But if your Lordships Will only decide casts .of ich4terfon the

determination, and to declare that alt the diVratica Ahem.

going it:to a room and locking the door, which is afterwards
forced, and they are discovered preparing to commit achil-
tery ; this would be no evidence of tht fait, but if a few
days afterwards the same parties lock themselves in a room
far some hours, or. be. found for five weeks sleeping in the
same apartment, would any one say that their preparing
for committing the act; Was not a strong antecedent proof that
it was afterwards committed: Laying aside the evidence of Ma-
jocchi and De Mont, and looking at the unconeeadicted evidence
case, and the evidente for the defence, which afforded in this
as strong a legal presumption of guilt as the evidence fot the Bill
itself; and looking also at the evidence which might have been
produced low the defence, and the non-production of which ought
to have been accounted for; looking at all these circumstances,
I think it will be difficult for any man to lay his hand on
his heart, and say, Not Guilty. I must again say, that if your:
Lordship: are not convineed.of the Queen's guilt on legal evi-
dence, no moral conviction—no • question of policy or expe-
diency, can justify your finding her guilty. The Noble and
Learned Lord then allteled to the case of Trieste, in which
there was first Moral conviction, and afterwards legal evidence
that the Queen vravisot there more than a day an' a half. r
feel gratified, and so I am sure wll your Lordships' that I am
eove.going to utter stay Last words on this great and melancholy
e-aestion. If I feel that the guilt of the Queen,has been proved
by legal evAence, I shall act accordingly, but if I was not so
convinced, no earthly tow,ideration should induce me to vote
for the third reading ; but after hearing all the evidence, and
deviating every attention in my power to the subject, I cannot
conscientiously but vote for the third reading of the Bill:

At twenty minutes past one oclock the- House
divided on the question that this Bill be-now read a

third time:

After the numbers wept announced at above, the
House continued aiming,, without grangers being ad•
witted, and various contradictory rumours got into
circulation as• to the Cause of the continued exclusion.
The prevailing report was, that the numbers had
been. erroneously takest, and that a second Division
was going on.

This welcome intelligence was immediately hailed
with loud and Unceasing cheering from the assert-
bled multitude, who, we aced not say, were of the
most respectable description, none but persons of the
better classes being admitted within the barriers.
The intelligence quickly spread, and in a few mi-
nutes nothing was heard but cheering and rejoicing
in all the streets and avenues leading from the Par-.
liament House.
