:elsad was born in Brownlpw-street. I never sax the'
woman to my knowledge before she came-with the
petition to the door. I no particular directims
by the Princess to procure a child ; I thought it lit•
ter to take the child of persons of good ehaeactet
than the child of, a pauper. Nothing led me, from
the appearance of the Princess, to suppose that she
was with child, but from her shape it is difficult to
judge when she is with child. When she was with ,
child of the Princeis Charlotte, I should not. have
known it when she was far advanced in her time, if
I bad not been told it.
'6 Sir Sydney Smith, at one trine, visited very fre-
quently at Mortagoe House, two or three times a
week. At the timo the Princess was altering her
room in the Turkish style, Sir Sydney Smith's visits
were very frequent. The Princess consulted him
upon them. Mr. Morell was the upholsterer; Sir
Sydney Smith came frequently alone. He staid alone
with the Princess sometimes till eleven o'clock at,
night. He has been there till twelve o'clock, and
after. I believe, alone with the Princess. The Plin-
cess is of that lively vivacity, that she makes herself
familiar with Gentlemen, which prevented my being
struck with his staying so late. Ido not believe that
at that time any other Gentleman visited the Princess
so frequently and stayed so late. I have seen the
Princess, when they were alone, sitting with Sir Syd-
ney Smith on the same sofa, in the blue-room. I had
access wthe blue-room at all times ; there was an
inner room which opened into the blue-room. When
that room was not lighted up I did not go into it, I
did not consider that I had a right to go into it. I
had no idea on what account I was brought here. I
did not know that the Princess's conduct was ques-
tioned, or questionable.
64 I was with the Princess at Ramsgate ; whenshe
was at East Cliff, Captain Manby was very frequently
there : went away as late at night as eleven o'clock.
Ido not remember Fanny Lloyd being called up
any morning to make breakfast for the Princess. I
did net like Captain Manby's coming so often and
staying so late, and I was uneaty at it. I remember
a piece of plate, a silver lamp, being sent to Capt.
Manby ; I saw it in Sicard's possession ; he told me
it was for Capt. Manby, and he had a letter to send
with it. I have never seen Capt. Manhy at the Prin-
cess's, at Ramsgate, before nine o'clock in the morn-
ing, but 1 have heard he has been there earlier. I
had never any suspicion of there being any thing im-
proper, either from the frequent visits of Captain
Manhy, or from his conduct. I was at Cartherington
with the Princess; she used to go out generally in
her own chaise.
44 I think I have once or twice seen her go out
with Mr. Hood, in his one horse chaise ; they have
been out for two hours, or two hours and a half, to-
gether. I believe only a day or two elapsed between
the time of the child being first brought and being
then brought again, and left with the Princess. I am
sure the child was not weaned after it had been first
brought. Ido not recollect aey Gentleman ever
sleeping in the House. Ido not remember Law-
rence, the painter, ever sleeping there. The Princess
seems very fond of the child is always called

TIM DEPOSITION OF JOHN SICARD.
eg I have lived seven years with the Princess of
Wales, am House-steward, and have been in that
situation from the end of six months after I first lived
with her Royal Highness. I remember the child
who is now with the Princess of Wales being brought
there ; it was about five months old when it was
brought, it is about four years ago, just before we
went to Ramsgate. I had not the least suspicion of
the object of my being brought here.
go I had opportunity of seeing the Princess fre,
quently ; waited on her at dinner and supper ; J
never observed that the Princess had the appearance
of being with child : I think it was hardly possiW
that she should have been with child without my per-
ceiving it. §it Sidney Smith used to visit very fre-
quently at Montague House, in 1802, with Sir John
and Lady Douglas. He was very often, I believe,
alone with the Princess, and so was Mr. Canning and
other Gentlemen, I cannot say that I ever suspected
Sir S. Smith of any improper conduct with the Princess.
—I never had any suspicion of the Princess acting
improperly with Sir Sidney Smith, or any other
Gentleman. I remember Captain Manby visiting
at Montague House. The Princess of Wales did not
pay for the expence of fitting up his cabin, but the
linen furniture was ordered by me by direction of the
Princess, of Newberry and Jones. It was put by
Newberry and Jones in the Princess's bill, and was
pad for with the rest of the bills by Miss Heyman.

THE DEPOSITIDIf OR CHARLOTTE SANDER.
" I have lived with the Princess of Wales eleven
years. lam a native ontrunswick, and came with
the Princess from Brunswick. The Princess has had
a little boy living with her under her protection ; he
had a mark on his hand, but it is worn off ; I first
saw him four years ago, in the Autumn. The fa-
ther and mother of the child are still alive. I have
seen them both. The father worked in the Dock,
yard at Deptford, but has now lost the use of his
limbs ; the father's name is Austin. The int.ther
brought the child to the Princess when he was, lOW
months old; I was present when the child was
brought to the Princess • she was in her own room
up stairs, when the child was brought ; she came
out and took the child herself. I understood
that the child was expected before it was brought.
—1 am sure that I never saw the child in the
house before it appeared to be tour months old.
66 The Princess was not ill or indisposed in the
autumn of 1802. I was dresser to her Royal High-
ness; she could not be ill or indisposed without my
knowing it. lam sure that she was rot confined to
her room, or to her bed in that autumn ;—,shere was
[ not, to my knowledge, any other child in the house ;
it wai hardly possible there could have ben a child
there withdut my knowing it. I have no retolle:tion
that the Princess had grown bigger in the year 1802
than usual; I am sure the Princess was not prjgnant;
