Mr. Pont II examined by Ike Earl of Ceraarron.
Mr. Powell has stated that Mutelli Wag atlli to Milan on
the Thursday or Friday after the rising of this Mouse ; was
that stn the 14th ur IStlsSeprernbcr ? The 1511., on • Friday.
Do you know if Itastelli was direetedl to take dispatches
in his way to Milan to Sir Cinch a Stewart at Paris? I do not.
When you arid him away, at what time did you expect
him to return' I expected he would arrive in klilais its
seven or eight slays. I deaired lon. to brisoc some papers
whit h I thought might be rignired for this case; conse-
quently I rxperted Itastelli would have returned from Italy
by the 3d of October, to have brought those pope...
Was Itastelli instructed to go any where but to Milan ?
No vwhere, hut to go direct to Milan.

Do you know if, about the same time, any other person
wbo bad been brought to this country to give testimony in
this cause, ea, seat back to Mani ? 1 know that previous
to that time one per►ou was, but it *as not any persou also
bad lice.' examined•

(holy one peison 1 rerolltcl only one person.
Was that iursou oue of those who had landrd at Dover!
De was uot.

HOW 1104114 after that period bad any person who had bees
a. tat for to give testimony in this rause been sent back or
allowed to go to M113(II Ptll VIOUS to Itastrili ? Ido not know
of any previong to Itaitelli.
You said that one permit wu ; was any other person
sent or allowed to ilsll4lk since? Nut to my knowledge.

To the brat of your know ledge and belief
The wanes, was ordered to withdraw.

Tbr Earl of I.:violinist.. said hr mist object to the line of
examination now adopted by the Noble law!. He could not
think it right ur proper to .x.innue one of the agents of the
patties before the Court, touching coinniunicatioiss which
might have been wank to him confidentially in that capacity.
The E.ail of Livirpool said, it might poaribly save the
time of the House if Ise staled, which he bail out the least
hesitation in doing, that kis opinion had been asked a■ to
the right of sendiug back any person who had conic over as
a 'rigor.. and hail nut beets examined, and he had given his
opinion that such persons might he sent back, and if he
were asked a. to his belts( be would say, tha. several hail
been sent hack.

Grey eo.,eeivrd that the Noble Earl had misappre-
hembil the object of his Noble. Friend is his examination.
The case was this—one sit the agents of the Cruwu
contrary to Lis duty, aria away a material vritness, in
apology fur which he had slated that he hail so dune to
give assurauce to the families of the witnesses, who
had been *so great alarm for their personal safety,
of their welfare. Now the object of Isis Noble Friend,
and what the House had to consider, was to ascer-
tain whether the excuse fur comfort which had been
universally coudensued—universally, with the exception of
his Noble Frieu.l OU she arum-beueli, was valid. For that
purpose his Noble Friend had examined to sue if ally other
person had not been sent Web, who could auswer all the
purposes of quieting the alarms, 11/4c. which Powell bad
rueutioned. Ile thought the questiou was perfectly propel,
and fitting ill be put.
The Lail of Lauderdale agreed with his Noble Frirml,
that the übjert of the examination ought to he &liaised, lint
he thought the proper ipwst ttttt was, " whether Nov Italian
persou also hail beef. seut f..r to give CVIIIPOICe in this ease,
had bee., sent hark to Italy," and to a questom so framed
1w had no rilieesion.
The Lord Chincillor said, the House could not he too
cautious in the ipsestious they put to an agent, as there. was
no
relation snore sacred. The question, Iseu thought,ought
to be, " Have you not senior permitted any oilier pressor to
go abroad who could give the same inturosatiou fur which
you say you sent ltastelli ?"
The Earl of Rosalyn thought 11w question here was, wbe-
ther an agent in sloe cause keit been dealiog wish one of the
witnesses in a mammy *herb their Lordships mast condemn,
and they were examining Inns to see if the excuse tend. red
was real, or truly a pretence.
The Lord Clotorellor agreed with Hie Noble Lord that
there might be a great many particular eases iu which it
might be desirable to exemiue an again as to particulars,
which, if the questions weir eufurced, might end.suger Ibe

The Earl 4 f Cain:lrene said that it was not his iutention
to quertiun the right of the agents for the prosecotiou to
send array witnesses who had nut been ix:mimed. The ob-
ject of the taaminatio• which had been interrupted, was to
say the value of the evidence given by Mr. Powell yesterday,
in *hick he admitted that lie had sent away • material
witness, contrary to the order of Government, and the as-
BSI given by the Noble Earl opposite to the Haase,
that it astelli was the only courier who would have conveyed
the information to Italy. He (Earl C.) could sbew that aut
oue witness, but perhaps SO or GO witnesses bad gore back,
whose personal appearauce, being probably well clothed,
fed, said paid, might have given the most perfect satisfaction
to the uliuds of the relatives of the wit • .

Lotd Auckland thought that there should be great liberality
iis flee applicaiun of the soles ofevideace its this, which was
a criminal, and nut a civil procedure.
1 he Lord Clsaucellur seminiled the House, that an agent,
however closely he might be examined as to his ow• interest
iu • case, euu;d have nu right to hasard the interests of his
principal.
Lord Elleoborough differed from the Noble and Learned
Lord upon this question. The principle was not applicable
as its ordinary cases. The State was the prosecutor, and t►e
Attorney General would have no case to make. All be had
tir do was to assist their ',worships Ise coming at the truth,
and nothiug else. It the principals its this prosecution
found that they could out tound a case, their simple duty
was Its atoamluo .t. Their Lurd.hipa, as part of the Slate,
had mideitaken to conduct the prosecution, and they bad •
right to examine their oars agents lu whatever pans of the
procreiliisgs they might choir...
The witness was recalled.
The last question and answer were 1b.% read over, as was
the succeeding question, viz
Were any other witnesses Beat away, to the best of your
knowledge alma belief? To the best of my knowledge and
belief nu other witiseas was sent away ; 1 have heard that
two others have gime.
At the time you resolved to send Rastelli back to Milan,
had you ingrained a hearer or not it was probable t►at any of
the witnesses would be permitted to return? 1 made no
inquiry oil the subject.
You stated, that from letters which you bad received, you
had learnt that Rastetli was very ill; from *hum did you
ri mire those letters ? From Colonel thrown

Hy the Marquis of Lamalown—Did you instruct Runelli
to go to any other plate besides Mitau? I have answered
lolure that I dui nut.

Do you cuosmk•r the witermes for the prosecution to be
tinder your direction? Certaitily not.
By land Erskiue—Did you make the application to Ras.
(rib to go to Mitsui, or was it made by bun to you ? I re-
quested hint to go.
Solely fur the purpose of quieting the minds of the friends
of the wititessest Solely for that purpose.
Solely fur the purpose? Aud to take hack some papers to
Milan to be legalised.
If you were so aoxiona as you have ►epresented to quiet
the nitwits uf air ri.ko.:s of the witnesses, how came you to
employ Bastelli to get papers legali►ed shade must have
created delay ? I sent the papers by him to 1w legalist d, in
order to acquire further proof, which I expected to have gut
from thence by the time the Douse met the 3il October.
But did you Mimi that the papers should out be left by
ft:twill, or was he to go on and call for them on his retu►n?
I lied no expectation at all ou the sobject ; the papers were
to be left, and if legalised by Colonel Ike.ta in time for
Itastellei town, they were to be forwarded by him.
By the :Brigitte of trinarlows—Will the witness state
what families lie know• ■t Milan convened with the wit_
arises at Cotton thistles ? At Milau or in the iteighbeur-
howl?
name cannot carry i■ my mind the various witnesses
sod their families. The information was Not Weeded for
the frailties at Milan only, but the neighbourhood.
Did you give instructioua to Itastelli to go to the families
about the neighbourhood Milau ? I sluir't recollect giv.

Earl Grey thee wi.hed Mr. Powell lo he again called ia.
That ;coll.:lama being replaced at the bar, Earl Urey st-
emmed his examivatiou.

1 understood Mr. Powell to have stated, that he hail writ-
ten to Culuuel Brown, a mmunicatiug the nature of Hos-
teller mission—can he produce the a hula• ur that part of the
copy of his letter containing that eommuoicatiou ? I object
to the 'production of the whole of that communicatioo,
being cuisfidential and arising out of my situation.
Du you object to produce 'attic r the whole ur any part of
that eissuumuication ? I commis, ■Il comnitinicatious
made by woe to Colonel Bruwo, ur by Colonel Biowu to use,
as confidential conimunicati made by aurl to use, as au
agent fur this HAI; and cosisiderisii myself in that charac-
ter, 1 object to the productiou of all or any part of my cor-
respondence relating to that subject.
I noderstuud you yesterday to say, that you gave Rastelli

ams, by lb.st time, or as near it as he could.
Did you give hem any reason for a ishiug him to return
by that 11114, Ido not recollect stating ■uy pat titular
reason.

I understood you yesterday to say, that you did not ex-
pect Riegel!' would be wanted before this business would be
prueeciled upon in the House of Cvniniusie? Asa witiovis.
What was your reason then fur giving him such po►tuve
iujignetious to return by the 3•I of October? Because I
wanted him to return with the papeis which I scut, and
which I cooceived I might waist so use uu the resuinpleou
of the proceedings use the 3d of Ortuber.
And not with a view to his htiugicasniued further in this
House ? Taw necessity of his being called LW a witness in
the further proteediogs its this House, did out suggest itself
to use. Tne Counsel for the dr fence having stated that they
had no further questions to ask any of the witnesses in sup-
port of the Bill, I could not conceive ihn wittiest. would be
called for as a altars, by them.
You were aware, however, of the opinion of this (louse,
that all the witnesses should be kept in a state to be repro-
duced if necessary at soy tune during this inquiry That
the House had so decided.

The gremlins repeated by Earl Grey ? lam not aware
that this He*IOW made any order that the witnesses in sup•
part of the Bill should be kept in readiness to be again .XS.
Mined ; but I underatuod, that nu the rehire proceeding. of
the Bill they shoaki be ready to be recalled, if necessary.
You have stated that you were torrent when the First
Lord of the Treasury mod that directions shoeskl be given
that alt the riming** should be so kept ? Certainly.
Were you not therefore aware that Raiment as well as the
others was not to be removed? I cam only say that it did
nut immediately suggest itself to me when I was reading
or I should out have sent him.
Could nut those +Messes who were seal back at the time
itf Illastelles going, have answered all the purposes of as-
suring the ramoses of those who remained of their safety'
I conceived Rasieili to be the most reaper person, ►ecauss
be accompanied dean to this enamel. and I believed him to
be well acquainted with their families.
Then you meant him to have a personal communication
with their families ? As far as was in his power.
Yea ruse. 'veil that be was the best agent to have a per-
sonal heminunicatium with the families of the wisneases, to
weave them of their safety ? I thought him the best person
to have a communication with tire families of these indivi-
duals for that pupae.
Year reason, thee, for sending back Rastelli, was that he
might have such cuaintenication ? ply reason fur sending
Kalitelli beck was that he might take letters from those Midi-
viduals to their families, sod personally assure them of their
safely.
Can you state of your own knowledge, as agent in this
cause, whether say of t►e *Messes who have beta esamined
in this cause, have their families residing at Milan ?—[A
