The LORD-CuawcaLton.—lt has been repeatedly
suggested, in the course of this proceeding, that the
party examining should be informed whether such
communications are written and confidential ones. If
so, no person has a right to ask such a question as that
now propounded.
The Witness.—All the information I have received
from Col. Browne is in writing.
The Loan CIIANCIILLOR.--Then that writing can-
not stand part of the evidence, unless the Counsel
choose to call the witness so wwiteess of Ms side.

The Loan CaamcaLLoa.:—lt is gaits clear fist you
cannot ask him.

Mr. lieounnau.—Will the house allow me, then, to
ask the witness another question?
The LORD CH•NCIILLOIL•••-.11% point 'o( form, the
question ought to be put, my Weds, thrimgh me. I
have not interfered before, becatig it appeared to me
that Counsel on either side weisinterestethito make
oat or to destroy the necessity of the exami,eation of
Rakeili. lint I must object to thr whole consse of the
present examination. Further thin that necessity of
' examination, or 'otherwise, they cannot go. If you
cannot make it out by parole evidelrejut.only by the
contents of a confidential_coununitherme, it;u cannot
make it out at all. •
31r. listoutAtass.—Do you not shliosithat Rastelli
never knew of the witnesses whom NO broil/Oat over,
uor their families, until le brought them kerb; and
then that he knew the witnesses lirn3usstor sight
only ran I know this? •
Ile has sworn so at this very ple.gut—Tiat was in
the evitlt nee.
Have you or the agents of this Bilinot read,or heard
the evidence of Rastelli P-1 hare. •
And did you not hear Raskin swear.thal elk of the
witnesses that came over be never saw or eve• any
thing of?-1 did. . •*I
And did yon sot swear that the reasvfor-rarling
Rastelli was, that be was acquainted withetbe faustßigs of
those persons ?
The LORD CHANCILLOIII thought that tkt.p..lllT
Rastelli's evidence wbkh referred to this point, u,lll be
read. •c•
Mr. BROURRAID thin read that part of the evidence,
viten: he said be knew some of the witnesses, sore ho
pet. 1 was not present when the whole of Itaatel7ll's
tier foment. Rat 1 spiels be Nal*
that wain ilastetli had not merely a reference to those
families who bad come over.
Then does witness mean to swear that Rastelli had to
go round to all the families of those who hail come, and
those who might come ?—He was to go to the families
of those who same under the directions of Col. Itrowst.
He had no Instructions as to those who micht come.

PARTNERSHIPS DISSOLVED.

Will the witness tell as nearly as possible how many
witnesses have come over in support of this Bill f—a
cannot tell tautly.
Will you swear there were.not 40?
The ATTORNEV 01101 ORA I. objected to this question.
I wish to ask whether Hastelli remained here the
whole time, between the riot at Dover and the time of
his examination I—No ; he went to Holland.
Will you swear that be did not return to Milan, after
the riot at Dover ?—1 have not seen him since.
Will Mr. Powell state precisely the language and
awns lie used to Rastelli in sending him out of the
country I—l mentioned before the directions ! gave him.
Did Rastelli say any thing about returning ?
He said be would come bark, as soon as he could. I
knew he would be a most important witness in the House
of Commons, in case the Bill would go down there.
The ATTORNIT-OKNERA L begged permission to ask
Mr. Powell a few questions.
Was Mr. Powell present in this House, when the Ar-
vonstar-llsszaat. for the Queen. stated that he had no
other questions to ask Mr. Hameln 7—l was, and bad
not the least idea that he would call him.
Has any communication been made by the Queen's
Counsel or Attorney, that they would want to call Ras-
teUi l--Certainly not, if any such communication had
been made, no consideration would induce me to send
him away.
Lord LAUDERDA LI —Wall not Rastelli one of the-wit-
nesses at the riot at Dover I—l understood he was.
Lord fiascos thought that any thing that hr limier-
stood from another could not be admitted as evidence.
The Chancellor thought it might.
Was not Rastelli himself maltreated at Dover I—l un-
derstood they were all maltreated.
The witness then withdrew.
Earl (lacy thought it extremely probable the house
would concur with his Noble Friend in the propriety of,
preserving on their journals a record on this testimony,
as a part of their judicial proceedings, and nut that
it should be kept in a separate form : for what was
the state of the case ? A complaint was made of an
obstruction to the orders of the holm.; and the house
proceeded to inquire into the circumstances of that
alleged obstruction. It was important, therefore, that
their journals should contain a record of what they
had done, and that it should be seen hereafter they
had discharged their duty by examining into all the
circumstances of the complaint.
Lord LAUIIIIIDALS then rose for the purpose of moving
that the evidence of Mr. Powel should be printed sepa-
rately from the zest of the minutes.
Lord EitetilKE thought that the House ought not now
to declare an act which they had permitted to be used
by printing it separately. The object of calling Mr.
Powell, was to examine, whether having committed an
act of a serious nature, be deserved to be punished. The
Noble Lord was anzious that theexamination of M,. Powell
should be expunged, because it had not been on the issue
of this proceeding. He (Lord &skive) was of opinion
that the same rule would apply to most of the questions
Raced by his noble and learned Friend.
Lord.LAUDERDALB said that his relations for keeping
this examination separate was, that since the consrneacts-
i went of this proceeding, this Mouse had endeavoured So
assimilate it to a Court of law. Bet be conceived that
all the rules of a coast of law had. been .vi6latod.
