PARLIAMENT,

HOUSE OF kORIJS-SATURDAY.

CONCLUSION OF THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL'S

REPLY.

So far was he from accounting for the manner
iu•which.her Royal Highness spent the whole of
her time .at Carlsrhue, that he left a blank as
great as could be expected in the course of six
days.; and to fill up thiS, Vassal' was called. At
page 934, in his examination in chief, it will be
foupd that he recollected the precise day at
which her Royal Highness arrived at..Carlsrlw,
and-many other circumstances ; and I call upon
your Lordships pairticularly to observe that, and
to cohtrast his excellent memory in the first in-
stance, with the failure -1 his recollection on
cross-examination. At Carlsrhue his memory is
$o accurate, that he knows the day on which her
Royal Highness arrived, and every thing that
happened on the follmving days, yet afterwards
lie cannot recollect where they went to?from Nu-
remburg, nor what .they &chit Munich. But at
Qarlsruhe it'will be seen from the evidence, he
cwild.recollect every thing he was asked.

t/o you rememher where you dined on. the day of your
an ?—A. I recollect that perfectly.
Where was it.?—At the Margravine's.
• Was the Princess there ?—Yes.
And: Pcrgatni ?—Yes.—Madame Oldi ?—Yes.
, Where did you sup on the first day?—rAt the Grand Dulles.
Do you retnember whether Baron d'Ende was the Cham-
berlain of the Grand Duke ?—I remember it perfectly.
Do you remember Miele you dined the secund day?—At the
Grand DOC,.

' Did her Royal Highness dine there ?—Yes.
Did Bergami .dine there
rind the Countess Oldi ?—Yes.
Did llergaini and the Countess remain there the whole al
ternfitm o.•

What did they do ?—Bergaml complained- of the headache,
and caused his sitter to accompany him to the Inn. -
Now, my Lords I call your attention to what
follows :
Q. Did her Royal Highness leave the Grand Duke's at that
time ?—A. She remained with the Grand Duchess.
Did you remain ?—I
Did you come away with the Princess ?—Yes.
At what hour ?—Late in the evening.
On the 3rd day where did you dine ?—At• the Margrarine's
Now,my Lords, according to Lieutenant How,
narn, her Royal Highness dined but once a
the Margravines, but Vassali makes it out
that she dined twice there. The examination
proceeded
Q. On the fourth day did you remain at Carlsrhue, or pro-
aily where else ?—A. We went to Baden.

Where did:you dine?—At the inn.
A! Baden ? At Baden.
On t he (lay you went to Baden, where did you and the suite
of ltoyal iii).;liness dine ?—At the Margraviue's..
T his, my, Lords, makes three days that they
dined at the Margravine's, and it appears that on
the following day they again dined at the Mar-
Iravine's, from the examination of this witness.

Q: The following day when you dined ut the Margracine's,
in what nianner did you spend the afternoon ?--;-A. In amuse-
ments—in society._

Where was that'-At the Margravine's.
About %hat time did you return to the inn that night ?
Abuut ten v'elut:k. •

Have' the go4ncis to mention what you did on the follow,
i.n day?--On the following day I believe we dined at the
Grand Duke's; in the evening we set out, after taking some
refreshment at home.
Now, my Lards, I cannot but think ihat your
Lordships ought to look with great suspicion to the
evidence of:this witness. I cannot help thinking
that he had seen the evidence of Barbara Krantz,
.arid that his memory‘ must have been yefreshed
with respect to what happened at Carlsrhue more
than on any other part of the journey. On,his
cross-examination he could riot recollect one tin-
gle circumstance of where her Royal Highness
dined at Munich or Nuremherg, nor even the
place to which they ivent when they left Nu-
: retnberg. The questions put and the answers
given on his cross-examination were these :-L-
-54. You have said that you accompanied her Royal Highness
to-Munich, and that Bergatni dined thcie at the King's
table.; did lie dine there more than once ?—A. Yes.

How otter) ?-1 cannot. precisely say. -
How long was her Royal 'Highness at Munich ?-1 believe
between tern and fifteen days; 1 do not know precisely.
Wlivre; did she dine the first day when she arrived at Mu-
pleb ?-1 believe at the inn.

.Vl'here did she dine the second day ?—I think with the

King.
Where was she on the evening of the second day ?---Pdo
not know.
Where did she dine the third t!ay at Munich cannot
mention precisely where we, dined every day.
Where did she spend the third evening. At Munich ?—The
third day I do.not know.
Where did she dine on the fourth day at Munich I—l have
said that I cannot fix precisely where she dined every day.
in re did she pass the evening of the fourth day at Mu-
nich I—Some evenings we spent at the King's. Some even-
ings at the Prince Beanharnoise ; but I do not know which
cacti evening. Ido not know how to fix how we passed each
evening precisely.
Do you remember how many tidies you dined with the King
at Munich ?—With the King I believe twice, and at the
state table of the King I believe two or three times, or there-
abouts.
Where did you go from Munich I—l believe, but I cannot
piecisyly say, to Nuremberg.
Hew long did you stay at Nuremberg ?—f believe two days.
Where did you go from Nuremberg ?—I do not remember.
You do not !member to what place you went from Nurem-
berg I—Precisely, Ito; I cannot tell.
Hbw long were you upon that tour ?—I should suppose
three months, or thereabouts.
Here, your Lordships will-see, Vassali cannot
recollect any thing precisely, but then we get to
Carlsrhue again, and his lutmory becomes as
accurate as ever, and then whed he is asked—
", What makes you remember so precisely where
you dined every day when you were at Carlsrhue
and you cannot recollect where you dined at
Munich ?" When he is asked this question, I say,
his answer is—" A man may remember one
thing and may not -remember another, without
being able to assign any cause."—l remember my
Learned Friend, in his admirable speech, argued.
that nothing was so natural 'es that Vassali should
remember what he had sworn to at Carlsrhue.
-0 ! nothing could be more natural. His dining
at the table of the Margravine Was a dremt,
stance that might be expected to impress itself on
the mind of a man like Vassali. But, my Lords,
it unfortunately happens, that when he dines with
the King of Bavaria, a circumstance equally im-
yortant-in the annals of such. a person—then, 0
unfortunate memory of Vassali—then he cannot
tell any thing of the matter, though he could
recollect the most minute- circumstances con-
nected with his dining with the Grand Duke and.
'the Margravine at Carlsrhue. When contra-
s like these occur, I cannot but think the
'Witness is, justly liable to suspicion. He was
asked—

,kium far is the WI/ of .Garlsruhe from the Grand Duke's
