Lord ERSKINE—When a witness states he has no distinct
memory on a subject without referring to a memorandum, I
do not approve of an endeavour to press on his memory, that
which be says be cannot recollect.
The SOLICITOR-GENERAL said, the memorandum the
witness wished to produce, was the copy of a journal or log,
not made during the voyage, but during a subsequent voyage.
He should therefore submit it could not be introduced.
The LORD CHANCELLOR intituated,that if the objection
was taken, Counsel must be heard on both sides.
The Earl of. LIVERPOOL stated, that the impression upon
his mind was, that the memorandum was made in the voyage
from Jaffa to Sicily. If it was a memorandum made several
months after the transactions to which it referred, perhaps lie
had no right to produce it.
The Marquess of LANSDOWN considered the witness
ought to be allowed to refresh his memory.
The Earl of HARROWIIY expressed an opinion that the
memorandum could nut be received as evidence.
Earl GREY said a few words in support of the observations
made by Lord Erskine.
Mr. 61.7 RN EY then read the pi eceding questions and answers
of the witness.
The LORD CHANCELLOR said, my Lords, I think it will
be proper to call the witness back, and I will ask him where
he made the original memoranda ; when and where he made
the copies; and whether they are true copies of the originals.
The witness was accordingly recalled and examined by his
Lordship.

A. On board the vessel I commanded, as we sailed from Mes-
sina to Catania.

pers ?—During the same voyage.
