Some interruption occurring about the translation of the an-
swer,

The fluke of Hamilton regretted that they had not a more
correct Interpreter.
The Solicitor General said, they had only differed about one
word.

Mr. Brougham attempted to speak, but was prevented by cries
of Order.

Lord Harrowby observed, that there was no deficiency in
intelligence; that the sense had been given; but that the Inter-
preter
failed in sonic instances in his knowledge of the idiom of ,
our language.
Earl Grey complimented the abilities of the Interpreter; but
he had to translate two languages, neither of which was his native
tongue. There ought to be another Interpreter for the French
witness. ( I lear.)
The Duke of Hamilton bore testimony to die excellency of
the Italiar. translations; he only complained of those from the
French. (Ilear)

fallen from the Counsel on the other side, (hear!) he had not
complained of the Interpreter, and he was willing to go on with
him to day. (Cries of "Go on.")
