Inswing *asset' Whilst I was at Paris, a Geottlestaa

told me it wools' be necessary to change my name,
cause it would be dangerous to tame to F,uglaad tan.
der my own 'tame, as I h•ol told hint I was known in
Leaden under my Owe name."—Never had he Meows a
witness so completely entangled in the web of his awn
falsehood, so completely cooped up in a earner, from
*his+ he could not escape, by thognestions which followed:
" Did be tell sou a tumult had taken place?"—" He told
me there had been some disorder respecting other penises."

taken place lie told me too more this I have 'Ala."—
" 1 uoderstand yon to say that there had hem some die.

that any others had corgaitely come, but I thought they
might have been toot for as well as myself."—Now
he (Mr. Brouehon) dal not meats to deny that somebody had
spoken to die witness at Paris, sod oh.. their COnVerslllloa
might have turned upon his change of name for she ask of
concealment, his proper name he. ng known in England ; but
he dal most pootively deny that ally person could possibly
then hive told him of the issuosit at Dover, whirl, hid not
then happessid, and which did not happen, in petal of feet,
until toelse month, 'forewords. He would 'tidy ask their
Lordships to carry themselves bad:, in oisind, to July 1819,
awl to say whether any one of them could sit that time, even
iu the most fsiseifol insaiwor,hare-sireanot of that occurrence,
which we all now know to have taken place twelve months
later, end which nu sine now, lanteated luau he did himself.
Cirennott•nces like it,,.. were the only things by *kick
perjury cosild be detected, and the foulest conspirsey rk-
fisted. Rut one more topic arising out of the evideuee of
Sarclii, he had to allade to; be meant that disgusting
story which had been got up between him and ftsigelli, a
turned-off courier like himself, concerniug the indrccut po-
-111111.11/ of the hands of the Princess on au occasion when ahe
was travelling, the particulars of which be would nut ditt-
o/tot their Lordships by repeating. Did they, he octets( ask,
thud; it likely—was it in the smallest degree prohibit, that
soy woman, be had :Amos. said however infamons, souls' have
so fir forgotten herself, as in the open face of day so to con•
duct herself, and that under the eye of her own 'eremite?
Could they believe, that with a knowledge of a courier being
in attendance, riding near the carriage, who could at any
moment come sip, when least tapected, and by the discovery
blast her character fur ever eves, wills the most abandoned of
society, any rennin in this world could stiffer herself to
fall asleep in such a posture? This was trarryine the
bounds of probability fir beyond all ordissary compass; but
they must stretch it much farther, unless they believed her
to be Insane, ere they could credit what Saeehi hod stated,
that be was in the habit of f.eqeently going up to the
carriage in that manner, and had often teen the same thing.
T. believe that hinds so placed, notwithstanding the mo•
finis of a carriage travelling through the roads, where this
eircionstance was particularly stated to have occurred,
should be retained in that position, when by sleep the will
was deprived of all power over the lint_Ss, was so manifestly
repugnant to every revived notion tau the sohject, that the
evidence of philosophers who hail seen it would be neces-
sary to inane. heli.f; lost here it rested upon the sole
evidence of such a character as Sacchi. Now what
it the carriage used on dor joinery in question had
nes curtains such as had been described? what if it were an
English carriage, without curtains, but with glasses and
opring.blinds, which he could Hot have opened, even when
Ilse glasses were down, without ptillirg his band inside? and
what, still farther, if Saeehl were not site courier in •ttead-
anee on that journey ? He was not bound to prove any part
of this, unless the evidence on the other side disproved it.
They were bound to prove the whole of the circuit-
stances connected with any fact of their case by the best
evidence that cools) be bed, sod yet bat they trot veer.
lured upon • single question ealealated to elucidate say
of those circumstances to which he had alluded. Whoa
Sarchi was asked, if say body else were in the carriage
at the time? he answered, " San mil ricer& r• he did
not remember; but it wall utterly impossible that he
aluitald ant have remenstseresl if there were : and it would
be proved that there was soother person is the carriage
besides the leo whom the witness had mentioned, dar-
ing the whole of the journey. 'then, agaisy "H. had
never told this to any body—be had never said a word
on the subject to a single person until he had born
asked about it at Milan." Would their Lordships believe
it ? cod if they did not they most b,liesre him to have sworn
falsely; he had breathed a syllable of it in all their
tete•n-fell, is all their hours of dalliance, in all their most
confidential moments be had nut even whispered it to his
sweet &lend, his bosom companion, his dear Demon*.
This he had stated on his first eximinatims, when hav-
ing been railed up somewhat unexpectedly, after several
other oftener. bad been examined in sorcession, sod
b4ore he had an opportusity of lenraiog the nowt
of their depoaitions. After lie hail, however, through
their Lordships' indulgence, and by means of his own
knowledge of Engli.h, made Memel( acemainted with
their evidence, and discerned the effect of their answering
auiforinly that they hail not tnentioned the circumstances
to which they deposed, until their examinatiou at Milan,
he did on his subs•gpsent examination acknowledge that
he hod meetionesi it to somebody, hot he slid nut re-
member to whom. But he (Mr. Brougham) would con-
trod, that if a man who had been an eyewitness to such
no
occurrence as flaccid had deposed to hayloft seen, had
ever 'Ol.l that circumstance to one person, and but one
person only, it was not possible but that he should remem-
ber to whom he had so told it.

The Learned Gentleman was then proceeding to cornmeal
on the evidrure of Barbara Kesata or KV?OP, when--
For' Grey suggested, that after the great exertions which
the Learned Counsel had undergone, and the length of titae
he had been speaking, it might be better now to adjourn, it
being the stated hoar of adjournment.
The Earl of Liverpool said, that if the Learn►d COll/10,1
had any prospect of bringing his speech to a clefts, their
Lordships would nut object to protracting the time to a
quarter or half an hour later than usual.
The loud Chancellor said it was utterly impossible that
the Learned Counsel could, if he did the ease that justice
which it required, bring it near to a close in a quarter of en
hour, or seen ass hour lie therefore moved that the Hones
shussiti adjouru...—Adjourued at four o'clock.
