The Lord Chancellor nacre! the Hamm at ten unisette

before lees o'clock, and prayers were mail.
At lees o'clock Ilse omens were milled over.
The Earl of Dinky wished le know if any arses WA
been noes, lo prevent the witnesses who had been examined
from communicating wills those who had nut been cemented,
sa he nOtlPielercel some such regulations imlispestsable 10 161

fair coarse of justice.
The Counsel were then called in, and the luterpreter took
his station.
Vista:DP Bargiolu was pat to the bar and swore'.
Mr. Williams said, that before the wittiest, should be ex•-
miued, he wished to know their Lowehhips' decision oat a par.
titular pours which he was aimed tus submit. He did mot
wish to renew discussion on say subject already decided
upon by their Lordships, but be was ansi 0000 s to know Peon
their Lordship, if the pontl a hich he had to submit had been
decided by their Lordships in any other case ; in the case be-
fore the House it had nut breu mentioned, much less argued
upon. He would out attempt call up •ay question wherein
he found the larger body of authorities against him ; but he
apprehended that kis opinions were fortified by all known
precedes.* which were sited opus in determining such a
point. He was anxious to know if he might be allowed to
pat a questiou to the iwituess as to the importance of the
oath which he had taken in bindisgbisconscieuce. lie knew
Hint he had no right to inquire of a witness believing is the
existence of a God and • fissure state tespecting his belief.
Ile was perfectly ready to admit that—it could lie no ques-
tion—that bad been decided several times. But although that
was perfectly true, it was equally certain that every person
adduced in a Court of Justice as a witness, might to be
sworn according to that form or secramental ceremony
which would be the most bi•diag um his conscience.
It was not un slight grounds that be maintained that opiuion.
Their Lordships world find by she case of Ossichtsud end
Barker, in Cooper, and by cases which had occurred since,
in which that case was rift, red to, that such was the germ'
decision of the authorities. The (medium argued in- the
first case was, whether or out • person being nut •f the Ca-
tholic or any knows religion, not believing in the faith, but
being perfectly a heathen, could be admitted as a witneas,
or could be held responsible for his oath, if taken ac-
cording to the ordivary form. A lung disensaion look
place, and not elfin occasion it was determined by all
the Judges, and their decision was received as authority
in all subs. quent cases, that the person to be sworn should
be swore' by the ceremony must binding on his conscience,
accurdiug to his own acknowledgnient. [Here the Learned
Colonel recited the several opinions of the Judges.] Now,
suppose a Chinese to appear as $ witness, which ►ad since
ban the we; or, suppose • Mahometan to appear as a wit-
seas, which bad since been the case; if they had taken the
oath usually administered, and no further pledge had beds
required of them as to the bond of commie:nee, there
would in no respect be any binding obligation at all. The
oath would have been only good in form—in effect it would
have been useless. A Grimes might be sworn in a British
Court of Justice; it had been done. But the Court Refer-
ring to the deciaitm of the first case, required him to be
swots. by the ceremony which be considered the must bind-
ing ou his conscience.
The Lord Chancellor said, that there could be no doubt
as to the point of law. If • witness believed in no God, and
had no belief in a future slate, he could be nu waters'.
jir. Williams was ready to admit that, and he would ac-
that no such question could be put—but he maintained
that, supposing the witness to be a Roman Catholic, they
had • right to inquire of him, if in the form of sweariug
and of law in hie own country, there were not particular
forms or ceremonies which be deemed essential to the sanc-
tity and binding of as; oath. If there were such ceremonies,
and they were to be left out in swearing him, the witness
would be is the same condition as the Genius) or Mationeetan,
to whose' cases he had referred, supposing them to have
been sworn by the forms of the Christian Nib without
the bond which their own religion imposed for the anise
purpose. He wished to ask the witness if there were say
forms wanting in the oath which he had just taken which
would he used in his owe on a like oce.sion, and which he
deemed necessary to bindiug his conscience. lie did not
question the veracity of the witness, but lie wished to know
if he bad, in the language of the Judges to whose 'decision
be hail referred, been is most solemnly sworn, sad by that
ceremony which he admitted to be most binding on his con-
science."
Mr. Brougham referred to the case in Cooper which had
jost been adduced, and to a decision of Lord Mansfield, its
which he referred to that case. Lord Mansfield's words
were, .4 On I ' ciples of comment law no particular form is
necessary to the taking of all with j but as the purpose of an
oath is to bind the colleen lice of the witness, every man should
be sworn by that rum which be thinks will bind his cols.
science the most." A anurse hail been swoon at the Old
Bailey a few years ago : a saucer was held up before him,
and then broken in his presence, the priest, o► the witness,
he did out recollect a hich, pronouncing stone form of
words, aud the wittirss was considered as bring duly sworn.
:hippie ■n Englishman in China sworn by this foren—a
saucer held up riot broken before him, would it be cousi-
dered that because, out of respect to the forms of justice is
that country, or some usher motive of courtesy, he hail coo-
formed to their ceremony, that lie was therefore duly bound
the same as if he had sworn according to that sacrament and
those religious associations which the faith of his,cuuutry
11111106 ell on his mind?
The Lord Chancellor asked, if the Counsel would be so
good as to Winos the House what question it was which
they wished to be put.
Mr. Williams said, that the first question be would have
the witness to answer was, had he ever lweu called as a wit-
ness in a Court of Justice in his own country?
The Lord Chem:el:or said, Niel the question could not to
put.
Mr. Williams said the second question would be, had the
witness sere seen a witness examined in his own country;
and, tasty, were there not other ceremonies belittles dime
which be hail j•sst gone through, which he deemed necessary
to 'stake on oath booting on Inv commit-ace.
The Lout Chancellor said that the winless might be asked,
if he court& red the oath taken as binding on his conscience,
but hr could slut lie asked questions as to what was done in
Court+ of Justice in his onli country.
Lord Erskine said, that the runty question which mold be
put to the witness was, whether he considered the oath
which be had taken as an oasts binding use hie conscience.
Mr. Broughaut wished to corset their Lordships' unde►-
standing of the uhjection urged by the Counsel fur her Ms.
jesty—it was not whether the oath were birding on .the cos.
smote of the waitress, but if there were other forms besides
those by which he was then bound, which were used in his
own couutry, and whirl) be thought muse binding; or whee
thee be thought the oath whirl' be had takru was the most
binditig on his conscience.
Earl Grey wished it to be lefts' • question with the lodges,
whether or nut the Counsel could be allowed to ask a wit-
ness if there were say mode-of swearing more binding on
the conscience ore witness than the one administered to him.
I Lvrd Itcdcsdale slid, clash if such a quellieu were

Earl Grey made some tralliog elteratior in the statement ,
of his question.

leg which be might think more binding.
Lord Erskine made ■ few observations.
The of Liverpool soil the la.rd Chancellor amide tope
obeervations out audible below the bar.
The Earl of Darnley observed, that their Lordships bad It
day or Pro before nook as order to exclade soy permits from
being repent at the proceedings who might afterwards be
required to give evideoce and in cursequeoce of that
order Sir William Cell hail beets removed from the Homo.
He thought it highly desirable that some similar rule should
he adopted, to pervert contatunieirlion out atheism between
those who had been exonsiord at the Bar awl thole who had
not yet twee called or. It appeared to him highly immortals
that these two dames of venues should be kept separate.-.
He appealed to the Noble Lord opposite, whether the pro.
creoliogs spies* her Majesty onght nut to he cooducted
with every judicial form sad solcutaily ; and whether, in
order to that cod, the odwptio• of some rule, arch has he
hod suggested, was eel memeary. He now, theerfose,
begged leave he ask the Noble Lord whether ay somas had
been used fur that purpose'
Tie Earl of Liverpool replied, that it weg impossible to
prevent persons in the shawl.)r of the ulterior' from getting
together. Such persons naturally associated with ~soother;
all that the House could Jo iu the case was to direct the
parties to take core that the agents on each side should give
strong injunctions to the outwears iii the circumstances &-
see ibed by the Noble Lord, rot to kohl any couversatiou
hotelier.
The Earl of Winchilsea thought it advisable, fur the
purpose of enabliag the House to understated the relative
situ:ditties of the apartments and doors on board the ship,
that a small and correct sketch should be taken that day, moil
laid before the House as early as possible. Such a step
would trod very much to shorten the proceedings.
The Earl of Deviltry repeated his former inggestion, and
added, that be really thought that the slaters of Melrose.' ions
specified by the Noble Earl (Liverpool) was quite ludicrous.
- -

The Earl of Liverpool again urged the difficulties that
occurred in effecting the wishes of the Noble Earl. He
asked those Noble Lords whu had say experience of what
passed at country assizes, whether persons entailing frum
the 11:1111C places did ant usually resort to the same ions, and
lodge and euunnueieate together? These people also would
naturally frequent the same hotels, hurls out fur each usher,
and communicate together. The iiscouverierce therefore,
was uue that was unavoidable.

After some obeervatioos on this subject from the Earls of
Darnley, Essex, Liverpool, sad Harrowhy, the Earl of
Denary strongly enforced his former obeereelions, and con-
cluded by saying, in illustration of his object, that he
deemed it extremely desirable that Theodore Meucchi. who
had been examined at the bar, and Madame Minos*, who
was to be exassioed, should not be allowed to hold free inter-
course together.—(A laugh.)
'the proceedings were here suspended a eoeside►able time,
during the absence of the Judges; who had retired to de li-
berate upon the points urged by Counsel at the bar.
'the Lord Chancellor at length rose and proposed a Rrso-
lotion, which be had given notice us the former day, to
the fullowieg effect :
Resolved, That ill any prosecution which may he VMS.
weenced in any Court of law against soy witness or witnesses
who may have been mortared al ibis bar, fur ur against the
Bill of Pais. and Penalties sow under the coosidtration of
this House, touching soy testimony gives by soy such wit-
ness or wituesseertspectisig the said Bill—the House will not
interfere to prevent such prosecution, any privileges of Ibis
license notwithstarschug.
This Resolution was agreed to.
The Judges reignited to the Honer, sled the Lord Chief
Justice of the King's Bench delivered the imanintous opinion
of himself and his Learned Brethren on the points subloia-
ted to their consideration. He stated that fur the better
information of their Lordships, they bad sent fur and
examined books, and that the molt of their inquiry was
that the must correct and proper lime for proposing
questions of that mature was before the witnesses had
been sworn or examined ;_but biassed) as it might hap-
pen that the oath might be administered by the officer
of the Coast before such question had hero put, there-
fore they bad decided, that although the witness might have
previously taker the oath, he might yet be asked the ques-
tion, wlsether be considered such a form of oath binding
on his cousciruce, and if he answered in the affirmative,
that be should nut be further questioned, sjiether he ron-
side►ed any other mode of taking as oath more bindiwg.
His Lordship added, that his own opinion was, that if a
witness took an oath according to oar own forms, and said
on being questioned thereto, that he considered it as hind.
hug uu his conscience—that Ise thereby acknowledged its so-
lemn obligation, sod that be invoked the divine vengeance
on his head in case of disregarding it.—(llear, hear.)
The examination Hoar proceeded by the Solicitor-General.
Ask the witness whether he was master of a vessel skim-
minuted a polacre, and celled the Isdrstry? Yes.
Was be also the owner? Yes; but she is no longer called
the leduslry, but the Abram*, as she is now mink a

Yes; it was made at Messina.

pied that cubits nearest the dour so closed up ? Madame

Who occupied the cubic on the opposite side of the din-
iug-rvone, where the dour was left °peas ? Bergami.
After the door was closed, was there any means of going
into the dining room but through the door near &mm%
cabin? There was the ladder that came from the deck, sod
the door to Berg int./ rooms.
Will you ash the witness whether the ladder from the
dick came directly dowa to the ditties-footle ; or if.there was
a dour shutting on the bottom of the stairs ? It led directly
to the dinitig-eurna, hat at the top was a hatchway which at

Mr. Williams objected to this question being eo put, as
might lead the witness.
