Mr. Brougham remained out three quarters of an
boor.
At a quarter to two lie returned and resumed the de-

tutu every where else, after the maisoer in ohieh a
hruovtlisilge of aaCielit sales reached our days, whose
names were lost, by means of little sayings, which were
recorded as proofs of wisdom cud experience. As long
as words shot& he known among men, those of Majucci
•wu nut lei retemlereed, awl . his image wook 10-agog-
niaeit. ' pie was indeed a wittiest of great importance,
inasmuch as his evitieuce extended to nesrlv the alone
of the theme whieh was embraced by the charge. lie was
dismissed,. or rather he retired from the service of the
Princess; and was found wanting to he reeslled about
the tiingiit which the elserge has concocting. lie hal
often heard a remark which greatly prevents.% th-t Nis-
loeci's 40tilit fill testimony might have arisen truce time j
tlefectof memory. lie did nut mean to deity that me-
mory na well es honesty djffered. lie knew there were
differences of memory. lint they haul only tm, recellect
parts of Slajoeci's evidence, and be would 'defy the wit
of limn to ruder* a more ;dein instanee of false swear-
ing shin his " I don't remensber," and - I don't know."
lie knew there were crises iu which !melt a;mswers wonld
he c table to a witness, bat he nimbi row to the
proot
itive of this man's perjury. He wound come
to that fart at once where be swore hardily to the posi-
tion of the sleeping room of Wrestled as cuenectesi with
that of her Majesty. It bad hero the great object of
the Attorney-tieneral to prove that the position of the
room, haul always been favourable lo the commission of
miutil.ry, by 'bowing that they had rommunicetion,
whibi lite apartments of the rest of the guile were sepa-
ratetlond access cut off, from that of her Majesty. Ihe
training and drilling to this point haul lean particularly
attended to: and therefore it Was that the first witness
nag better prepared, and haul sworn more to it than
;may other tett, lie bad evidently liven more prepared,
and accordingly be best remembered every thing
which %vent to attark the character of the Queen,
annul forgot every thing else. lie would •how bow
far his forgetfulness could have bees real er inno-
cent, First, when ailed " where Itergausi slept, whe-
ther it was distant or near to the Princess r he answers
" near." " Where were the rest of the saite, distant or
near ?" The Word which he used in reply, was " sepa-
rain," which wss "apart." Now if apart meant any
thing, it meant that they were distant. Ilere, then, was
ka end of all innocent forgetfulness, if, when he (Mr.
asitel these questions, the witness told him " Ise did
.mot know" or " he did nut recollect," when he has bi-
' fraf stated that some were war; and some siporrec -air
such evidence, he was as folly perjured as a nun who
int %Olt first swear that he had seen a man on 3 particular
day, and next that he hail never seen him in I.is life. Ile
%sou! I slew- their Lordships soother specimen from be
e‘itutomee---another simple of his memory, The Learned
l'oatisel then adverted to the contradictory evidence re-
sp-etitig the alterations at Villa il*Este. The grafting
falsehood upon truth was the musfeffeetual way of framing
a l'i 01.p.nary. Theo it was that an honest man's life might
Fein .mammeer,or the reputation of an Illustrious Princess.
The sAtt.o witness, in speakiug of the circumstances
which had takes place at Naples, could recollect to a
nil vote. The Learned tlentleman here referred to that
part of Nlajocci's evidence which spoke of the transae.l
ti.imi• at Naples. Ilere it seemed his memory was most ,
excellent. But then this was necessary to garnish Mall
store. The moment: however, he (Mr. lt.) shook' refer,
to tine truss-examination, their Lordslaps would see
how totally the memory of this witness failed I • . In
answer to nue question, he could not tell whether he bad
travelled four hours or eight hours; and this glaring
in.-musis!ency he attempted to rover, by explaining. that
hm• had no watch. Was ever any thing so absurd ? He
had no watch, when he (veld recollect to a minute, any
ttwre than when he could nut recollect with respect to
hours. Ile could tell to a minute, when Isis answer was
to bear against the Queen, hot lie lost his memory the
1 in ttttt eta he wes questioned upon a point which would
lead to an exposure of his falsehood. Speaking of what
had taken plate on board the l, he hail the impu-
dence to say, that he could not recollect whether two
and twenty, or only two sailors were on board. In short,
such a memory, so exactly descriptive of a fitness speak-
ing decidedly for one party, and avoiding the sifting of
the other, he had never before seen its the whole of his
votesssinitalosperience. But even this teas not all. There
were cases where it was utterly imputssibleltecoultl f mrget.
For instance, while under cross-examination, he said
he knew nothing of Mr. Hughes, a haulier's clerk ; know
no banker's clerk at all : knew nothing of the name :
" butt the moment" said Mr. Brouirltain, " the moment
he saw I haul a letter in my hand o linen by hinsself, and
with which I was about to confront hint, Isis memory
returns: and I am sure your Lordship, must hive ob-
served, from his demeanour, nay, front his tone of re-
turning memory, that he haul never forgotten the cir-
enimistatice at all. Butt how. did he affect to recollect ?
Oh ! tire, was a person I used to call brother banker. I
was on familiar terms with him. Surely it must hays'
been his excessive familiarity with Mr. Iluglies that
made him forget him. -Ss fur that part of the cross-ex-
amination in whirls he admitted
his nir, r of maniac, to
line of the females of the house io which be resided, and
time manner in which he attempted to get out of that ad--
omission and that promise. I shall not insult the under-
<tussling of your Lordships, by making a singly cow-
-1 inent upon it ; for it must have heen et ident to every one
1 who heard him, that he would recollect nothing until
he found we hurts. the whole of that respecting whirls
we were examining him. Before I Lave done with nay
remarks npon the testimony of Majoeci, I will first
local to your Lordship's Observations, his shoteing
and shifting respecting the receipt of money ; for
be distinctly acknowledged that he had received
. from -Lord 'Stewart a sum of money to retry him
to Milan; and afterwards swore that be had never re-
-1 reived any money at Vienna. It will be in your Lord-
ships' recollec•iuu. that Lore! Stewart was at Vienna at
the time in question when this man was laying the foon-
deion of his fittere fortune, when he was supporting the
[AU' of the .%ttornev•General he could rerill.kel. snarl
I thing, bet when wider croos-eitaminatiou, be could re-
collect nothing; and I can poreeire how easy it is.,pith
tlie :mistimes of a perjured witness, a little tutoring sad

-

a little drilling, bow easy it is to put the life of an honest
man into jeopardy, and the reputation of an Illustrions
Princess into shower. One 'observation I shall le ose
upon this witness, which I thi:.k will be fatal
to his credit al,egether. Whenever he feared detection.
he month' not support the Aitorney-Geiteral ; sod this
alour must be proof direct of his falsehood ; for the open-
ing ofthe A ttorneya is.neral was upon his previews% deo litel
examination, and whomever be (Ace' in supporting that
examination, it followed, eitjair that be was perjure.!.
or that he had real!' and sincerely lloyetattes. Yet, ye it
Lordships will decide which sem the ease in the present
instance, and your Lord•hias ire ra..tre bow flinch inure
li hely it i 3, that a man should hornet falsehood than truth.
Truth, Imus its very naoure, maims an impression ;
hot
falsehood bring a creature of the nicked iinagitratonti,
is
al ma ye likely to betray its creator. I will apply this obser-
vation tt, that pert ot'alajocei's eviokace,reeperoing +s fiat
passed at Catiania. The Solicitor-litateral had this
man's former examination in his hand, and was ex-
amining kin§ front that examination ; hut :uneseliow or
other, from mum remote -et Other, a itenht, a fear, or
something eite, Ike 'Otsego itnr•lile rentsed to ievioart
his former story. In vain did the tisilieitor•Beiteral jog, •
him, and as&sibini by hint. " I:id you see any line roor
into the room of Bergasni molten tie was ill ?—Yes, the
Princess! Did any thing pass then ':--- I tosetrol a whiv
peeing. Nothing else?—No." Till, wae .1 disappoint
ment to the Solirittir-lieneral, and titerefolee he joreee
tic; whams again. "A: any other time slid pie 11,.i
any thing else ?—No." Disappointment again : I u it,
give your Lordships another instance. The niters
spoke to the Princess riding upon an ass. The Solicitor
hteneral still speaking from the witness's former es•
antination, asked " Who held her ?—liergaloi. What
did yon see on that occasion ?" The Solicitor-tieuerai
was hoe qui:e. **keit% and be expected a favourall-
answer t• whew, io his utter astritushment, nottlievii
cook% be got from the witness hot that 111i-gatri pre-
, vented the Princess from falling! The Soliettor-Venerta
over and over again, asked " %I' hat else? They %puke !"
' In abort, this was the invariable course whenever, from
some cogent rea.on, best known to the witness, ht.t
which may be easily guessed, he chose to shrink back
from his former examination. It is manifest that if in
env essential point a witness contradicts the esidenee
be had previously given, and is at variance with line-
! self, he is a witness on whom you Can plaee nu reliauce
at all. " Now Ajoeci." said he, " left the service of
the Princess, because she had bail people shout her ''

to own whether after all this grnaiisness, lie last not
made another application, the mile answer that rwild be
got from him was " Non mi rioatroloil" This last Nnn
ati rhandor," is a proof of the grossest perjury.—
After insisting on the effect which Majocces per•
jury roust have hail in developing :lie mystery of
his memory, Mr. Broegliam proeceiled to call the atten-
tion of their lernalehips, fur a rueinent, as he obeeresel,
fo other mittirsea, of much intiosortatice,those well-trained
witnesses, lie sai4, the mate and master of the polaere.
On the nature sof their evidence, and on else character of
the parties the Solicitor-tieneral 1134 dwelt with mach
romplacettee. • And truly they must, act:4mM% to their
own account, he truly respectable characters. He mho
was on the voyage hut a mate is now a fourth part owii,7
of the polacte, and for bin share of the loss he incurred
by his itheenec from his employ he received an allowan.:e
of 2.01101. a year. The master beeltles received no less
less than •2•1110 f. :s year. This, ND. Brougham nederta,,,,
to say, was a sum that was greater than the income
ui
any ship-owner of Jlessioa, whatever was the number
of his ship% enjoe;ml. If be r.stily was in the
enjoyment of each an inr e, he mix's' iive in a
palace in Meesine, etrangers would seek letters of r.-
trodnetio i •si him, When asked Aeon the small
once Intel,. by the Princess for ille charteriug of the
compared will the greater now advanced, he
ed thatsonie other recompense niielet be expected from
.pereonege alter exalted rank. And is not recompen-
the alert he hue now in view When ee,,,oinea it
o will be found- that his testimnny was ?to:touted on fe-
-1 venge. I haul hail 3 quarrel with Bergami. He stated
to Ins Ambassador that Bergattoi had kept hack fro o
! him the snot of 1,300/. On account of this lie complained
both of the littera and her Chamberlain; and now add-,
that Ire has conic to Jet:elite to see after the reraet•re o:
his motley ; and I dare say, observed Mr. Brougham.
he thonebt he %haat not succeed the worse for time evi-
dence he had given. With respect to the coincide:l,e
of evidenee on the part of the master and the mate, it may
he reload:ea, that the circumetauce of a Piincess sitting
on a gun, with the aceonspanintents related, is not
ari
iuritlent so common as that the highest particular shott.d
be forgotten. Yet the master and the mate differ In
their accounts, of this most materially. The mate says,
the Princess was sitting ton a gun, with Bergami, asi
they were supporting one another. The master
she was slAitig near the mast, and sitting oti his knee.
lint said not one word about kissing. Did they Speae
of the site time ? If they could he believed at all, t! •
dial ; for the master said, the mate saw it. And new,
what think you of the master? lie was a man of
strictness of etrailuet, and his mate so pure a petit',
and Naples and Messina such a gar•len of Eden, that
whin he saw the Prins OM% this situation, he told the
mate, because bee his distant relation, to seer await.
Ile never wars the Princess, or the guilty pair indica!ed
a wish for him to go ; hut it Was the master who urged
