who had imposed upon those who were employed in the
unfor,iinate office of making the bad appear a good cause.
The Solicitor General had concluded by telling their
Lot&hips what judgment they were to give. The two
Learned Gentlemen had thus been placed in two very
different situations; the one as the very eager Advocate,
and the other as the sessions Judge. l'he solicitor Ge-
neral had, after giving this direction to their Lot rishipe,
stated that the pi eduction of wituesses for her Alajesty
could be attended with uo effect, concluded with a prayer
that her Majesty might depart from this investigation with
credit, and without isuputation. It was a source of prat
joy to hint that this prayer had been uffere 1 up. It was,
lie believed, the liist prayer that had ever beeu made fur
the Queen by a public officer of the Crown !—(A laugh.)
There certainly was something ominous in it; and he
trusted it was the first step for the restoration of her Ma-
jesty's name to the Church Service, front which it had
been most improperly removed. He congratulated his
Learned Ft lend that the case against which he had so de-
voutly preyed hail not been proved; and that the wretch
whose evidence had been considered so conclusive, had
appealed for the last time before them. The Learned
Counsel next referred to the testimony of Dumont, which
dram ibed her having seen Bergaini It. the passage near
the Princess's room, in the night. It appeared from
that evidence, as it bad
.been brought out by Mr. \ell-
limns, that the charge of adultery was strung against
Dumont and Bergen'', as it could be against her Royal
Highness and Bergami ; and from her declaration that
she escaped, it was to be presumed, that the plans of Bee-
gami weed directed against her, and not iu concert
with her Royal Highness, fur their mutual accommoda-
tion. The Learned Counsel neat adverted to the two
enter occasions when adulterous intercourse was, on the
authority of that previous witness, itlajocti, imputed to her
Royal Highness. Bergand we' ill, but that, it would Wein,

After having been absent about forty minutes,
Mr. OENSIAN returned and rebottled. After pursuing his
line of lailuitidvetsiwo at considerable length, he said, their

this ca-e—there could be nu compromise between humour
and titanic. By a compromise, the tided w ould sutler pettier

Bailey by unr of the Judges, who, if lie did not desire the
Jury to acquit their prisoner at once, would deserve to be im-
peached at that Bar. He (Mr. D) called upon, and entreated
them to consider, that the polluted evidence against the Queen
was the evidence of discarded servants. He was not able to find
any case similar to this in modern history. In the Boman !his-
tory be found the case of the Empress Octavia, who was repu-
diated, and became the victim of false evidence. Octavio became
the wife of the worst of the Roman Emperors. On the day alter
marriage, she was the object of his disgust, and was accused of
criminal intimacy with a slave. Her servants were not bribed,
but compelled by torture to swear against her. She was tried
and condemned to exile. The Roman people believed her inno-
cent, and un her return from banishment received her with tid-
ings of regard. She became the victim of a second conspiracy,
and was banished to an Island in the Mediterranean, where ate
had no alternative left her, but to die, either by poison, or the
dagger. The unhappy lady submitted to have her veins opened,
mad she bled to death. Here Mr. Denman quoted the words of the
Roman historian lamenting the fate of an unstable Princess. de-
