, numb itrengthen the evidence regarding the polacca, and for
, this purpose only he touched upon it. Here Bergami and the
Queen were alto under the tent. Here she bad no need of pro-
tection, because in the outer taw were two of her servants, and
*he idea, If necessary. as well as Bergami have slept in the
*intent. He did not impute, even as a matter of inference,
that idultery did take place on those two days at Aunt ; be
only mentioned it to show the puiral system of cohabitation, al-
though the crime might there have been completed. He would
endeavour to confute his remarks to a moderate compass, and
would touch merely on those parts of the case that bad not been
attached on the other side. As to the Theatre San Carlos it
was not disputed that the Princess was it the masquerade there :
she was accompanied by Bergatni in a domino, and by Louisa
De Mont. They massed' the garden, went through a door at
the extremity, got into a hired carriage, and so arrived at the
Theatre. He laid no stress upon what ocuirred there ; his ob-
ject was entire! different. What was the fair inference from
this vidt of the ' so secretly made, and so accampanied ?
Did it not give most important confirmation to all the other
facts? Even the conduct of his Learned Friends in their ma.
nagement—their zealous management—of the defence esta-
blished all that was necessary : Dr. Holland swore to tie fin.
The charge had been made, and bad been in print for these six
weeks : the attention of the Princess must have been drawn to
the subject, and she must have known by whom she was ac-
companied to that masquerade. Did any of her English suite,
or any of the Italian Nobility, attend her? If so, she could
have proved it ; she had not proved it, and the evidence of 'De
Moot on the point was rendered indubitable. Another circum.
stance adverted to by the Attorney-General was the breakfast-I
ing at Genoa and Milan; and supposing no reliance were to he I
placed on the testimony of Majocchi and De Mont, still they
vouched the presence of other persons, which must satisfy all as
to their correctness, recollecting that those persons so vouched
had not been produced. On F. 258, De Mout swore that Louis
Bergami and Theodore Majocchi waited on the Princess and
Bergand at breakfast, and Majocchi deposed that Louis Bergami
or Camera assisted hint. Why, then, had not Louis Bergami or
Camera been called to contradict Majocchi and De Mont ?
If the other side did not dare to produce them, or either of
them, according to all just reasoning it was strongly confirma-
tory of the original statement, and a clear evidence of guilt.—
The transaction at Venice with the chain also deserved.* re-
ntarb or two. A cross-eianduation of great length had taken
place, in order to enable the other side. if possible, to contradict
Majocchi; it was found that the chain was bought of one Farina,
his residence was described, and it was added, that at the time
all the party were getting up from table. Fauna then might
have been called ; some of the persons present and rising from
dinner might have been called ; but they had none of them been
produced. It had been said, that in the Public Papers there
was an account with respect to the sale of this chain. He (the
Solicitor-General) was satisfied that this publication would hare-
mo effect on the minds of their Lordships. The other side had
produced Austrian Gazettes, and had offered supposed lethal(
Baron Ompteda ; but, among all their ten thousand ittegallbil.
ties, they had not ventured to produce this much-talked-04m.
tificate respecting the sale of the chain. He did not believe it
existed, or his Learned Friends would not fall to have brought
it forward. The facts could not have been forgottea : Bergami
had been waiting behind the chair of the Princess, she pat duel
chain round his neck, he returned it, and then they parted with
a squeeze of the hand. Not one point of this evidence had beat
contradicted. What answer had been given to the facts sworn
to at Bellinzona, Lugano. and the Devil's-bridge? At Benin-
zona, Dergami, in his courier's dress, was admitted on a footing,
of perfect equality to the dining-table of the Princess, and the
same occurred at Lugano, and at the 'Deill's-bridge. r. Den-
man had endeavoured to account for this circumstance, by re-
ferring to the smallness of the inn ; but &Morons was a large
and populous town, and why was Bergami preferred to all the
rest of the servants? Hieronimus was the Brunswick courier,
from the same country as the Princess, and long in the service
of her family ; but no such attention was paid to him, and it was
exclusively bestowed upon Bergaml. Connecting all these facts
together, the evidence was most importantly confirmed, and the
conclusion was irresistible. But Lieutenant Hownam had said,
that he had never observed anything in the conduct of the
Princess towards Bergami 'in the slightest degree derogatory
from her high station. Being asked whether be had never ob-
served this extraordinary conduct, and remonstrated against ir?
he positively denied it; but, when the name of Captain Briggs
was mentioned, he began to recover, and he then first could not
recollect. This might, it had been said, be all consistent with
veracity ; but if such expressions had ever passed Mr. Huwuam's
lips, it seemed impossible that he should have forgotten them.
W‘at, then, was to be thought of this Ofheex's general evident*?
If such a conversation as that with Captain Briggs had taken
place, suppose his evidence now given correct, it was at variance
with the fact, or if not at variance with the fact, it proved what
he then thought of the character and conduct of the Queen.
That he had used those expreadons was established by a witness
above all reproach ; in a former stage he was considered so by
the other side, and he was embraced as an unimpeachable wit-
ness against the BilL But the moment he mentioned this con-
versation, the language and manner of the Counsel for the Queen
underwent a total change ; then insinuations were thrown out t
" Have you not lately dined with the King? Where did 'this
conversation take place? and did you ever mention it to-any
person before?' It happened that Captain Briggs bad men-
tioned it before; and, as to the charge of dining with the King
at Portsmouth, It appears that Captain Briggs, commandiug the
guard-ship there, in common with all the other Officers, paid his
respects to his Majesty. Such were the attempts made on the
other side to attack the veracity of a witness who did not state
exactly what made for their purpose. He (the Solicitor-Gear-
ral) felt the utmost reluctance in pressing these matters upon the
House, and nothing but an imperious sense of duty could com-
pel him to trouble their Lordships further. It was now near
the hour of adjournment, and though he was anxious to confine
his remarks to as small a compass as possible, he was still afraid
that he must make a considerabk demand on the indulgence of
their Lordships.
The Earl of LIVERPOOL said, as it was now nearly four
o'clock, and the SOLICITOZ-GINIMAL appeared to labour under
indisposition, be would move that their Lordships adjourn until
Monday.
Earl GREY hoped that the second reading of the Bill would
not be pressed on Hoods , V the Solicitor-General concluded
his address. It was that their Lordships should have
some time to look at minutes, and therefore that on'Monday
they would adjourn to Tharsdiy.
The LORD CHANCELLOR said, as be had very impor-
tant duties to fill b another place, he should feel happy chat the
House did, on its rising on Monday, adjourn to Thursday.
Mr. Bsoucnam wished to call the attention of their Lord-
ships to a groundleu charge made against him by the Solicitor- ,
General, who bad iosinuated that be (Air. Brougham) had trifled
with their Loitiships in not producing the letters of Ompteda
which he bad in his possession before. " Now (said the Learned.
Counsel) I did not possess these letters, nor had any knowledge
of their existence, until yesterday morning at half-pastilevat
o'clock; and 'they only arrived in town at half past eleTen sat
Thursday night. I trust my present statement will be taken to
be true,
for such b orthatttesv,vho believe otherwise will state their
grounds
The Soucuost-Gutanat. denied all personal allusion to Mr.
Brougham, whose statement he implicitly believed.
Adjourned at Four o'Clock.
