.remained in the anti-room. lie remained there about'
three quarters of an hour. lie then came out alone, and
the Princess followed in two or three minutes. Trey !
went down stairs, as witness supposes to the ball, and
in about three quarters of an hour the Princess returned
to the anti-room. Witness then described the dress of
her Royal Highness. Iler anus were hare, her bres..ts
bare, and her drapery was such as is commonly used on
similar occasions. She did not observe whether her
arms and breasts were petectly bare or nut. The
Priuceas then changed her dress a third time, and wit-
ness went into the dressing-room to assist. Ilex Royal
liighess was then dressed something like a Turkish
easant. In going out into the anti-room witness
t ien saw Bergami also dressins, himself like a
Turk. The Princess then went down stairs under

scended to the Pit. Der Itoyal Highness wore a large
red clo•ik, and Bergami had on a red domino and a large
hat. When in the pit they were surrounded by many
ugly masks who made a great noise and hissed them.

us. and we hail great difficulty to withdraw; at last we
tweet into a small room. _ _

IV.ts there any thing particular in the dress her Royal
Highness wore?-11e dress was very ugly (laid)—mon-
Lori Viscount HAMPPEN here interposed, and sail
that the Interpreter had nut given the witness's meaning,
which was that the dress was rather indecent.
Mr. MUM:GUAM said, it was had enough that an ille-
gal question should be put, but much worse that one of
their Lordships, one of the Judges, should interfere to
put a construction upon the answer of a witness, different
troiu that giveu lry the interpreter. and which every one
oho knew the language must know that it wools) not
bear: A Noble Lord took upon himself—(order, order,
order :).
Lord Viscount IlssteDEN thought the words meant
indecent. He wished the matter explained.
The Los CHANCELLOR said, if any Lord thought
the answer ambiguous, there would be a time hereafter
for hint to ask question!.
Lord Viscount IJANIPPEN apologised to the House.

ness hail nut %Meted. _ _
