At ten minutes before ten o'clock, the LORD CHANCILLLOR
entered the House, and prayers were read.
lAird Ellenborough rose and said, that as the calling of
Meocchi again yesterday, and the evidence which he had
before given hail been the ground-work ifs gross attack upon
• Noble Lord now 'totalling an office of high tense abroad,
he wished to state a few facts which that Noble Lord would
have made for himself had be been present, and which facts
would totally destroy the statement of which be bail to com-
plaint, without at all invalidating Meocchi's evidence. It
would be seen that Meucchi described himself to have enter-
ed the service, or to have lived with the family of Lord
Stewait alter his retorts front Wait. The six or seven
months in which he had beets in Ilse Marquis Oilesealchi's
service, would bring the lime down to the middle of the
mouth of March, 1818, being that in which he sees receiv-
ed at the house of lord Stewart. His Lordship laud-
ed in Enland in July 1817. He conti 111 l ell in Ireland
and England till February 1818. It would be seen by a re-
ference to proceedings which took place in the Court of
Chancery, that he must have been In England in March 1818.
He did not leave England for some mouths subsequent to
Ibis, and be (Lord Elliaiburough) met Lord Stewart on the
Dover Hued its July 1818. It was threefore impossible fur
him to have been at Volitia at the time Strut-chi entered
into the service of bis family. Meoechi himself said that he
saw the secretary, lint he did not know s lieu he saw Lord
Stewart. In giving this caution against soy misunder-
standing of the mouton of that Nobleman, he meant to
convey not the slightest imputation on the ronduct of
Coluuel Uutinr, • lions he knew to be • Isl6oll honourable
min. Ile could not believe that it was uolwconang in a
public officer to secure the examination of evidence affecting
the dignity of the throne and the personal I we of she
Sovereign. He merely wished to contradict a slatenstut
which was as false as it was base.
The names were called live r.
The Lord Cis Ines Ilor lead a letter of apology from some
Nobleman, plaining of temporary indisposition.
The Fail of Liverpool thought that • temporary indispo-
sitiou fur a day or two ought out to br taken as an *pointy
for withholding. attendance altogether, especially now that
the evidence was printed.
Lord Erskine spoke.
Lord Grenville thought that there would be great diffi-
culty is foiling a Peer to give his verdict of guilty or nut
guilty upon evidence which he had not heard examined.
The Earl of Liverpool, Lord Grenville, aid Lord Erskine,
explained.
The Lurd Chancellor said, that he did nut see on what
grouuds it could be assumed Thal Peers were euaiprlable to
vote ; at the same time, he took it for greeted, that every
Peer would feel that be toted • duty to his country, mid
would tillieSVollf to discharge it according to she beat of
his ability. He thought that the evidence being in print, an
abseuce of a day or two could nuke very little lice in
