You said, in your former evidence, that you escaped ; was it
through the apartment of her Royal Highness that you escaped?
—I escaped through the door which was in that part of the
passage.
Are you still meaning the passage between the Princess's room
and the room of Bergami?—Yes.
Well now, when you traversed that part of the passage you
have described, in order to make your escape, did you not go
tow: vas Bergami you mean in the interior passage?
The passage by which you made your escape ?—I was aria,
and I escaped through there, and Bergami's door was there (de-
scribing with her fingers the situations on the table).
Lord LAUDERDALE said that this way of describing with
the fingers would not dor' The witness must be told to describe
the situations so, in words, as that all their Lordships might un-
derstand what she meant.
Mr. Wmuams.—When you made your escape from where
you were standing at the door of the Princess. did you go nearer
to where Bergami was standing made some steps to the
corridor which led out.
I ask you again, did you not, in trying to escape, go nearer to
where Bergami was?—No answer!
I ask you did you go nearer, aye or no?—The witness still
hesitating,
.Mr. Wizalises, to the House.—" My Lords, I insist that I
have a right r-- -
LORD CHANCELLOR.—" Mr. Williams, nobody is 6.•
puling your right—(4 laugh).--If the witness does not answer
satisfactorily any question-you put to her, you have a clear right
to persist in your question till you get a proper answer."
Viscount EXMOUTH thought the way the witness describtl
the situations with her fingers was dear enough.
The LORD CHANCELLOR observed, that it mighemrcin
clear enough to the Noble Viscouut, who was awe to the B:,r‘
and could see the description of the witness; bnt it was cer-
tainly not intelligible to their Lordships in the remoter parts 0
the House, who must trust only to what they heard.
Mr. Wu-cum.—l ask you again, whether or not, when you
made your escape, as you have described several times, you did
not get nearer to Bergami in so doing?—The witness said atlas:,
Yes!

Did Bergami come forward, or rum back into the room ?—I
saw Mr. Bergami over against me, coming towards me.
Then he kept coming nearer to you. to meet you ?-.-I did not
see that, because I went out precipitately,
How do you know, then, that he came towards you?—Be-
cause I saw him coming in a direction towards me,
I believe you have said that the King of Naples lent a palace
to the Princess ; was it not so ?—Yes.
I am going to speak now of that night when the Princem
acted the part of the Genius of History. I ask you whether
the King and Queen of Naples were not there ?—I saw the
King of Yaplts in the room, but not the Queen : *e was indis-
posed, and obliged to kave the rconi at an early hour.

that occasion?—There were several Ladies in the room, but I
know not who they were.

Gentlemen in the rOOlll.
I beg to know whether two other Ladies did not sustain dm.
racters when the Princess appeared as the Genius of History?—
When the Princess went down dressed in that character, I did
not go down, but remained in the anti-elsamber.
You yourself did not then see the representation or spectacle,
whatever it was was not present during the representatid%
of the piece.
Did you see any other lady dressed np as representing Vic-
tory 7—l don't recollect any other lady. There were several
costumes, but I don't recollect farther.
I wish to know from you, were those costumes used on that
occasion when the Princess appeared in the character of the Ge-
nius of History ?r—l saw different costumes during that same
evening.
Did you see one representing Fame?—l don't recollect. I
saw several costumes, but made no observation.
When the Princess was dressed up as the Genius of History,
did she go into the room where the Neapolitans, male and
female, were only saw the Princess go down. I was staad-
ing at the head of the staircase. I know nothing further.
Was it towards the room where the Neapolitan nobility were
assembled, that the Princess went?—Yes.
Have you any doubt whatever that the Princess did go on
that occasion to appear before that assembly ?—I believe 'Lc
Princess was going to appear among them.
When the Princess was dressed as a Turk on that ocessicn,
were there other persons similarly attired, so as to form a group?

into the room. I only entered the ball-room towards the end of
the ball.

Din you see Mr. Siceard there7—l saw neither Mn, Simard
nor Mr. Hieronimus but they told me net day they bad been
