ed witnesses, was intensiml to be the ground work of sus-
picion against his illustrious client, all those disgusting
indecent sets sworn to by them, ought to have been corro-
borated by souse of the twenty-two persons who walked

ed to have taken place. But above all they ought to

they bad intended to make out an honest case against'

He could meet general assertion by general assertion of

English was notorious, but he Aosta just mention one I

Imolai speak to trilling eirenonstances oilier Royal High-
ness's journey, but not to those which were likely to
fix a man's mem try. For instance, he could not give
the remotest idea of how lung her Royal Highness tea-
yelled on the average every day, and he had care-
fully suppressed the fact that she was so exhausted,
by fatigue, that she constantly rrynirrd soots one

could he called upon to argue that this was not a proof
of adultery. Conial any person he so uneanalid, so un-
just, as to my, he believed that adultery hail been rum-
milted under that tent by her Royal Highness, after it
had been proved that neither herself nor Bergami were
undressed any part of the time? Ile defied any swan to I
lay his hand stpots his heart, and say, be believed that
the charge of adultery bad, to his mind, been established
from this vire stanee. Ili. now came to the Wittily of
the polacre journey; anal he came to it with confisiesice,
for he would contend, that there was no more ground •
for supposing that her Royal Highness hail there coin- '
mined ailidirry. than there was fur bringing that charge
against any o(the members of either of their Lordship's
leseilies, upon the ground that in the absence of their
leardships, it was possible they might bare committed •
adultery f The worst of all falsehoods was that whirls
was mingled in some measure with the truth. It was
the most dangerous kind of falsehood, because it was
the most difficult to detect. Ile trusted, Itowerer,thal-Im4
sitonid satl sfy Mel r Lordships, that although the proseen-
tor's facts upon this part of the case were partially true, the
coaeinsion attempted to lw drawn from them was false. '
If there was truth in argument and justice is inference
be would fearlessly contend that up to her Royal High-
ness's entry into that polacre, there was no ground upon
which the purity of her character could he impeached.
What took place after her leaving the polarre, be should
umoreminntelyiaquireafterwards, but at present he should
confine himself to the pilaw. In it case like the present,
where the consequences were terrible ; were no leas than
degradation, dethronement, and perpetual infamy, the
proof required should be the most condoning; lint here
he denied that any thing in the shape of inference could
be drawn so as to assert the existence of an adulterous

intercourse. In the first instance, her Royal Highness
had slept below the sleek ; but in consequence of the in-
coavenieoce occasioned by the subsequent introduction
of the animals, she slept on the deck itself, and he admit-
ted that lingual slept under the same tent ; bat what'
was here called a tent was nothing less than a large
awning of equal breadth with Ilse ship it.elf. That fact,
however, was porposely suppressed by the witness for
the prosecution. Here he would pause. and ask any
man of 1110110011 sense, whether it was probable, be had
