to act on the unwritten law, than on any heed rule; tor
the former was in every honest man's breast. Ile, there-
fore, had no doubt that their Lordships would not tie up
the defence of the Royal accused by such a rule.
The Attorney-General stated that he would have supposed
From the grimness's of Isis Leanly! Friends that their Lind-
shim were abont to adopt some new role tooknown to the
judicature of the country, instead of whether they west now
111 depart from that role which had been made for ages.
The true question was, whether they would deviate so
far front the fixed rule as to relax it 011 the present
occasion. The hardships complained of by the Leein-
eol Counsel were of the generality of the charge and
the denial of the list of witnesses; it was more of elect:inane
lion than of actual complaiist; in en indictment, time and ;
place were certainly technically mentioned, but the limo 1
mad place there mentioned had nothing to do with the pe-
riod sad place where the crime was Colllloiiiied except sit
cases of high treason, and there the Act of QlO ell Anne
was sot acted on until the case of Lord George Goo
don. Mr. Justice Foster at that thins deprecated its
being introduced, amid hoped the Legislature would re-
peal it. That Act, in his (the Lammed Attorney-(iene-
ears) (*iron, had done much mischief to the accused)
••••(11r when a list of witnesses, coosisting of 60, was given,
perhaps there were only ten produced to installs the accusa-
tion ; but this was the only solitary case is the law of the
country where a list of witnesses was given. The act
assimilated to this proceeding, that of erica. con.; they
might go over the distance of six: years, and no time or
• place specified. The use of the Duke of Norfolk, odic,'
much stress had been laid on, in the Bill there it was only
slated that his wife hail committed adultery, without stating
with whom, or what time. The Ducheso.complaiiied that
the name of the adulterer was nut mentioned, and instead of
the time of •the adulterous connection romplained of in
the Bill being only five or six months, it was five years.
It was they who came now to ask their Lordships to infringe
that role which they had before laid down, and to establish
one which would he subversive of every principle of justice,
not merely as applicable to this case, for he did nut wish to
confine the view of its operation within any narrow limit.,
but as to its general 'operation is, all cases which might oc-
cur. They had availed themselves of their Lordship.' 11111111-
gence, and had made their choice of the option given, whe-
ther they would have Majucchi recalled and creiss.exaonilied

ney-General) mentioned this to shrew, that it had never been
intended to shut them out from the after examination of any
witnese, whenever they could chew thet ciocumstesteeis had
reached their knowledge, which, in their Lordships' opinion,
rendered it necessary. But even this was an advantage never
allowed in any other case—it could be claimed as a
matter of right. No doubt a Judge would, upon applica-
tion, recal • witness, and put any question dictated by
cireumitances which any criminal might wish to have
put, or any Counsel might suggest in his Loewy ; but it
was never vet thought of that a witness should be recalled
for the purpose of teeing cruse-examined when the case fur
the prosecution was closed. As to the equivalent which
it had been said their Lordships had consented to
allow for the advantages which would lave been se-
cured to her Majesty the Queen by any other mode of pro-
cedure, but of which, by the forms of the present proceed-
ing, she would be deprived, he had always understood such
promise to have alluded to an allowance of time after the
whole of the case in support of the Bill had been gone
through, to enable her Majesty to procure the attendance of
such witnesses from foreign parts as might be deemed ue-
ceesary for her tleNnce; but by no means bad he ever con-
sidered it as implied, or promised, the t the cross.examination
of any of the witnesses should be delayed until the whole of
the examinations in chief had been gone through. Much
had been said no the other side of the injurious tendency to
her Majesty of the statements and evidence in ea ppot.uf the
Bill remeinisog uncontraolicted for so great • length of time,
suet great complaints hail heen matte by his Learned Friend,
Mr. Denman, of the aspersions and calumnies contained in
the comments on the evidence in those paps* which favoured
the Bill; now he wished their Lordships could see the com-
ments which were daily made in papers of the opposite
side, on the supporters of the Bill, on their Lordships'
Moose and its proceedings, on the witnesses in the rase,
and the testimony the, bail given, and he was sure their
Lordships would think that so far from her Majesty or her
advocates having cause to complain, he and those whose
duty it was to support the measure before their Lordship,
were the parties who haul in reality a right to feel themselves
aggrieved and injured by the comments alluded to. The
question had been very unfairly stated by Mr. Denman to
be, oleo-tiler their Lordships would now, in compliance with
the demand of the supporters of this 8011, restrict the other
side in their croosi-examination,to narrower limits than those
to which they had hitherto been confined ; but he athrined
that the 'question was in fact whether their Lordships would
now, in coniplimsee wills the wish of her Majesty's defenders,
depart from the rule they had hitherto observed, ur extend it
to the length which they called fur, of delaying the cross-
examination of each witness until the whole of the while yea
had been examined in chief; this course, he couteieded,
would be most unfair to all the parties: it would be unfair
to the witnesses, because, by the delay, they might forget
many of the circumstances to which they had deposed in
their examinations in chief: mid it was unfair for the
party under accusation, because the witnesses would thereby
bare time to ievise their depositions, to refresh their memo-
ries!, and prepare themselves to meet the crieo-esa 11l i l
Their Lordships would do well to examine whether the rules
established fur the conducting of evidence were founded on
priuciples the hest adapted for eliciting truth, and therefore
proper to be strictly adhered to, or whether they thought fit
to alter them and jotroduce a role at variance with their
own proceedings, at variance with ilw rules of all Courts iu
the kingdom (by which he did out mean to say their Lord-
ships were sseetarsarily hound), and at vsriatice wills the
practice of their ancestors. He trusted they would weigh
well the effect of such a rule, as a precede'', soot ouly in

In swayer to this, he should beg leave to refer their Lord-

hail specified lout any one place. and failed in the
proof of that one, lie would not have been allowed to go
into proof of any other adultery einamitted in any other
place, however numerous the instances might have been in
which it bad been committed: " My Learned Friend (Mr.
Brougham) has stated, that the role how applied for was
that which, goverswil all forms of proceeding, civil or cri-
minal. (Mr. B chaos here said be had only usestiosed

authinity in support of his assertion ; tint my Learned

the times and places of their alleged Clllllllll6llll/0 is capes
of high treason ; but it is a well-koswo rule of law, that
as overt eel laid in one toasty may be proved to have been
committed in auother. As to the specilicstion of the time
in such cases, it was true a particular date was always
given; but it was always alleged is another Court to have
been committal at " divers other times before sail after"
that date. The only purpose of the permission to revel
a witness is, that if she witness have given a different
account of the trausaciion to which he deposes at any
ether time, tin witness can be called to prove the con-
tradiction until the witness himself has been examined
as to that account. if the Learned Gentlemen us the-

of the Journals to which he hid referred, entailment ing on them
as he proceeded. It •ppeart il that Ann Bairiuss, oae of She

to the slate of the examination, ou which Mr. Brougham
remerked that in that case, like the pertains, transactions of
six years preceding were involved. Twenty witwessra, it
appeared, were all in like martyr exsmined and sworn, sod

though the Attorney Generale std no order had been made ill
the case, to he furnialted to the Machete's proctor, and lime

to the apecificatioa of times and places, tt appeared from she
Learned Gentleman's reading, that is. consplimere with Baehr
Lordship, first order, the crime i,.il been generally specified,
as adultery committed in certain places then mentioned, in
certain months Own also recited: and that spool a ist coed
application, particular mouths hail been specified as the
times of commitiing the several acts at particular places].
Mr. Brougham then cautioned, that if just ea much inform-
ation as the last recited order contained had been fensislwd
to him, •nd those who were joined with him in this
case, they emeld have desired No music, and their situation
would have been widely different from that in which
they were now placed. Thus much in reply to the Attorney
General. He came now to his coadjator, the Learned Soli-
citor General, and be confessed that be approached him
with awe. The Solicitor General was its the habit of treat-
ing him sod his Learned Friends as people almost too low
for his Notice. "Go, go." says the Leafed Gardenia...
" You are only the Queen's Attorney General, the Queen's
Solicitor General, the Queer's Counsel..—l am Solicitor Ge-
neral to the King." And jerked this appeared to be the
only tire ground of his assumed superiority. Why did he
not plume himself oa the advantage of his daily success in
this case, his conduct is which was certainly totalled
to his warmest commendation. But any eucoasitani from
him (Mr. Brougham) could old add eves a single leaf to the
laurels he had so gained. It meet be reserved fur she
Learned Attorney General to eulogise b(ni, and from such a
quarter praise must indeed be acceptable. He must, how.
ever, say that his tabours bad been most strenuous and his
zeal most exemplary in this case; and exerted ha it was is
the presence of his employers, his patrons sad the powers
and framers of the Bill, the proper judges of his merit, sad
the persons to whom he must look for his merited reward,
it was natural to expect that it world sot pima altoge-
ther unapproved by them. But the Leatied Solicitor-
Geoeral in the height of his success did trot forget to
remind him (Mr. Brougham) that be still had some
little of nature's failings left, tome touch of their com-
mon nature, for after all he 'apprised they' were of the
same nature, still remaining in hint. The Learteed Solicitor-
General said that he erred in stating that is all proceedings,
civil or criminal, the defendant had a right to demand a lope.
eilestion of time and place, and a list of witnesses. This in-
deed he haul 1101 stated, but he had said, and would now re-
peat, thet they had always a right to such a declaratioe,•nal
to the observance of such particulars as must prevent Breit
being taken by surprise. In an acting. for debt, they do soot
specify the place of the debt ; because • debt is a debt all the
world over; but they do and moat specify the nature of the
' debt, how it was contracted, snit when sod for what. la an
action fur breach of coutraci,the declaration must sot tilde ge.
serail, that the Defendant has broken his contract, but each
particular breach of covenant must be spec4fird and set forth.
If any action were brunght of such a general nature as to
have any doubt in the mind of the Da resident as to the
charge to which he was is answer, there could be so
question that a more minute specification would be granted
him; for hr would ask if it was ever knows in ibis country
that • party was brought to answer without knowing the time
and place where the let' 111 l • with which hemmed charged were
committed. But this is a criminal case, mod in ninety-aisle
cases out of a hundred the party knows, from the place in
which he is inspriooned,that the crime will be charged as hay-
ing been committed is the county iu which the gaol is situ-
ated; and all that is necessary for him is to recollect all the
equivocal acts there committed by hint, and he was
thus in possession of every thing necessary for his defrace.
In the like maimer an indictment dues not run over a games
whole life. He was not charged with having " felonious
intercourse." The act charged is specific. Fur picking a
pocket, not for having maintained a pocket.pichiag iNiel,
course during six or seven years, sad ender the laws, as sow
administered, there was hardly au 1111111111 Ct of a man who was
pat us his trial in igooraner of the crime laid to his charge.
Their Lordships were row about to lay down a rule fur their
proceediags in Bills of Pains and Penalties, which was not

Bills were to be so very eoismom, like Road sad Canal
Bills, it was necessary to have a particular sort of judicial
logic to know how to deal with them, and that therefore
it behoved their Lordships to lay down a rule never to
be swerved from, and the argument for the inviolability
of the rule went so far as to say, better that injustice
should be done to an iadividual than their Lordships'
risk be treuched upon. Looking to what might be the
chances of there being another Bill of Pains and Penal-
ties against a Queen in the course of the mat century,
he might reasonably ask that the rule laid down should be
favourable for the Defeadaut. Why should all the cost, the
suffering, the injustice, anal cruelly, be applied to the Queen
and out to her persecutors? The °Misery presumption of
law on which Judges act was, that it were better fur leo
guilty to escape than one inaoceist person to suffer; but
they were now told, that it is hitter fur ten inuocret to
suffer injustice than the House not to have a positive rule.

LONDON, -
TUESDAY. AUGUST 39r 18208

Our readers are no doubt aware that the pro-
reeiiiiigs in the House of Lord. were suspended on
Saturday at a very early hour, for the purtso
affordinic their Lordahiv, and the Qounirel at ik!
bar an opportamty of reflecting. upon lis • nu -t
effrelual expedient for ourtnoolistis.g the il,ffiro!t:,
in winch they were involved re/peeling the mode of
regulating the ero4—rxamination of the witnes.e..
It was suggrvlrd on Suitirday morning by the

Counsel fur the QUEEN, that, us her iIIAJFSTY
had not been furnished with • list or the witness.

whom it might please the prosecutors to roduce
against her, it was utterly impossible for them It.
pursue their erns-examination immediately on the
close of the direct examination ; for they could not
by inspiration know Roy thing of the liver, habits,
and characters of the foreigners, Gernter.:,
Turks, and African., who might in succession ap-
pear at their Lordships her ; they therefore re-
quested that they might be permitted, on the close
of the direct examination of the witnesses for the
Bill respectively, to put certain questions to them,
fur the purposes only of ascertaining their places
of residence and occupation, and then to defer tl,r•
further cross-examination until they had obtained
such information respecting the witnesses as should
render a cross-examination useful. To this re.
quest the !louse on Saturday consented, and fLe
ride sous established ; but no sooner did Mr.
BROOGIIAU proceed to take advantage of it, in the
Case of BARBARA KnEsSE, the well.paid chamber.
maid, than Lord LIVERPOOL interposed, and di.
rested the attention of the [louse to the Menu-
eminencies attending their own deci-ion made a few
minutes previously, and the Lords were induced
to revise the resolution they had al'eady adopted.
In the difficulty then felt by the House, it was
thought necessary to have recourse to the opinions
of the Counsel at the bar, and Mr. Baountism was
actually invited to suggest to the House some plait
for. their Lordships' adoption. The singularity of
the command, and the importance of the anatter,
induced s desire in Mr. BROIAIIIAM's mind to co'.-
feet the sentiments rif his Learned Colleagues b. tirre
he could venture to offer any sugge.tion, and this
circumstance fortunately occurring, saved the dig:iity
of the [louse from so strange a proceeding. The
motion of adjournment came happily to their
relief.
The Lords assembled sgsin yesterday morning.
at ten o'clock, but they had in the mean time re-
covered front the surprise into which they had
fallen on Saturday. Instead therefore of calling in
Counsel to advise their Lordships upon the mad.

of proceediog they ought to substitute for that
which sotne of them began to think was improper.
they proceeded to discuss the question withottt any
extraosous a.sistatice. The point was one, indeed, •
of serious difficulty—it was no less than whether its
a case, differing in all its circumstances froat any
That had ever previously occured, they should pur-
sue the obvious dictates of natural justice, and grant
to the illustrious accua-d 'vet), latitude and advar-
tage in the conducting of her defence which tt c
extraordinary nature of the charge would permit, or
sacs dice every claim of honour and humanity to the
strict observarce of certain narrow rules of crux inal
procedure which had been framed, not upon ai.y ab-
abaci ptincipies of equity or law, but upon past oc-
currences of an ordinary and contiston-placv nature ?
it is to be remembered, or rather it can never be for-
gotten, that the House of Lords, by the direct rin of
the prosecutors, rs fused to the QuEEN a list r I the
witnesses. although iu Lord ERSKINE'S motion for
this act of common justice a special protection was
sclera to the pice.ecutors that the giant of such a
list should slot operate to their disservice. it was,
however. then generally understood, that in recom-
pense for this relosai every latitude should be
omitted to the QUKCII its conducting her de-
&Lice. and especially that time should be given
for the purpose of enabling her to obtain such
infinnutliou us might conduce to a refutation of the
charges. Thts understanding =ceded tharinerly
from Lord Latreareet.. We it will be said

that the Noble Lord osier hove leaded merely to
the ',induction of witnesses on tdo part of the
QUitrir, to meet the altegittimil of the witnesses on
•he °prosier side, hot the eaters and extent of the
coneersion are not to be 'Mitigated by the probable
meaning of the Noble Lord, bet by what every
r.rion must feel to be the obtribne import of the
promised indulgence. Thee suiderstanding was,
that the (insult should have time for procuring
information toward. establishing her defence ; but
of what avail will all the information she can pos-
sibly obtain be, if her Counsel he prohibited from
applying it at their own discretion in the way of
cross-examining the witnesses against her ? The
information obtained might, for instance, prove that
grows bribery had been practised in the instances of
M'ajocchi, the c4piain, and mate of the merchant-
'hip, and the chambermaid, or it might shew that
the lives and characters of these, or of any of these,
had been infamous; but such information would
be rendered wholly useless if the witnesses were
tvrotecterl from being questioned in she way of
crow—examination l hitsg these matters, at the
will of the Counsel for the QUEEN, sod not at the
discretion of she Howse of Lords, where by po,si-
bility the ioflitence of the prosecutors might pre-
vent the patting of an inconvenient or disagreeable
question. _ _

Rut on the other side it cannot. also be denied I
that such a mode of proceeding would be attended
s‘itlt very gnat inconvenience; so great, indeed,
es to justify the House, in ordinary cases, in refus-
ing to satictioti the rule. We lay aside the argu-
;Lows drawn from precedents, as being inapplicable
to this raw ; for nothing can be more absurd than
ts stand noon precedents when expediency nr
justice required • deviation from them ; but the
great objection is, that while the power of cross.ex-
renitiing the wain's,s remained open, it would be
oninst to require the Counsel fur the Bill to close
their rase and sum up the evidence, as they would
be thereby dehared from adducing further wit-
nesses to supply drficiencies,and explain doubts that
might result front the cross-examination ; sod if
they were not to sum up after the close of the direct
examination, but were permitted to wait until after
the t ross.examinavion, it is obvious that the pro-
ceedings wool(' be interminable. The discus.:
sem of this subject• occupied the Lords during
the g.enter psrt of yesterday. so that no evidence
was heard. The greatest difficulty their Lord-
ships had to encounter seemed to arise from the
desire of some Noble Lords to adhere closely to
precedents. The LORD CHANCELLOR. as might
be expected from his habits of mind, strongly con..
tended for the observance of what he was pleased to
call the consistency of their proceedings; and the
Learned Lord, at the close of Ins observations,
forcibly urged that " it would he better to acquit
tell thousand guilty persons disu to break down
a known role of liw to meet • particular case."
If a known rule of law was found very inconve-
nient, and oppossed to the ends of substantial jos-.
tire, we should not be disposed to pay it much
respect. The LORD CHANcELLoa's closers-stain
was, however, calculated to mike au impression;
but we should far more admire the• Noble and
Learned Lord if lie had said, " that it were better
to break through 10,000 rules of law than pre-vela
an innocent woman front repelling • charge of guilt."
This difficulty is the first fruit of the muotnalous
mode of proceeding adopted by the House of Lords
in this most anomalous cases It had nut been felt
if their Lordships had in the first instance acceded
to Lord ERSKINE'S motion, and granted the list of
o itnesties. Even the warmest advocates for prece-
dents might have safely acquiesced in the motion,
fur the cave of the Duchess of NORFOLK, to which
ase alluded in our Paper of this day week, was
directly in point.
To relieve the House from this emba►rassment, it
was proposed by Lord MANNERS, the Lord Chancel-
lor of Ireland, that the QUERN'S Counsel should be
instructed that they might recal a witness for the
purpose of crom-examiliatioit, upon a case being
laid to the sstisfaction of the House to warrant
sup h a proceeding—that the questions should be
submitted to the •auction of the House, and
be proposed through the LORD CHANCELLOR.
Thin proposal met with the approbation of the ma-
jority of the House, but it was agreed that the
Counsel for the QUEEN should be admitted to speak
against at. Mr. Baountism's speech is extremely
iaterestiog. and is eminently deserving the earnest
attention of the public. Tlie House will, we pre.
some, take the subject into their consideration
again this morning.

At half past twelve o'clock yesterday, Ablerman
Wont, went to the House of Loi do for the purpose
of ascertaining how long the debate relative to the
rum-examination of the witnesses in chief would
probably continue, if it was not the intention of the
QUEEN to visit the House until the resumption of
the examination of the witurases. 1V e presume he
understood the debate would not occupy the whole
day, as her .41 LITT repaired to the House at two
o'clock.
The crowds of persons assembled yesterday
morning along the streets ib the line of the
Qtfitte's-route were unueouHy greet, bring warty
tiK numerous as they were on the Grit alley of
her MAIIITY'S trial. The Treasury prints eodea-
your to deceive their country reader by assuring
them that there is no.inthasiass &Wiled by the

people in favour of the Qusse, sad that very few
persons indeed., and these of the very rabble of the
metropolis, follow her carriage. If such were the
Lim, we certainly should not now contradict their
statements. Tl►e truth, however, is, that although
in the crowds that ■t►end upon the Quits, there
is of cot►rse a large proportion of the lowest dames
of the people, there are also very many well-dressed
and respectable persons, who chew as earnest a mil
in her MAJESTY'S behalf as any class sf the people
whatever. But by none is the warm enthusiasm of the
public more fervently evinced than by the growpes of
Ladies who uniformly grace the windows every day
almig the whole line of the QUEEN'S route.
Her MAJESTY did not enter the body of the
House of Lords, and finding that the resexamina-
non of witnesses was not likely to be resented, she
returned to her residence in St. Ja►ues's-squa►e
about four o'clock.

-a

A little after five o'clock her MaJitsvr re.
ceived the Cripplegate Address. The Depots.
lion which presented it made $ very imposing
and splei.dul appearance. The procession consist-
ed of from thirty to forty carriages, three-fourths
of which were landaus and four, each carrying on
au average eight persons, the gentlemen and the
postillions all wearing white favours, emblematical
of the purity of her MAJESTY'S cause. The coml.
cute proceeded along Fleet-street, down the Strand,
and op Cockapur-street to St. James's-square,
accompanied by crowds and acclamations.
On the breaking up of she House of Lords yes-
terday the Members were greeted with their usual
salutations by the crowds in the streets. The
Duke of YORK was loudly cheered. He made his
way with difficulty through the populace, who
puma' d him with iniceasnig benedictions. His
Royal Highness conducted himself in the most con-
descending milliner. He bowed and smiled on
every side. The Marquis of ANGLESEY and some
others, not considered friendly to the Queen, met
a very differeut reception ; they were assailed with
hisses and hooting during the whole of their way.

the nation.
On Saturday morning a gentleman of the highest
respectability was in wailing in St. James's-squares,
from an early hour, to give the strongest testimony
on the subject of MAJOCCHI'S real character. New
tights too are said to have been thrown 00 the con.
duct of the captain and mate of the polacre, who.e
evidence was calculated to make a momentary im-
pression.

It might prove not unacceptable to our readers to
learn what some of the respectable Country Papers
say of the present proceedings against the Quess.
The York Herald of Saturday, alluding to the en-
thusiasm of the people of the Metropolis in her MA.
JESTY'S favour. adds

" The great bulk of the people in the country al-o, are 1,
more and more convinced that the prosecution of her Majesty
is the effect of personal rancour rasher than of national po.
hey. The public in general will feel fully convinced that the
Queen of England has been basely tradncrel and most shame-
fully treated. Even the liberal-minded man, who is almost
ready to materials a belief that some trifling degree of fm
iailiarity, arising from peculiar circumstauces, may have
existed—even such • male must feel disgusted with the groat►.
ness of spirit which her enemies daily betray—and even sotl
though friendly to Tory principles, on general gronsalk, will
despise the men who can thus permeate she weak dad
defeaceleas, and who can treat with contempt the wishes
of a people who at keel deserve to. be governed by *Mee
winds, mud to be directed by the generous sad the wive."
