Lord EitiKlNlt spoke in support of the question, $M
contended that it was a proper luestion for the ptirpote
of leading to a rontradietiottof Dettiout. The objectien
of the Counsel for the Bill appeared td his Lordship to
confound the distinction between the admissibility and
the effect of the etiJonce now offered. He conceived
that at all .•vents it was clearly admissible, though its
effect would be lot the after cobsideration of their lard-
sh i ps.
'1 he It 4111 of 11.AftDERIIALS opposed the putdoltiilit
the question. Ile conceived It would lead to Loads
ntissible evidence.

Lord N•taltlNl expressed his astonishment that a
Oen of the talents cid experience of his Learned
Friend should support the übjectlen.
The Lo D Cu ‘Ne :punt said, their Lariliships were
not at present called upon to decide ern % the justice
of his Noble and Leirned Friend---(a to
pronounce as to the admissibility of the evidence 'now
proposed by the Queen's Counsel. His Lurcisdilp said.
may be mistaken, but I consider it evtdetsce beonsisc
to effect the general credit of Dumont, and 'ititifsde
ailmissible.--(Cries of Hear, hear, and Do tro.)•, •
What question did you put to Demont bkitt.
thought The Piinccss was a Libertine; that was Nen
my frank opinion.
What answer did Mademoiselle Detnontniike ?
She put herself in a great passion, and said it was a ca- •
limey invented by the enemies of her Royal Highness
to ruin her ; that she had never observed my thing
about the Princess but what was good : she toI•1 us
that ever since the Princess had quitted Ragland,
she bad been surrounded with spies, and that Peery
action she did with the test intention was misin-
terpreted ; thit the Princess knew very well that
she was surrounded by spies, but she never did
any thing but what all the world might observe.
Do you remember observing to Demont, that as
she (Demont,) Was always about Ote'ltineess, she
(Demont,) could observe all her Royal Hight4sa's
actions!? •
This question was objected to, and after a
conversation be.ween the Lord Chancellor ;Mb •
Brougham, was withdrawn.
Do you remember any thing being said tm
about the old King ?—She said in the coriredititisia
that the old King was the only support Old /quaked
had in England.
Do yuti know Demont well, and does.4cmnat,lanetr
you well ?—Yes.
