Yuu have said, that on the nsOraieg after the Princess was
at the opera the larger bed bad the appearance of two persons
having slept in it—was that so I said that the bed looked
as if two permits had slept in it.
I beg to know what you meant by laying is a previous
part of the examination, when you said that you bad ob.
served the large bed, you perceived it bad been occupied,
but you could say uo more about it?
Some objection being pat to this question, Mr. Williams
directed the answer which he had quoted to be read from the
Notes, in which it was entered, " 1 know soothing about it."
The Solicitor-General said, that the subsiqrent evideime,
to which the questiuu first referred, ought to be read also.
Mr. IV'illiains--1 havesto objection. Do you call fur it?
As well as 1 can recollect, it was about twenty mimeses
after you had gut the auswer which has just beew read.
After examining about other polish, you brought her bock to
this and gut ■ diff.ment answer.
The Salicitor•Geoeral thought it necessa►y to have both
parts of the examination read, and questioueJ the right of
Mr. Williams to quote the answer without having it matt.
The Lord Chancellor said these could be mu doubt of the
right which a Counsel bad to put a question respecting the
matter of examination. if any objection were felt to the
terms on which such examivaiiun was quoted, the regular
way was then to refer to the notes.
I wish to know whether, whew site was desired to describe
