• And be appealed to their Lordships whether
sueh facts, allots ing them to lie so, ought to ine H-
ence them in deals it:g that inference which would
t• a-rant a verdict of guilty. His Lordship de-
fry fettled the eyhicuce of Lieutenants Hownans
and Flynn, although lie screed that as the Liter
had contradicted himself so palpably, lie threw;
it entirely not of his consideration. He contended
tl et liarotilo and Paturzo were suspicious wit-
new,. Nothing more than a ease of suspicion 1
and impropriety of conduct hail been made out against 1
LerMajesty. There was no proof she had disgrareil this 1
co/miry on the contrary, she was received at all the j
sonata where she went. excepting in one instance, !
where the nawarrantable inliuenee of a British Minister
had excluded her. lie was as unlikely as any man, fmna
habit. or disposition to give way to popular clamour,
hut the feeling which had hero expressed throughout
tle country against this measure, was entertained by
1.1 that was honest, wise, and respectable io the
cvittdry. He bail before expressed his feelinge
ta:!..n the ill-advised letter which her Majesty had
written to the King. And he hail no objeeti even
to state, that he extended that condemnation to those
arswers to addresses which she II:41 been so injuri-
G advised to publish. As a question of policy anal
r x:•eiliencc, their Lordships ought to look at the probable
result of passing such u Bill as that before the House.
M any indeed were the difficulties attending the sending 1
t s Hill to the Commons. Their Lordship Lace seen '
t. e difficulties of an examination of this case by :Inn
J mtge., although they hail the advantage of eeamits-
thr witnesses on oath, and the benefit of the opinion
I the Learned Judges on questionable points. What
t' "n most be the difficulty of an examination in
e Lower House of this miserable cause ? It
✓ occupy so much time that the public •
I•nsiness must be suspended. 'llse nation must
re!raiti in a ferment, and would be again disgusted by
a repetition of the most disgusting evidence. What
vpinion was already entertained in Europe of these
;tuft...dings? And what must be that.op. if they
slmuld be thus continued for months, say, years? But
it seemed there was an eiaredient suggested for soften-
ing the measure. lie had heard that it was said,
tt thily send the Hill to a second reading, and we
may, perhaps, be able to get rid of it in the Com-
mitter." Now, he would say, that if the Bill
passes! the second reading, the mischief would be
done, and the Hesse could not get rid of the Bill. By
sending it to a snood reading they *veld affix infamy
upon the Queen, sad Dever could mhos. it. Theo it-
