Did you go to Carlsruhe with the Princess ?—Yes.
Did you go also to Nuremberg, Vienna, and Trieste ?

I went.,
Without asking you particularly as to the arrangement of
the bed-rooms of Bergami and the Princess at each of those
places, I wish to know whether they were muddy contiguous
to each other, and communicating with each other, or were
they at a distance?
The Interpreter—His answer means more near than far, or
more generally near than far. Your Lordships may take
which you like.—(Laughter.)
Mr. Brougham—l should submit to your Lordships-tint the
Interpreter, who executes his duty so properly, had better al-
ways translate the answers as literally as possible when they
have an ambiguous meaning.

other.

In consequence of your so telling him that the Princess

• Mr. Brougham objected to this question.
The Lord Chancellor was of opinion the question ought to
be " where did he go ?"
After that was communicated to him by the witness, where
did Bergami go to?
Witness was about to recite a conversation between himself
and Bergami, when Mr. Brougham interfered, and objected
to this as not being evidence.
1 hr Solicitor-General thought it might or might not be '
received.
Lord Erskine said, that it could have no-connection what-
ever with the case, if it. only proceeded from the mouth of
Bergami without the presence of the Queen.
The Lord Chancellor said, that it might he evidence. Bat
that it must be given on questions regularly put.
The Solicitor-General said, he would put the question
differently, so that the answer might be separated from the
conversat ion..

Royal Highness wanted him, where did he go ?—To his own
room.
After be had entered his own room, what did he do as to
the door of the room ?—Hi shut the door

Did you see the Princess below during that period I—l
did not.

while her Royal Highness and 'Bergami were in Greece ?--it

was put as follows :—)
Did witness remember Mahomet making any exhibitions
while the Princess was present ?—Yes, gutochi (tricks.)
Will witness describe what these
,rprochi were which were
performed in the presence of the Princess?
[Here the witness endeavoured to do so, by bending his
knees and sinking and rising in quick abet nations, putting np
his hands, and snapping his fingers all the while. He also
used sonie word as the name of this movement, which we
could not gather correctly, but which the interpreter was
going to explain, by saying that, in the East, this was a sort
of dance.)
(Here Mr. Brougham interrupted him, and the Interpre.
ter said he could not translate the word ; the examination
proceeded.)
Let witness describe the guecki from beginning to end, let
him describe all that Mahomet did.
(Witness accordingly repeated his imitations, which the
Interpreter said again be could not translate.—Mr. Brougham
observed, it was easily translated by the word curtesy—at
which several of their Lordships cried " No, no." flie In-
terpreter again addressed the House, and said, that as be
could not translate the motion of witness, he bad desired
