Friend ? It could not be said that Sacchi was.„,4l
deserving. of credit, while his testimony reinin;lr,
uncontradicted. His Learned' • Friend/ of.

his name, which he said was in consequence o`tid
riot at Dover, although it was found that 1I aft
changed it I.2;months before But it wonla
pear from the evidence, that he did not allud'itle
the Dover- riot when he gave the answer t°

said he took a new name, in consequence of oet
'tumults and the danger he should incur. Them
was, he came over as Milani,. and changed ici,
name afterwards in consequence of the riot

happened at Dover. . But now for the evidler
itself. Sacchi states that he was a courier to .t;
Royal Highness, and_ travelled in that caPclss,
from Rome to Senegaglia. He is hardly Cr°,,
examined on that point, although he was cross-e)
mined at great length as to his- former situatioo:
to his change of name, and other unitive: ;0
circumstances. • With regard to the journey fr, $
Rome to Senegaglia, Sacchi is, left withoPor,

the Counsel would then have supposed that t°oo
was some intention to contradict him; but
not being the case, no one expected it wow,, ei

travelled in the same carriage with the Princess, althotig.Oula
