Noble Earl opposite (Liverpool), and the Noble and Learned
Lord .on the cross beach (Redesdale), have dwelt mach—l

The Noble Earl bad admitted that Slcard's evidence, though
strongly in favour of his mistress, was unimpeachable. The

log the Princess at Naples. A Noble and Learned Lord (Man-
ners) had, in reterence to other pans of her Royal liiihness's
suite leafing her at Naples, said that Mr. Craven had left her
Royal Highness in conseqpenee of his having cautioned the
Princess against walking with Bergatni ; but, from the • evi-
dence of Mr. Craten this was not the case. He acknow-

ledged giving the Princess such a caution; and said, that if
he had seen her Royal Highness walking with any other person
instead of Bergami, he would have stated to her that he thought
she was exposing herself ; and that an improper inference
would be drawn from it by the spies which he believed to be
watching the conduct of her Royal Highness. It was true that
the greatest part of the Princess's suite did leave her at Naples;
but their Lordships had no right to draw an unfavourable in.

absent from their friends and connexions, for more than a limited
time. The Noble Marquis said he would notice that part of the
I case which hadheen much adverted to, the charge at Carhrebe—a

case in which a party had been brought to this country to give
evidence against the-Queen, and where the same power failed of
getting a witness for her. He would confess, that his impres.
don was rather favourable to Barbara Kress; but,,in the presets
unsifted state of the ease, their Lordships did not know but
that Barbara Kress might herself have beep deceived, and `made
to believe that she saw her Royal Highness in company with
Berson', when, in fact, it was his sister, the Cottntess of OWL
'A
Noble Lord had said, Kress came voluntarily forward whit
her testimony; but if their Lordships looted at the evidence,
they would find, that Von Grimm, who had given up his apart..
ments to the Princess, for what purpose he knew not, and who,
the moment her Royal Highness quitted them, ran from room
to room, immediately called up Kress, and asked her if she had
seen nothing improper in the Princess of Wales's conduct?
The fact was, that Barbara Kress was brought to this country
by power, and by power only, and the same power failed in
behiging over a witness for the Queen. This being the case,
was it posdble that the testimony of Kress could be admitted?
He had heard many Noble Lords declare, with great appear,
pee of candour, that they would dismiss from their mind*
different parts of the evidence, in consideration of the doubtful-
ness of the veracity of those who gave It ; but be would tell these
Noble Lords that they were bound not to dismiss from their coasi.

defence were prohibited from going into peen) proofs of the
existence of a conspiracy, and if in keeping within the :roles
prescribed to them, they hatielicited the Let, that somehow o;
ether, through all the parts in which her -Majesty resided, there
existed a conviction that those who were ready to give evidence
against her, would get into the most sure road to fortune—
if their Lordships should presume from what bad come before
them that this was the case, and that a machinery aad agency
existed from the German Minister down to the German waking-
maid, (a character as respectable as a German Minister engaged,
in such a cause)—if they were convinced that such an opinion
was created by the examination of the testimony of Such* and
Cuchi, who seemed to 'Peal so purely from the lave of truth;
were they not bound to look upon that of Paturzo and Garguilo,
whichAtail been subject to such doubt, as likely to be influenced
by similar views, and to infer the general probability ? (Hear.)
There was another circumstance well worthy of cot deration;
their Lordships were desired to compare the evideuce Rf Ma-,
jacchi and De Mont with that of Flynn and How ; an 4
they were told that there were duracters in the evidence of alb
of them, which placed them on the same footing as to credi-
bility. He begged their Lordships pot to confound the evi-
dence of persons who forgot what had existed, with the evidence
of those who remembered what had not existed at all--(Henn/-
Such a comparison struck him as most ;hoard, particularly when
be looked to the memory of Majocchi, who recollected having
seen Doctor Holland attending upon Bergami in her Royal
Highness's presence, and to that of Doctor Holland, who
had not and could not have recollected anything of the kind.
Distinctions of this kind were to souk from the natural print:
ciples of evidence. The Noble Lord then spoke with

to a distinct conclusion. He was surprised at a wish expressed
by some Noble Lords, that Bergami himself should be called
to the Bar—(Lead cries (f Hear, hear I).—He felt no baits.:
don whatever in declaring, that whether Bergami admitted or
denied all the facts charged in the preamble, it would not weigh
a feather in his mind, or in the mind of any other honowzble
man—( Hear, hear, he:lsl.—Not many years had elapsed since'
in a cue of divorce, it was proposed to call one of the parties
to prove his connexion with the woman who lay under the
imputation. Upon that occasion, a Learned and able Judge
declared, that if he were himself called to give evidence wits(
respect to a female, to whom he was under such dram!
stances, he would consider himself absolved from the obli:
'laden to state the fact against her (Hew, hear, isear).—.
Captain I,ipok, it was said, had been called upon a speculatioq
of this nature. He was sworn, but he was not believed--:
(Hear, hear).—The Noble Lord then proceeded to make soma
observations'upon the non-production of efficient witnesses
by
the Crown. He had conceived that, at the commencement
of this inquiry, the cause would have been conducted as the
cause of Truth versus the Princess of Wales, and he imagined
that there would have been no party, except merely the defendant.
To this supposition be had been led by the Noble Lords oppo-
site, who had said, that though, for the sake of form, they had
taken the character of prosecutors, not a tittle of evidence which,
in the course of the irradiation, should appear .favourable to
her Royal Highness-should be suppressed. He (the Arc&
