say that the disproof of these charges are fie this, as in other

Lord., in the first place the first emoted is, and I advert to
this cireonsstance merely. for the purpose of bringing two or
three points to year view, and not few the merrier of tread-

uhurtly revert to one or two points. The adultery is laid at
'Naples, on the second night after the Queen's arrival there.
Now, my Lords, mark this :—the Queen arrives on the even-
ing of the Bth, she goes to a concert on Ow evening of the
91h, and she goes to the opera 011 the evening of the 101 h.
The story of the adultery at Naples depends on the evidence
of Dement, awl there is this inconsistency in her tale, for
she fixes the adultery to have taken place on the second
night, and yet she nays it was the night when the (Stores

Now, the first thing we have from Denson., my Lord., is,
that the night before the Queen arrived, Amain, for the first

Nt, my Lord.," said the i.. de:mope! (Dr. Lushitegtoti),
" I say this, that, granting that Rergami slept ender the
same tent with her Majesty, granting that he slept there
night after night, I will justify ii." He hail ,hewn that there
was glutei and %sufficient reason for her Majesty sleeping ott
deck. Ile would now ask, what sort of lent it was she
slept in? It was a misnomer to cell it • tent. It was the
awning of the ship, which extended across nearly the whole
breadth of the ship, sad gathered together in the elemaiest
manner, fastened with pins, and accessible to every one,
who had only to turn the canvass aside to enter at pleasure.
It was not even formed and fastened so as to exclude the
wind ; nay, when it was once remarked to her Majesty, that
the tent or awning impelled the course of the vessel, she
said that she would as anon sleep without it. This was not
all : it appeared front the evidence, that besides the men at
the helm, there never were less than ten men on deck
during the night; that the hatchway was always open;
and that, besides, both the Queen and Bergemi remainrd
dressed during the whole night. lint it was said that there
was no light tinder the tent. True it was; but how was that
fact explained? It had been sh«wo by the evidence, that the
Queen had been 'deified to have no lights tooter the tent on
account of the dsteger the ship was at that time in from pi-
rates. Si, much, then, for the opporisteeitiew To clime 11.5wr to
the evidence of what Woolly passed under the tent. Majocchi
swears, that, sleeping below, he heard the creaking of a heel
oil the deck above; anal the only inference the Learned Coun-
terl could draw from this creaking was, that an act of adultery
had twee committed. This was ridiculous enough! but look
how the evidence of Majoechi was confirmed. Some of the
witnesses stated, that sleeping where Majoechi diet, he
could not have heard what he pretended and swore he had
heard : and none of those, who, front being on deck donne
the night, must at least have braid any thing of the kind
much better than Olajocchi—neither Bargeolo, the master,
sow Posta°, the mate—nor Lieutenant Flynn, the Captain
of the vessel—had apposed even to the semblance of such
fact. How unjust was it 10 draw an inferenm of total from
the mere existence of a possible opportunity, whets detection
I was so easy, he had almost said so unavoidable What ! was
I it to be credited that her Majesty would exchange her bed,
its the cabin below, where, if she had entertained the erimi-
nal pinion imputed to her, she rootlet have indulged it free
from all intrusion or observation ? was she, for any inconve-
nience to which she might he there subjected, to exchange it
for a couch upon deck, where she was to be exposed to incon-
veniences of a tenfold worse description—where she could
only repose with her clothes on—where she was liable every
mimeo* to intrusion—where she was exposed to the eu-
rine, eyes of the lowest individual on board the ship?
The Learned Gentleman continued to reason with great
power and perspicuity on the guilty inference which had
been drawn (tom Rergami having slept under the tent in
the polecre, especially after the evidence of Lieut. lloweiam
had shown that attendance was Necessary In tier Royal High-
ness, on account of the various dangers of the sea, the sm.
possibility of females attending upon her while on deck, anal
the amnions of Lieut. Hownam that he himself had no
suspicion therefrom, nor did he look upon it as any other
than • proper and indispensable arrangement. Would their
Lordships infer guilt when this witness, who witnessed all
the circumstances, and more which be might not have re.
membered, declared, that at the time he saw no reason for
suspicion? It was then argued that it was not possible
fur a man and • woman to be in such contiguity with-
out the commission of guilt. Had there been 110 era.
1011 for Bergami's attend:rime, had he been taken under
the tent or atriong merely as a companion, without any
cause being discover:4le to chew the 'necessity of his
presence, it would in4wel have been good ground for respi-
cion of guilt, but not (or judicial pnoishnteni. The Judge
who would pronounce condemnation on sods grounds would
be guilty of judicial murder. He quoted the evidence of
Lieut. Howilam, as it appeared in the book of evidence, to
confirm hit argument. He declined any animadversion on
the bath scene, proved by Majoeche and Demme, after the
entire refutation given to their testimony by Lire:tense's
Flynn and Hownam ; he merely referred their Lordship, to
the various pages in which the relative evidence appeared.
Adverting to the kissing on the deck proved by Petazzo, he
rallied the other side on the paucity of proof, though
Petters° hail said that the time was evening.. sod almost
every body was on dee k. The rest of the offences he pro.
posed to pass over with still greater rapidity. He thought
that their Lordships would hardly expect the Counsel gravely
to argue against some of the more seriatim charges in the
Bill. One of them he pronounced to be as absurd as any
charge that ever was twonght in the world against an ac-
cused person. Gracious God! that in the Rill before the
House be should find the following solemn criminatimi
