no impropriety, where was the necessity for this
caution, unless there were some suspicion lurking
in his mind that the intimacy which, subsisted-be-
tween his Royal Mistress and Bergami was of a
nature to excite attention ? There must have ex-
isted some. indications in the manners of Bergami
to excite this suspicion ;, for even at that time'tise
had been distinguished by noid Laudaff. And
how was it that Bergami attracted the notice of
the Noble Earl, or of Mr. Craven in the garden,
unless something had come to his own knowledge
respecting the occurrence at the Theatre of San
Carlos, or from -the common rumours which the
conduct of her Royal Highness had excited in the
neighbourhood ? The Learned Counsel next ad-
verted-to the evidence of Majocci,applying to the
time when Bergami was confined to his bed from
the kick of a horse, and when that witness de-
scribed the stolen interviews of her-Royal High-
ness at that time to the room of the invalid. On
this subject it had been said that there was ano-
ther passage by which her Royal Highness
might have obtained access to Bergami's room
without going through the Cabinet in which
Majocci was placed. But how did this stand ?
Was not that other passage the common cor-
ridor into which the doors of Dr. Holland, Hie-
ronymus, and William Austin opened ; and
was there not a much greater chance of her
being observed there than by passing through the
room of a man who had been placed in the house
by Bergami himself ? Whether an adulterous
intercourse took place at that time or not, was
immaterial to his case—because no woman of de-
licacy, who had not had such an intercourse with a
man, would have gone and visited him in hisbed,
and remained shut up with him in his room for a
quarter of an hour. The evidence of MajocCi, in
this respect, was decisive, that an adulterous in-
tercourse had taken place between her Royal
Highness and Bergami. As to the fact of her
Royal Highness having been in the room at the
same time with Dr. Rolland, it would be recol-
lected that Dr. Holland, who had been call-
ed to contradict that fact, (page 618), had not
sworn positively to the contrary, simply saying,
that if the circumstance had taken place, it was
without his knowledge. They had the positive
testimony of Majocci on one hand, and the equi-
vocal testimony of _Dr. Holland on the other ;
. and as it appeared that her Majesey was in the
habit of visiting her servants, the probability was
that she did so on this occasion, as Alajocci had
sworn. If the rest of the case were true, it was
perfectly probable that her Royal Highness was
on that occasion so far carried away by her pas-
sion as to be induced to visit Bergami. He be-
lieved he had now gone through the whole of the
facts which had occurred at Naples, and answer-
ed, to the best of his ability, the comments made
on that part of the case by his Learned Friends.
At Naples it was, that by an extraordinary coin-
cidence it happened that all her Royal Highness's
English suite left her, except Sir W. Gell. From
Naples her Royal Highness went to Civita Vec-
chia, and from thence toGenoa, and here he would
call their Lordships' attention to the evidence
of Lady C. Lindsay, with respect to what took
place on the journey from' Rome to Civita Vec-
chia. It was said yesterday by Dr. Lashington,
that all the facts of improper familiarity which
had been alleged against her Majesty had fallen
at their feet. When his Learned Friend said so
he had forgotten what Lady Charlotte Lindsay
has said in her cross-examination, at pages 519
and 5'20. You will find that at Naples Bergami
was selected by her Royal Highness to wait
upon her in her house and iu her walks. Those
who had previously performed the dirties of wait-
ing upon her, were dismissed from that particu-
lar service, and if the Princess dines in her bed-
room with Lady Charlotte Lindsay—if the Prin-
cess walks in the garden with Lady Charlotte
Lindsay—extraordinary as it may appear, Ber-
ganii attends her. Her courier, whose conduct
she could have had no such opportunity of ob-
serving, as to ascertain whether she could pro-
perly substitute another for him, was her con-
stant attendant. When asked about the fact, that
Bergami rode up to the carriage, and ad-
dressed the Queen with the expression a boire,
Lady Charlotte Lindsay avoids the direct
question, and says she believed Bergami
did not come until called by her Royal High-
ness ; but she had no reason for .thinking so,
but that it was more natural that he should wait
till he received the order. Her Ladyship
has,, on this occasion, given proof of that sort of
tenderness of recollection which has been
ascribed to Theodore Majocci; but she recollects
Bergami getting the bottle out of the carriage
from her Royal Highness, who was there. •I ask,
is not this an improper liberty ? Did any other
of the suite ride up to the carriage under such
circumstances ? No, it was Bergami alone that
approached the carriage with such familiarity ;
and he never could have presumed to do so, if he
had not considered himself entitled to use little
ceremony, in consideration of the criminal inti-
macy that existed. Their Lordships would con-
sider that this fact was spoken to by a reluctant
witness—by Lady Charlotte Lindsay—the only
English Lady that remained in the Princess's
suite ; in fact the only Lady of any nation who
had not disappeared from the service—the only
Lady who been. called to advocate the character
of her Royal Highness, for the 24 days that she
was under the controul of the Illustrious De-
fendant, and who had at the conclusion of that
period withdrawn from the service at the instance
of brother, in consequence of reports preju-
dicial to her Majesty. It has, my Lords, said
the Learned Gentleman, been said by Mr.
Brougham rand Mr. Denman, that nothing was
more natural, than that Bergami should intro-
duee his relations and friends to a service with
which he had himself ,so much cause to be sa-
tisfied. Your Lordships will recollect how Mr.
:llowriam drew back when he was questioned
,as to Faustina and the child Victorine. It was
.after some hesitation that he said they were in the
family. This introduction, it will be recollected,
k had riot taken place after the attack upon- her
Ifighne- ssii,..hou;e it Genoa, .upon which
occasion, "by 114 bye, Majocci hid performed the
