TRIAL OF THE QUEEN.

EIGHTEENTH DAY-IN CONTINUATION.
HOUSE OF LORDS, SEPTEMBER 6.

The LORD CHANCELLOR said, he did not place a high
',Joe upan his own opinion on this subject. It was safer to act
upon the general opinion of those who were conversant with
such questions. lie, however, thought that the House was en-
tithki to have the wind:, conversation stated.

'Lord ERSKINE was of opinion, that the house ought to
adopt the opinion given by the majority of the Judges.
/.ord PA/ESL/ALi . said, the witness was sworn to tell the
tenth, the whole truth, :rd nothing but the truth ; and that it
was probably while he was proeuedin,z to tell the who truth the
interruption had taken place. A witness, if he gave a partial
are.ver might be exposed to a prosecution for perjury. And an
interruption might have beer. the calm of his net having told
the whole truth. Ile conceived it to be their Lordships' duty to
endeavour to extract the whole truth 3.) far as affected the wit-
ness, otherwise he rolglit be hereafter accused of concealing pert
of the truth. I: would be found that this w:tness had, in the
course of his cro.3-exantir.ation, misunderstood a question, and
the answer to th.tt question,• upon the re-clan:illation, was at
variance with that which be had giver. before. He should con-
ceive himself competent to put a question to this witness for the
pv.rp Ise of extracting thus whole truth.
The LOUD CIIANCELLOII then put the question--Whe-
thtr it was the opinion of their Lordships that Counsel should
be called in, and informed they were nut at liberty to put the
question?
The question was put and carried in the affirmative, without
a division.

Counsel were then called in, and inrormcd accordingly.
Ezionitinfion of Signor Bacon remmed.
You stated that when yob came to this country you a:mimed

. .
