THE QUEEN.

This morlling the Loin) CIIINELLOR entere'd
the House at five minutes before, ten, after which
prayers were read by t4e Bishop of Bitts'for., and
the usual call was proceeded with. At twenty
minutes past ten Counsel were ca' led in, when the
Lord Chief Justice of the King's Bench informed
the House, that his Learned Brotherswere agreed
with himself as to the two first questions which
had yesterday been proposed to them, but that
they wished to consult further with respect to
the 3d question.
Lord ERSKINE, as far as we could collect from
the inaudible manner in Which he .spoke was
"suppos,4l to desire that the Learned Judges
might be requested to answer the two first ques-
tions now, while deferring their answer to the
third.

The Lottn kNCELLOU thought the questions
so connected in their results, that it would not be
desirable for the J adzes to give their opinions on
the two first till their minds weremade up on the
third. •

Lord ERsx-ixE was still desirous that the an-
swers to the two first questions should be receiv-
ed at the present time.
The Lofin CII:NCE'LCOR observed here, that
none :of the windows of the House wert open,
and he directed the officers to open them. He
then stated, with reference to what had fallen from
the Noble and Learned Lord,' that he still con-
sidered it inexpedient to haie the answers to the
-two first questions, till the Learned Judges, were
quite prepared to deliver in their answers to the
third ; atrd the reason which induced him to en-
tertain this opinion was, that he apprehended
that there might be some connexion between all
the three questions in answering them. He would
acknowledge, that vte-re. lie called to answer
them, he should feel it better to dispose of all at
one time, as the two first questiois Would pro-
bably be connected with the third.

.A.bOuf halfpast -ten o'clock, the Learned
Judges retired. to consult.--Lin the interval,
Lord KF.NYON enibraced this opportunity of
submitting the propriety of again calling Gran-
ville Sharpe, he being in attendance, as he wished
to correct that part of his evidence relative to the
Bishop of Calcutta witnessing a certain dance in
India, as he had since understood that that Pre-
late was not present at the dance. The Prelate
was said to be' now •in town, and night be. called,
if proper,lo the bar. • •
The LORD CHANCELLOR then put the ques-
tion, after which, •

Mr. GRANVILLE SHARPE was Ca:lled Ia and
stood at the bar.

'the-LORD CHANCELLdrt.stated, that the‘q-Idase were
informed that be (Mr. Sharpy) wished to correct his forther

evidence.

SUARPE replied that he had, on the inspection of a
private nternorandutu tuade at the time of the dance, found
that he was rather mistaken in having said the. Bishop of Cal-

cutta was present.
The LORD CHANCELLOR asked :lint if he had now cause
to suppose he'might have been wrong :it the moment Mr.
Sharpe replied that he had not,. for he had a strong impres-
sion on his mind that the Bishop was there, but the written
document was more certain.

The LORD CIJANCELLORAvas afraid the evidence woult

not prove 'either-the presence or absence of the Bishop.
After a few words from Earl GREY, and a remarls or two
from the LORD CuaNcett.ox, the witness wasottlered to with-
draw.

IMIOUGRAM then put in two letters, which he bad
alluded to in his opening speech, one dated April, 1796, and
the other Novemhee, 1304, both written' by his late Majesty
from Windsor Castle, to the Princess of Vales.

Some'question here arose as to the authenticity of the let-
ters as being the hand• writing of the King; when
Lord LIVERPOOL offered to be sworn on the subject.—
His Lordship beit.i sworn, declared the letters to be it► his
late Majesty's hand-writing.
A witness was now pressented to be sworn. when the LORD
CHANCELLOR said, that as the Queen's Counsel had re-
tired, both ►ides should he present when a witness was sworn.
Mr. SAMUEL INDIAN, of the Navy Office, was then sworn,
He produced a number of certificates as to the !Service of %Vil-
ham Carrington in the N,ivy on board the Poictiers. The
certificates were taken from the ship's books.
