THE EIGHTH DAY OF THE DEFENCE.
HOUSE OF LORDS.
The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the Wool-

list of Peers was called over in the usual manner. Counsel were
then called in.

iesitenant Hanscom was called to the Bar, and his examination
resumed by Mr. TYNDALL.
-

You mentioned in your examination of yesterday, that there
was a communication from the tent below. Was it open by

night as well as by day?--The ladder was constantly down.
Have you had any opportunity, from going there, of knowing
whether the communication was open or not?—l have.
On what occasion was this?—One evening, not knowing that
her Royal Highness had retired, I ran up the ladder to go on
deck, and did not find the tent closed.
)Vas the light out at this time ?—I imagine it was, but I am
not certain.

Was the tent a sinele or a double tent 7—lt was the awning
of the ship.
Dies that imply that it was a single tent P—Yes, with the
exception of a partial covering round it.

But was there one tent or two?-onr only.

Do you know whether the tent was so closed as to be opened
by persons on the outside?—lt might be opened from the out-
side, certainly. _ .

, . .
Will you describe the opening of the tent?--It was closed u
all tents are by two parts of the canvass being drawn together,
but not sewed.

To go into the tent, it was only necessary to draw back part
of the canvass?—Yes, certainly.
How near was the tent to the steersman ?—Close after to the
mizen-mast.

What distance was It from the steersman, as nearly as you

can say ?—I suppose four, five, or six feet.
Was any part of the crew usually up during the night?--Yes,
the watch. One part of the vessel's crew kept watch during
the night.
Was there a passage on the side of the tent from the after
to the fore part of the ship ?—The tent occupied the whole of one
side of the vessel.

Did the duty of the crew, in the ordinary management of
the vessel, carry them from one part of the vessel to the other?
Constantly. _

•
You have stated, that in the tent there was a sofa and a tra-
velling-bed ?—Yes there was.
Do you know on which of these her Royal Highness reposed
during the night ?—I think she reposed on the sofa.
Do you know who reposed on the travelling bed?—No, I do
not. I never was in the tent after night.

Do you know whether her Royal Highness reposed alone
during the night ?—I have heard that other people slept there.
Without speaking as to what you have heard, .d 0 you know of
any other person sleeping there ?—I do not know; I never saw
any other person.
Do you know, in the journey by land from St. Jean d' Acre
to Jerusalem, whether, when her Royal Highness reposed, she
was dressed or undressed ?—1 never saw her undressed.

Have you any reason to know one way or the other?—l never
saw her reposing during the day, and consequently never saw
her undressed.

Have you had occasion to go into her Royal Highness's tent
)iscevlous to resuming your journey ?—We always dined there
previous to our departure.
Do you not know whether her Royal Highness was dressed
or undressed during the time she reposed?—l do not know
whether she ever was undressed during the journey ; I don't be-
lieve she was.

State your grounds for believing she was not undressed?—
Because I never saw any bed-clothes in the tent.

Now you have stated respecting the tent in the journey by
land, I wish to know whether, in the tent on board ship, her
Royal Highness was dressed or undressed when she reposed?
—I never saw any bed-clothes on the sofa.
Do you recollect an accident happening one night, by the iea
breaking into the tent ?—I do.
Describe the nature of the accident, and what you observed

ately ?—lt was.

did take baths on the voyage home.
When the bath was taken, of what description was the tub
or vessel which was used ?—lt was a common bathing-tub,
made at Augusta, by my orders.
