Statement ofthe Case.

The Attorney General, at the COM
mand of their Lordships, now proceeded
as follows, TO lay before them the facts
against the Queen, which he was IN
structed he should prove in evidence.
In 1914 her majesty thought proper,
from reasons operating in her own mind,
to leave this kingdom, and not from conf
pulsion. When she left this country
she was accompanied by persons ofhigh
rank, as princess ought; she was &C
companied by Ladies Lindsay and
Forbes; the hon. Keppel Craven, and
Sir William Cell. Her majesty went
TO Milan, and there took Bergami int
her service as footman, or valet de
chambre. About fortnight after she
took this person into her service, she
went TO Naples. VIM. Austin was one
of her majesty's suit, he was quite lad,
and he slept in the same room with the
Queen. Bergami, the courier, was
among the rest of the domestics; and
slept in part of the house distinct from
that where here majesty slept. A short
time prior to the 9th of November IN
that year, psSSarni waa directed to sleep
near the Queens room. Young Austin
was removed from her maiesty's cham
Der, as her majesty said, because he was
Of an age that it was proper that he
should be remove d.-On the night ofthe
9th of November, her majesty went to
1hc Opera at Naples, and returned early.
Her majesty's female attendant noticed
that her conduct was very extraordinary,
and excited her suspicious. Her ma
jesty knew that Bergami was in bed in
an adjoining room, and she should retire
early to bed, which she did do. On the
following morning this attendant of her
majesty found that her majesty's bed had
not been slept in, and that there were
impressions in Bergami's bed of two
persons having slept in it. On the fol-
lowing morning she was inaccessible to
visitors, and she remained late in the
apartment with Bergami. From this
night he dated the commencement OF the
long course of adultery carried on by the
Queen and Bergami. After this Ber-
gami's conduct became naughty, and he
acted towards his fellow servants very
differently from what he formerly did.
On a subsequent night her majesty gave
a masked ball, not at her own house, but
in the neighborhood, and changed her
dress during the ball, and Bergami as
sisted her majesty in exchanging her
dress to "the Genius of History"
This dress was most indecent; and
Bergami accompanied her majesty Sc
cond time to the ball. Her majesty re-
TUNED home from the ball, again chang
ed her dress from Genius of History
to that Of a Turkish peasant, and Ber-
gami was dressed as peasant of Tur-
key, and accompanied her again to the
ball. 1t was noticed that Bergami and
the Queen generally rose in the morning
at the same time; and her majesty
generally break tasted with him in Sc
cluded apartments; at this time Berga-
mi was still the courier, and mental
servant. 1t was also observed by per-
sons OF rank in her majesty's suit, that
Bergaml and the Queen walked on a
terrace arm in arm, together. Bergami
had such an influence over her majesty
that he prevailed upon her to take per-
con into her service; and this person
would prove that more than once, at
night this Bergami did go to her ma
jesty's chamber, and heard this fellow
kissing her majesty. (This produced
an extraordinary sensation in the house,
Her majesty soon afterwards quilted
Naples and Lady Elizabeth Forbes re-
MANNED at Naples, and Lady Charlotte
Lindsay quilted her majesty at Leghorn
in March 1878. Four of her maiesty's
English suit quilted at Naples. This
circumstance spoke volumes, he could
not help believing that it arose from their
having Witnessed improper familiarities
between her majesty and Bergami.-
There was masquerade al the Theatre
st. Carlo at Naples, her majesty thought
proper to so, not with the English ladies
of high rank but with two domestics, the
courier Bergami, and the file de cham
Der, Dumont. When they entered the
theatre, their dresses excited much dis
gust, and from the expression of feeling
against her, she was compelled to retreat
with her domestics and go home before
the entertainment concluded. Soon after,
her majesty went from Naples to Genoa
on board the Florinda. At Genoa the
familiarities between the Queen and
Bergami increased and the bed in which
the Queen slept was observed by the
chamber maid to have not been used or
ruffled in the least, and did not require
making up. Bergami was always Sc
lected to sleep near to her maiesty's
