from the bar.
The Sottcrroa.gatraitat then stated, that if the Learnsd
Counsel for the Queen had slaked tbs "lotion with the view'
which he had just described, there eitidd Wise objection to it.
The witness was then called back, andthe question was again
put, whether any diffieelty had existed as to the payment at her
salary ? Yes. At one tints diem Was a good deed if armor disc.
Did any other circumstances occur in 1817 which were calcu-
lated to render your stay in the situation particularly disagree-
able 7—{Tier Lidybhip was in tears while she gave her answer,
which wall—Yes, I suffered a coissideralik depression of spirits.
Had you at that time lost any oar relations P—Yes, I had
tot two.
Were they not the late Lord Guild/Pi end Lady Gleniervie f
—Yes.
I beg to ask your Ladyships whether yin ever observed any-
thing in the conduct of the Queen, lay impropriety in her Ma-
j:sty, to induce you to quit her iltrvice?—l myself never did
Perceive anything improper.
Lord DONOUGIIMORE.&-You said you joined heF Ma.
jnty ten or twelve days before she quitted Naples, and other
circumstances, which leads to the inference that the experience
you had of the deportment and conduct of the Queen extended
over a period of 24 days ?—in Italy.
That is a part of tile time comprised in the Bill. During that
time that you say you were abroad, you say you observed no im-
ropristy in the conduct of her Majesty towards Bergami ?..None.
What part of the English suite was with her Majesty when
you joined her at Naples : was Sir Wm. Gen there ?—Yes.
Did he stay at Naples, or did he resign?—He resigned as
account of ill health.
Was the Honourable Keppel Craven there?—Yes.
Did he remain, or did he resign?—He also resigned. •
Was Captain Neste in her Majesty's service when you joined'
bar Majesty ?—He was at Naples ; tint I do not know that he
was in the service of her Majesty.
_ _

At the time the persons you tt have mentioned quitted the ser-
♦ice of her Royal Ilighnes% were you aware of any other per-
sons having joined her?—Yes.
Was Bergami then in her service T—He was : I found him in
her service.
Did a sister of Bergami join her at Naples?—Not that I am
au are of. _ _

Do you remember Louis Bergami joining the Princess at
Naples think Ido remember him.
Do you know if he was taken into her service there ?—Ne
I do not.
Do you know of any ether of Bergamrs family being with
her Royal Highness at Naples I never heard of it.
Do you know of a child of Bergamrs, Of the name of Nieto-
rine, being with the Princess?--No, I do not.
You said you saw nothing improper in the conduct of the
Princess, while is her service, which induced you to quit it ?
No, I sew nothing improper.
Was there any report T—{Bear, hear.)
Mr.Bsonesasst objected to the question.
The LORD CHANCELLOR said reports could not be
admitted as evidence, but he thought the question might be so
put es to be unobjectionable.
Lad of DONOUOHMORE.mi•Were there any reasons ope-
rating on your mind which induced you to quit the service of
her Royal Highness, except what you have stated ?...Certainly
I had seen nothing improper in the condom of her Royal High-
ness, while in her service ; but reports of so unpleasant and do.
grading a nature were circulated, as to operate on sty mind, and
induce me to wish not to remain in ber service.
Lewd FALKLAND—Did your Ladyship observe sea degree
of familiarity in her Majesty towards menials, male or female ?
—I conceived her Majesty to be affable and familiar to all her
servants.
Was it such affability as is usually shewn by the higher classes
of society in this country to their inferiors?—l think there is
more familiarity shewn by the higher classes in Italy than in
England. 1 thought the manners of the Queen rather peculiar.
' Did you think them peculiar in a foreigner 7—l am not, per-
haps, very well able to judge of that. The foreign'Nobility are
more apt to converse with their servants than the English. The
Queen had the familiarity of a foreigner.
lAid you think that familiarity greatly exceeded that of fo-
reigners, so far as you have had an opportunity of observing it?
—No, not greatly.
In speaking of your observing an improper familiarity on the
part of the Queen to Bergami, had you a reference to that pe-
culiarity?—l had.
Did you observe anything extraordinary or unbecoming in the
conduct of the Queen towards Bergami 7—Nothing extraordi-
nary or unbecoming. Her Majesty talked to Bergami as she
used to do to Sicard and various other persons in the family.
Earl. of LAUDERDALE.—Your Ladyship has stated that
you quitted the service of the Queen in consequence of a com-
munication from your brother. Wu that communication in
writing 7—lt was.
have you that letter in your possession 7—No, I have not.
Mr. BIOUGIIIAIt objected to the question.
Earl of LAUDERDALE.—Was it in consequence of the
difficulty of obtaining your salary, that your brother requested
you to leave the service of the Queen?
Mr. BROMMAX objected to the question.
The LORD CHANCELLOR—Does your Ladyship knew
if that letter is in existence 7—l believe sot.
Have /ou made my search for it ?—I have not.
Mr. Beousium objected to the production of any letter to
the witness, written by an individeel who was not a party in
this cause. The letter was net authorised by her Majesty, but
b y a relation of the witness, and, therefore, could not be received

in evidence.
The Lord CHANCELLOR said if the letter could not be
produced, the questions relating to it ought to be expunged from
the minutes. He thought a search ought first to be made for
the letter.
Lord ERSKINE rem and defended the wig• lie said'
the Noble Lady at the bar had given her evidence with great
candour and fairness. She bad stated that she saw DO impro-
priety between the QOM! and Bergami; but that reports, con-
tradictory to her own observation, bad operated on her mind
He had some other remarks to make on this subject, which he
would defer until the production of this letter.
Lord LIVERPOOL—If the letter could be found, and it
.Was proper that it shouli be produced, then it ought to be pro-
duced ; but if it was improper to do so, then it was unnecessary
to occupy the time of the House in discussion upon it.
The Earl of LABDERDALE to witness.—Did your Lady-
ship ever go into the bed-chamber of the Queen without being
sent for, or without knocking at the door ?--.1 do not particu-
larly recollect going without being sent for, but I certainly did
not knock at the door.
D 3 you recollect ever going without being sent for ?—I do
not recollect ; but it is not improbable that I have.
When the Queen proposed to you at Nice to join her, and
;erne attangernenta were made in consequence, were they on
your suggest on, or on that of her Majesty?—When the Queen
Wiatd me to jean her at Naples, I said I would obey her Ma-
