WALES.

MajityrT,
en graciously pleased by
.ajesty's Royal Sign Ma-
annexed to this Report, to
direct es to enquire into
Declarations, touching
Highness the Princess of
Wales; an Abstract of which had been laid before
your Majesty, and to examine upon Oat such per-
sons as we should see fit, touching and concerning
the same, and to report to your Majesty the result of
such Examination e we have, In dutiful obedience to
your Majesty's commands, proceeded to examine the
several Witnesses, the Cies of whose Depositions
we hafe hereunto annexe; and in further execution
of the said commands, we now most respectfully sub-
mit to your Majesty the Report of these Examina-
tions as it hasappeared to as. But we beg leave at the
lame time humbly to refer year Majesty for more
complete information, to the examiaaticms themselves,
in order to correct any error of judgment into which
we may have unintentionally fallen, with respect to
any part of this business.
‘,. On a reference to the above mentioned Decla-
rations as the necessary foundation of all our pro-
ceedings, we found that they consisted in certain
statements which had been laid before .his Royal
Highness the Pride of Wales., respecting the conduct
of her Royal Highness the Princess of Wales ; that
these Statements, not only imputed to her Royal
,Highness great impropriety, and indecency of beha-
viour, but expressly asserted, partly on the ground of
'certain alleged declarations from the Princess's own
Inoath, and partly on the personal observations of
the informants, the following most important facts,
viz.—That her Royal Highness had been pregnant
in the yearlBo2, in consequence of an illicit inter-
course, and that she had in the same year been se-
cretly delivered of a male child, which child had ever
since that period been brought up by her Royal
. Highness in her own house, and under her imme-
diate inspection.
6, These allegations thus made, had, as we found,
been followed by declarations from other persons,
who had not indeed spoken to the important facts of
the pregnancy or delivery of her Royal Highness,
but had stated other particulars in. themselves ex-
tremely suspicious, and still more so when connected
with the assertions already mentioned. In the pain-
ful situation, in which his Royal Highness was placed
by these communications, we leak= that his Royal
Highness had adopted the only course which could,
in our judgment, with propriety be followed, when
informations such as these bad been thus confidently
alleged, and particularly detailed, and had been in
some degree supported by collateral evidence, ap.
plying to other points of the same MUTE (though
going to a far less extent) one line could only be pur-
sued. Every sentiment of duty to your Majesty and
of cercern for the public welfare, required that these
' particulars should not be withheld from your Ma.
' zesty, to whom more particularly belonged the cog-
=once of a matter of State, so nearly touching the
'honour of your Majesty's Royal Family, and by poen-
Mktg effecting the Sams:ion e your Majetter Crown.
Your Majesty had been pleased on your part to view
the subject in the. same light. Considering it as a
matter which in every respect demanded we most
immediate investigation, your Majesty bad thought
fit to commit into our hands the duty of ascertaining
in the first instance, what degree ot credit was due
to the informations, and thereby enabling your Ma-
jesty to decide what further conduct to adopt con-
cerning them.
~ On this review, therefore, of the matters thus
alleged, and of the course hitherto pursued upon
them, we deemed it proper, in the first place, to exa-
mine those persons in whose declarations the occasion
for this inquiry had originated ; because, if' they, on
being examined on oath, had retracted or varied their
assertions, all necessity of further investigation might
possibly have been precluded. We accordingly first
examined on oath the principal informants, Sir John
Douglas and Charlotte his Wife, who both positively
swore, the former to his having observed the fact of
the pregnancy of her Royal Highness, and the latter
to all the important particulars contathed in her for-
mer declaration, and above referred to. Their exa-
minations are annexed to this Repent, and are circum-
stantial and positive. _The most materi..l of these al-
legations, into the truth of which we have been di.
rected to inquire, being thus far supported by the oath
of the parties from whom they had proceeded, we then
felt it to be our duty to follow up the inquiry, by the
examination of such other persons as we judged best
able to afford us information as to the facts in ques-
tion. We thought it beyond all doubt, that in the
course of inquiry, many particulars must be learnt
which would be necessarily oonclusive en the truth
or falsehood of these declarations, so many persons
must have been witnesses to the appearance of an ac-
tual existing pregnancy ; so many circumstances must
have been attendant upon a real delivery, and difficul-
ties so numerous and itsiirmountahle must have been
involved, in any attempt to account for the infant in
question, as the child of another woman, if it had
been in fact the child of the Princess, that we enter-
tained a full and confident expectation of arriving at
complete proof, either in the affirmative or negative,
on this part ot the subject.
66 This expectation was not disappointed. Vie are
happy to declare our perfect conviction that there is
no foundation whatever for believing that the child
now with the Princess of Wales is the child of her
Royal Highness, or that she was delivered of any
child in the year 1802; nor has any thing appeared
to us which would warrant the belief that she was
pregnant in that year or at any other period within
the compass of our inquiries. The identity of the
child now with the Princess—its parents, age, the
place and date of its birth, the. time and circum-
stance of its being first taken under herßoyal High.
ness's protection, are all established, by such a con-
currence both of positive and circumstantial evidence

- -- - - _
is essjs sus judgment Lave se qttOdiale dale ant
of the Allied; That child was, beleia all doubt,
born hi Brositiow-sestet Hospital, on the I Ith day
of July, 1802, of the body of Sophia Austin, and
was fiat brought to the•Princeft's house in the month 1
of November followipg. • Neither should we be more
warran3ed in expressing any doubt respecting the al-
leged pregnancy of the Princess, at stated in the.origi-
bal Declaration, a fact so fully contridieted,atid by so
many witnesses, to whom, if true, it must, in various
ways be known, that we cannot think it entitled so
the smallest credit. .
44 The testimonies on these two points are um•
tamed in the annexed Deposition and Letters. WI
have not partially abstracted them in this Report,
lest by any unintentional omission we might weaken
their effect; but we humbly offer to your Majesty
this our clear and unanimous judgment upon them,
formed upon full deliberation, and pronounced with-
out hesitation, on the result of the 'Whole inquiry.—
We do not, however, feel ourselves at liberty, much
as we should wish it, to close our Report here. Be-
sides the allegation of the prerancy and delivery of
the Princess, those Declarations, on the whole of
which your Majesty has been pleased to command
us to enquire and report, contain, as we have already
remarked, other particulars respecting the conduct
`of
her Royal Highness, such as must, especially con-
sidering her exalted rank and station, necessarily
give occasion to very unfavourable interpretations.-'
From the various depositions and proots annexed to
this Report, particularly from the examinations of
Robert Bidgood, William Cole, Francis Lloyd, and
Mr. Lisle, your Majesty will perceive that several
strong circumstances of this description have been
positively sworn to by witnesses who cannot, in our
judgment, be suspected of any unfavourable bias,
and whose veracity in this respect we have seen no
ground to question.
44 Oa the precise beating and effect of the facts
thus appearing, it is not for us to decide; these we
submit to your Majesty's wisdom. But we conceive
it to be our duty to report on this part of the Inqlii-
ry, as distinctly as on the former facts ,• that as on
the one band the facts of pregnancy and delivery arc
to our minds satisfactorily disproved, so on the other
hand, we think that the circumstances to which we
now refer, particularly those stated to have passed
between her Royal Highness and Captain Manby,
must be credited, until they shall receive some deci-
sive contradiction ; and if true, are entitled to the
most serious consideration.
~ We cannot close this Report without humbly as.'
suring your Majesty, that it was on every account
our anxious wish to have executed this delicate trust
with as little publicity as the nature of the case would
possibly allow; and we entreat your Majesty's per-
mission to express our full persuasion, that if this
wish has been disappointed, the facture is not impu-
fable to any thing unnecessarily said or done by us;
all which is most humbly submitted to your Majesty.

The following is the Message from the KING to
the PRINCESS, advising her'•that the then existing
Ministry, the old Opposition, perfectly agreed in the
acquittal pronounced by the four Commissioners, as
to any actual criminality; and intimating, that her
Royal Highness would thenceforth be received at
Court. A question here naturally arising, to what
cause it was owing that the Princess of WALES 1881
prevented from thus appearing ? we are enabled to
solve this doubt by the production of the following
documents :
" Windsor Castle, Jan. 99, 1807.
" The KING has this moment received the Princess
of WALrS'S letter, in which she intimates her inten.
tion of coming to Windsor on Monday neo ; and his
MAJESTY wishing not to put the PRINCRSS to the in-
convenience of coming to this place, so immediately
after her illness, hastens to acquaint her, that lie
shall prefer to receive her in London upon a day sub-
sequent to the ensuing week ; which will 8160 batter
suit his MAJESTY, and of which be will not fail to
apprise the PRINCESS.
(Signed)
" To the Princess of WALES."

•t As the. Princess of WALES may have been led to
expect, from the KING'S letter to her, bat he would
fix an early day for seeing her, his MAJESTY thinks
it right to acquaint her; that the Prince of WALE%
upon receiving the several documents >s Kith the KING
directed his Cabinet to transmit to him, made a for-•
mal communication to him, of his intention to put
them into the hands of his Lawyers ; accompanied
by a request, that his MAJESTY would suspend any
further steps in the business, until the Prince of W.tues
should be enabled to submit to him the statement
which be proposed to make. The KING, therefore,
considers it incumbent on him to defer naming a
day to the Princess of Wauts, until the farther re-
sult of the PRINCE'S intention shall have been made
known to him. (Signed) •" GEORGE it.."
