How long did you remain in Italy after leaving the sertici

of the Princess?—l do not remember.
lay as nearly as you can tell?—Four or five months.
hoes the witness remember going with the Princess and
Bergami to Padua?—Yes.

. •
Po you remember the name of the Inn at which they put up?
t do not remeMber the name, but it was the Inn on the right
hand as you go into Padua: •

Do you remember, when at Naples, of Bergami going out one
evening on horseback, and of the Princess asking for him during
his absence?

The Interpreter said, the witness's answer was—l remember
it lao well.

A number of Peers called out " Xo. no." There appeared to
be a general dissent from the accuracy of the Interpreter's trans%

The Interpreter obcervcd, that he translated the words used
by the witness" too well," on account of a criticism made by her
Majesty's Attornei-Genend yesterday, on a similar expression,
but that on his oath the words used by the witness meant only
‘• I remember it very welt."
Mr. BROUGHAM obsetved, that he had not alluded yesterday
to the literal meaning of the Words, but to the tone in which they
were given, as imparting to them the sense for which he con-
tended.

Sor ICITCM-GICNERAL resumed—During the absence of 13era
gami on homback, did the Princess ask for him?—Yes.

Lord Eavt:mr wished to know the date of the occurrence al-
luded to.

The Soi.ictToa-GENtaat observed, that it had brut before
mentioned in evidence, that the witness entered the.Princem's
service in the beginning of 181.3, when she was at Naples, and
that %he had remained a month or more at that place. It must
have been during that rericd.

. . . . .
Examination resumed.—On the return of Bergand, did Toe
communicate to him that the Princess wanted him ?L-Ves.

Was the Princess above stairs at that time in her bed-ruo'm
20 nut know, became I was below in the court.

In consequence of what you tad Dergami, slid he (Bergami)
go up stairs to the bed-room ?
Mr. BILOVOIIAM obj‘cted to this question hein put. It as-
sumed that the preceding question hal been answered in the
affirmative, whereas it had not—:he witnea.s,ditl not know Who:
Cher the Princess was in her bed-room at that time or not, as
he was below In the court: The witness ought simply to be
asked where Bergami went?
The Loan CnaNcuicon thought the question, as pin by his
Majesty's Solicitor-General; was a leading question—" In con-
sequence of, ice." The queition ought certainly only to be,
" Where did Bergami go"—ntit; " Did he go up," nor anything
indicating the place where.
The Souctroa-Gasaam. shaped his question accordingly.
Where did Bergami go?—The witness, in answer, began to
detail a coversation which passed between him and Bergami,
when he was interrupted by .
?Sr. Bstouonsu, who objected that any conversation between'
third parties, when the Prinass was not present, could not be
admitted as evidence.
The Souctrort-GENtaAt. answered, that if that conversation
was accompanied by and referred to an act to which the Princess
was a party, it certainly was admissible evidence.
Lord Easaisa thought the question not relevant in the shape
in which it had bein put.

The Loan CusucULos concurred in the principle stated by
the Solicitor-General ; but observed, that it was impossible
the House could tell whetter the c•nvers. tiun referred to any
such act to which the Queen was a party or net.
The Somettott-Gasraat. said, that he would so shape his goes-
don, by separating it into different parts as to obliate the diBi_
culty stated.
Examination restimed.—What did Bergami do? Where- ;A
he go to?—To his own room.
What did he do then as to the doors of the apartments?—He
shut his door.

What do you mean by Au/ ? Did be only close the door, or
did he do anything with the lock ?—lie locked it.
How long did Bergarni remain in his room ?—About three
quarters of an hour, or an hour.

Did you see the Princess in any of the rooms below stairs,
during that period ?—I did net.
In the former part of your examination you mentioned that
some change had been made in the sleeping apartments, at the
Villa d'Este. Was that change made during the absence of the
Princess in Greece?—lt was.

Do you remember the relative situation of the apartments of
the Princess and Bergami after their return from Greece, and
after that change had taken piece .'—l do remember. .
Were they near eacs ether, and had they a direct communi-
cation between them ?They had.
Were the apartments of the rest of the household at a elistanto
from those of the Princess and Bergami ?—They were more far.

Was there any door, which being closed, shut up all coin-
munication between the apartments of the Princess and Du-
rand, and those of the rest of the household ?—Yes, there was
such a door. When it was locked, nt.body else could get ilk
In making the change of which you have Wore spoken, its
the relative situation of the apartments, do you remesubcr apy
thing about an alteration in a wall having been necessary?—l
do not remember.

Was there a Theatre at the Villa d'Este?—There wus.
Did the Princess act at that Theatre ?—yes.
Did she act with Bergaint ?—I saw the Princess and Pen.
gami together, but I did not remain during the only perLsos-
ance of comedy at the theatre.
On the first arrival of the Princess at the Villa d'Este, was her
ltuyal Highness usually 'visited by the persons of distinctien in
the neighbourhood?—l do r.ot remember.
Do you remember a person of the name of Majoneto?—Tes.
What countryman was he ?—He came from Jaffa.
Did he come on board the Princess's vessel at Jaffa ?—Yes.

Did this man remain at Villa dliste during the whole time the
Princess remained there 2—Yes.
Tell us any circumstances which you observed in the condeet
of this Majoneto--any exhibitions which he made; but do est
mention any at which the Princess was not present.
Mr. Baouonaat objected to such a general mode of question-
ing, and to any such sort of cautioning: The Princess and this
man, Majonsto, ought to be first brought ince the presence of
each other, and what followed might then be asked.
The Souctree-Gassait said be would amend the question.
Does the witness remember, on any occasion, when the Prin-
cess was present of Majonetto, making any exhibition?--Yes.
What sort of exhibition was it?—The witness described, it by
the word jocro.
The Interpreter said this was a generic term, meaning, gee,-
rally, tricks.
What tricks were they? Wee they such as Majoise. a t was
in the habit of making? .
Mr. Bsououssa objected to the question. How cash; she
Princess be.matle a party- present to the fact of its being i klkte
of the man or not?
The Somme Gestza.st. dropped the question.
The Interpreter !Las then proceeding, of ilk mist mina to
state to the House that *yr orp jowl Baps a totil, Oaft,

common in the East, which any of their Lordships, who had
travelled in the East must have frequently seen.
Mr. liaouuttsai interrupted bins by desiring that he would
no commentary, but simply translate the answers as give
by the witiL.si.

A series of questions were now put to the witness, as to the
stature of the..i,ceJ, of SO ill(1.ACal:: a description, that we fur-'
inserting them. Il.s answers were so indefinite, that tilt
Stns.:mut-GENET:AL at last desired him to desciibe by signs what
sort of exhibition it was, front beginning to end.—The witness
did so accordingly, and to the life.

The Si-mu:lTon-6Ellmm. then desired the Interpretr to ex-
plain the witness's des&iption to the I lousc.
The Interpreter said be was there to interpret words not signs,
and that he must beg to leave it to his Majesty's Solicitor-Gene-
ral to describe the affair himself—(Great laughing).
Mr. liuouctsxas said, that there was one English word which
might suffice to describe it—curtuying !—(NJ, no, no ! from
many of their Lordships).
Do you remember of Majonetto mailing this sort of exhibition
on more than one occasion before the Princess??—More than once.

Was Bergami also present at these exhibitions ?—Ycs.
Did you ever see the Princess and Bergami sailing together
or the Lake of Coma?—Many times.

Were they alone, or with other people ?—They were alone.
Was it seldom or often that they used to sail thus alone toge-
ther?—Many times.

The Soticiroß-GLNrnAL here said that he had concluded his
examination of the witness.

Cross Examination.—Mr. BROUGHAM, before proceeding with
his cross-examination, desired that the Interpreter, Marchese
hpineto, would remove from between him and the witness
Majocco, and that the witness would look him (Mr. B.) in
the face.

The hitcrpreter was, on this, retiring to the back part of the
space below the bar, when Mr. BROUGHAM recalling him, said
that he had no objection to his continuing to interpret—that
indeed he wished to avail himself of his services, being quite sa-
tisfied with the manner in which he had conducted himself in the
preceding part of the examivation.

Cross-examination commenced, by Mr. BROUGHAM.—You
have told us that you left the service of General Pino. Was it
on account of killing a horse, or anything of that sort?—No
(with great emphasis),
Did you never kill a horse at ail?—No, no, no (most empha_,
tic.ll!y).

Did you ❑ever say to anybody that you had?—No ; never.

What wages had you in General Pino's service ?—rifty pence
(twenty-five of this country).

of 3f a ua.

When the Queen was at N.Tles did not the English servant
of Sir William Gen sit at the second table fur the Gentlemen
of the Queen's Household ?—I do not remember. •

Do you remember of another English servant, tile servant
of Mr. Koppel Craver•., the Princess's Chamberlain, sitting also
at that table ?—I do not remember. •

had either of these two Gentlemen English servants at all,
when attached to the household of her Royal highness?—
They had.

Were they Eng ?—I believe they were, because they spoke
rablish.

Were they in livery or out of livery ?—Dying ordinary days
tbey wire nut in livery, but I have seen them in livery at great
Moyers.

Was it the duty of the ordinary livery servants to wait upon
her Highness ?—lt was.

At tabl;:.!---Ircs.
Alio at breakfast in the morning?—\o.
Vas it not the duty of the upper servants, inc.'nfling the courier,
so to wait on 11::: Royal Highness at breakfast?—acs.

Do you know Cameron?—Yes.
Wlicre did William Austin sleep at Na2les?—l do not re.

Will you swear he did not sleep in the nest room to her Royal
Ilighness?—This I cannot remember.
Where did Dr. Rolland, her Royal Highness's Physician,
sleep ?—I du not remember.
dWill you swear there was no passage through which the Prin-
cess could eater Bergami's room without ping through the
room in which you slept?

[lltre Mr. B&W:GUAM interrupted the witness in his answer,
and stated that he was answering another questionl.
Will you swear that there was no other passage to enter Ber-
gami's room, except through that in which you slept ?—No other.
Will you swear that there was no other ?—I have seen that
passage but no other. I cannot swear ; but I have seen no other.
Will you swear that there was no other way by which any
person wishing to gu from the Princess's room to Bergami's
could go, but through that passage ? I cannot swear that there
is no other. I have seen but that.

Here Mr. Mona:Aa complained that his question was not
translated correctly. He had asked a positive question, which
had been interpreted in a qualified or equivocal manner.
On the question being again asked, the witness said, there was
another passage.

l‘lr. li:tout-num.—Without going through that in which you
slept ?--Ycs.

The Learned Counsel then inquired where several of the ser-
vants belonging to Sir W. Gen, Mr. Ilieroninius, and others
slept, and was answered, I don't know.

Where did Dumont, the maid, ?—I don't know.

'Where did the other maid sleep ?—I do r.ot know.
Wa. it not a very severe accident that B-rgami met with
front the kick of the horse?—lt was so severe that he could
urn walk.
