F. FERGUSON CAMROUX, Sec

the Lord Chamberlain. Under this gallery, and
immediately below the bar, another smaller one
was erected, which afforded accommodation to
about sixty persons. On the left of the
Bar several benches were fitted up for the re-
porters for the public press, and we may take
this opportunity of expressing our acknowledg-
ments to the Lord Chamberlain (Lord Wil-
loughby De Eresby) for the courtesy with which
every arrangement, consistently with the limited
space, was made for our accommodation.
Immediately, in front of the throne a chair of
state was rovided for Lord Denman, who, in
the absence of the Lord Chancellor from indis-

position, acted as Lord High Steward.
At half-past nine the entrance to the House of
Lords, termed the Peers' entrance, was opened,
and in half an hour tl,;v body of the House was..
by 'Peers Lord Lyndhurst, Lord
Wynford, the Duke of Richmond, Lord
Brougham, Lord Monteagle, and Viscount Mel-
bourn6 were among the earliest arrivals.
Shortly after ten o'clock the Attorney-General
(with whom was Mr. Waddington) arrived and
took his place at the bar ; immediately on his
arrival Lord Lyndhurst went up to the bar and
was engaged in conversation with him for some
minutes. The eldest sons of Peers were accom-
modated with seats behind the throne. Among
the occupants of those seats, we observed Vis-
count Howick, the Hon, Thomas Denman, &c. &c.
Strangers, the greater part of whom were la-
lies, continued to arrive in quick succession, and
long before eleven o'clock every place was occu-
pied. The arrangements for affording ingress and
egress were admirably planned and executed,
and notwithstanding the crowded state of the
House no difficulty whatever was efperienced in
passing to and fro. Shortly after his arrival the
Attorney-General was joined by Mr. Wadding-
ton, the junior counsel for the prosecution.
Sir William Follett, with Mr. Wrangham and
Mr. Robinson, appeared as Counsel for the Earl

of Cardigan. -
The Solicitor-General was absent, we under-
stand, from indisposition.
The Judges, on their arrival, took their seats on
the cross benches in front of the chair, with the
exception of Lord Denman, the Lord High
Steward, and Lord Abinger, who took their seats
among the Peers upon the Barons' Bench. The
coup d'wil of the House was extremely pic-
turesque and magnificent, the Peers being all
robed, and those on whom the honour of knight-
hood, and other decorations, had been conferred,
wearing the collars of their respective orders.
The Peers all wore cocked hats in order to in-
sure uniformity in this respect a notice had been
posted in the lobbies of the House some days
since, reminding the Peers that it was contra
bonos mores to wear round hats with robes. The
ladies were all in full dress. Lady Cardigan was
one of the earliest arrivals, and took a seat on the
right of the bar, immediately adjoining that oc-
cupied by the Noble Earl. A great number of
the Corps Diplomatique were in the side galleries
in plain dress, and below the bar were several
Members of the House of Commons.
At a quarter before 11 o'clock the Lords'
Speaker (Lord Denman) having robed in his pri-
vate room, entered the House. A procession was
formed in the usual manner, his Lordship being
preceded by the Purse-bearer with the purse,
the Sergeant with the • mace, the Black Rod
earryi9g the,. Lord High Steward's staff, and
Garter carrying his smptre. -
Garter and Black Rod having taken their
places at the Bar, the Lord Speaker proceeded
to the Woolsack, where, being seated, prayers
were read by the Bishop of Lichfield.
The Clerk-Assistant of Parliament then pro-
ceeded to call over the Peers, beginning with
the janion Baron, Lord Sydenham.
Much amusement was excited in consequence
of several of the Peers who were present not an-
swering to their names when called, until re-
minded by some Noble Lord near them.
While the names were being called' over, his
Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge entered
the House. _ _
