LIEU'T'ENANT HOWNANI.

The Earl of LAUDERDALE now inquired if,
Lieutenant Hownam was in attendance on the
House, when, being answered in the affirmative,
he moved that this witness should be called in,
sworn, and deposit his diploma of the New Or-
der of St. Caroline.
Lieut. Howl.;Am was Introduced in a few mi-
nutes to the Bar, and immediately sworn.
Mr. BROVGLIAM.—Q. Have you, Mr. How-
nam, got your diploma of the Order of St. Caro-
line in pursuance of an order of the House ?
lA. have.

Mere the witness• produced the Order, which
he held in his hand.
-The LOAD CuaNcELLon.Please 'to deliver
the Order in.
Witness then ,presented his Diploma of the
Order. .

Mr. Dna uomtm.—ls that instrument,. Mr,
IloWnam, under the Official Seal.Of the Order of
St, Caroline ?;---It is.

Vpon this the witness was ordered to with
draw from the Bar, and the Interpreter was di
reeled to translate the Document.

It appeared that the Order was instituted at
Jerusalem on the 12th of July, 1816, when the
Princess of Wales, being then in Jerusalem,
thought proper to create a new Order for recom-
pencing the fidelity of those faithful Knights
who had accompanied her in her pilgrimage to the
Holy Land.

Colonel Bartolorno Bergami, Baron and Knight
of Malta, and Knight of the Holy Sepulchre of
Jerusalem, and Equerry to her Royal Highness,
was appointed Grand Master ; and it was directed
that his children, both males and females, were
to succeed him iu his honours, and also to wear
the insignia of the order from generation to gene-
ration. This same advantage was granted
to another ' Knight of the Holy Sepulchre,
Mr. William Austin, and his legitimate children
were to enjoy it for ever. The next in
promotion was Mr. Joseph Hownam, a
Captain in the Royal English Navy, and in
the suite of her Royal Highness, to enjoy
the Order as personal to him, and at his death
to return the cross and patent to the Grand
Master. It is directed, by way of emi-
nence, as well as precedence, that the Grand
Master of the Order shall constantly wear
the cross around -his neck, but all the other
Knights are to exhibit the insignia from the
left hand button holes of their coats. The
above Order must consist of a Red Cross, with
the motto—" Honi soit qui mal y pense."—
This cross to. be suspended by a lilac rib-
bon, and the order to be called in the name
of St. Caroline of Jerusalem.
This, document is signed by the Princess's own
hand, in presence of i:►e subscribing witnesses.
It was expected that Mademoiselle Dumont
would.be examined by Mr. Brougham soon after
12. She alighted at the House from a hackney
coach about a quarter paste 11.
