I have been a Lieutenant in the Navy since the year 1809.-
1 had been six years in the Navy previously. My father was
in thh service of the Princess as Page. - I do not know hew
long Istwas in that service. He-entail his life either in the ser-
vice of his present Majesty, or the Princess Charlotte. The
Princess of Wales interested herself much in my promotion. I
was made Lieutenant in consequence of her good ofilces. I first
joined her Royal Highness's suite in April, 1815, at Genoa. I
do pot know exactly in what capacity, but I received the salary
of Equerry. I have not held any specific situation in her service
'ince. • I was at Genoa about six weeks before I entered the
service of the Princess. Bergami was a Courier at the time.—
He wore the dress of a Courier. Her Royal Hig:lness was left
by her Rnglish Ladies of Honour about ten days after her ar-
rival at Milan. The Countess of Oldi joined her Royal High-
ness one or tNo days after. Faustina and the little Victorine
came into the family at Genoa. I think the mother of Bergami
came at the same time. Louis Bergami was in the service at
that time as Page.
Do you mean Louis Bergami was an upper servant at that
time?..-41es.

Did he wear a liveryi#—Yes. It was a sort of uniform ra-
ther than a livery. .
Witness further stated that he. accompanied the Princess in.
the tour to Mount St. Gottiard. Bergarni accompanied her as
courier. He was dressed as a courier but he rode in a carriage,
'att open calash. I think Ilieronimus was also in the calash.
He was dressed as a courie,r, hut he was Maitre de Hotel at the
time. Both Bergami and Ilieronimus wore the dress of con-
.riers, This tour I think was made ip August, 1815. In the
course of the tour Bergami dined with her Royal highness.
also dined at her table, and remained during the whole of the
dinner. Bergami then dined in his courier's dress, but not
afterwards. He began to dine regularly at the table of the
Princess at the Villa d'Este. I think it was in December.
I think Bergami dined at Lugano with her Royal iiighnesag
also at the Devil's Bridge ; both in the course of the journey
1
to Mount St. Gothard. He was dressed on these occasions
the habit of a courier. Mr. W. Burrell was nor of the party to
Mount St. Gotbard, nor Dr. Holland. There was no English
Gentleman of that party but myself. I have frequently seen at
the Villa frEste her R.yal Highness and Berguni walking to-
gether. I have seen them also in a small bo..t on the Lake; it
was not big enough to hold a third perion conveniently; it was
a canoe. Her Royal Highness walked with Bergami as with '
other Gentlemen. I never saw him walking arm in arm with '
her Royal Highness till he begin to dine regularly with her '
Royal Highness.
You have said, that during the whole time you was with her .
Royal Highness, you never saw anything hi her conduct im-
proper, indecent, or degrading ?—l'have. •
Do you think there was nothing degrading in permitting Ber-
gami to dine, and walk arm in arm With her, in the h.b:t of a
courier ?—1 donee!

Did you never represent to any one that the admission of Ber-
gami to dine at.the table was degrading to. her!—Never.
Did you ever advise her Royal Highness not to admit Sa-
gami to her table ?—To the best of my recollection I did not.
Nor anything to that effect ?—Nor anything t• that effect.
Did.you never entreat her Royal Highness ant to admit &O-
pal to her table never did.
Then, if you never did so entteit her 'Royal Hlgliness, you
could never have represented that you did?—l don't think I.
ever did.
Don't think?—'l could not have laid so, am positive I never
did, I feel convinced-Vnever,did.-
Have you never stated, that on . your butes, and with t:ars
In your eyes, you had endeavoured to dissuade her Royal High-
ness, 'f!rom permitting Bergami to sit at her table, but without
effect?—l newer did such a thing.
lam not asking you whether. you ever did, but whether you
ever said you did ?—I him not the smallest recollection of hav-
ing said so.

But will you swear you did not?—l must swear.as I can, I
have no recollection of the fact. Ido not remember saying so
anybody.
Now, Sir, I ask you, on your oath, did you not say to Capt.
Briggs, when you was on bokrd the Leviathan, namely, that on
your knees, and with tears in your eyes, &c, ?—On my oath, I
'do not recollect having said so. -I have not the smallest recol-
lection of having used such terms
And that you had so endeavoured to dissuade her Royal High-
ness on the day when she lirst*raised Bergami from the situadOn
of bet servant to be ber companion do nut recollect saying
anything of tie kind.
Will you swear that you did not ?—I will swear that I hate
DO recollection that I did. It is some years ago since I was on
board the Leviathan.

it9ia have sworn that the fact did not take place : could you
then, as a Gentleman, have stated that it did 7—l should ima-
gine not.
live 'you any doubt on the subject 7—No. I do not think I did.
In answer to further questions, deposes—" When we went en
the long voyage, we left Bergatni's mother at the Villa d'Este.
Sirs nod to be addressed by the title of Madame I.ivia and Nona.
I have heard her Royal Highness call her Nwin. Her Royal
highness used, at the Villa d'Este, to play very frequently at
games with the servants.' It was, I believe, more to amuse
William (Austin) than anything else. The games were va-
rious ; bliudmani bdff Wai among the number. I think
she used to play at these games. also at the Villa Villani
before Mg. William Burrell left her. Royal Ilighness.—,—
I do not recollect the fact of Mr. Murrell joining in those
games. Retgansiluid never dined with her Royal Higluieis be.
