Witness was standing near her Royal Hlghness's bed. His seen Bergarifti come out of his room and come through the passage. Bergami was going towards the room of her Roy¬ al Highness, lie was not dressed- When the witness said he was not dressed what did she mean ? What had he on ? lie was not dressed at all—(a lau^h.) He had slippers on. Witness saw no stock¬ ings. He had nothing on but his shirt. The Princess was in bed. When witness saw LJprgami in the manner described she ran away ; she escaped by a little door near her,out of the apartment of the Princess. Made no observation with re¬ gard to the slcte of the small travelling bed on the subsequent nights. More than one person appeared to have slept in the large travel ling bed. Always saw it the same thing (inemc chose) on sub¬ sequent nights at Ifaples. It was the witness's business at Naples to make the Princess's bed at the latter end of the pe¬ riod. Made the small travelling bed.— Cannot remember that she made it every¬ day. It was made about the usual time. llemewh^n a marked hall given by Mu¬ latto her Royal Highness—in a house tAar the sea.—Her Royal Highness dress¬ ed herself for the hall in a small room of the house whore the ball was, and. first appeared in the character of a country girl in the neighbourhood of Naples, it was witness's business to assist her Roy¬ al Highness in putting on the dress of that character. Witness went to (hat houce. Bergami also went wttfa her.— Witness assisted her Royal Highness to dress herself in tr»e chnractci of a Nea¬ politan peasant. Her Royal Highness remained in that character about an hour, when she returned lor th * purpose of changing her dress. Her Royal High¬ ness then look the dress of the geniu- of history. Her Royal Highness charged her dress entirely for that purpose. Wit¬ ness did not assist. Bergami assisted lu changing her Royal Highness'.-. dress.— Mr. Williams having a»ked if she knew this of her own knowledge ; witness re¬ plied—Bergami went into the room with her Royal Highness, into the room where th«j toilette was, with her Royal High¬ ness.—Cannot remember precisely how long Bergami remained—About three 2«*-»*«ripf an hour. rj?~t-------:--------- first, and her Koysll Highness came out after. Bergami came out a very little time before her Royal Highness—two or three minutes.—Her Royal Highness ■went down stairs to go to the ball in the same chararter, and was absent about three quarters of an hour. At the end of that period she returned into the anti- room.— Her Royal Highness arms were bare, her breast bare, aud the drapery was as is usual in the character. Did not obserre whether the arms we.re com¬ pletely naked. Her Royal Highness returned after the second character into the dressing room to change her dress. Witness went into the dressing room to assist her Royal Highness. Her Royal Highness took the third time, a character something like a Turkish peasant. Bfcr- gami was in the anti-room, fn going oat of the room witness saw him dressed like a Turk. 8a 5* the Princ'ess going down stairs to the ball in this dress* Ber- garni went with her. They went down stairs together. The Princess was on Bcrgami's arm. Bergami was still a Courier.—The Princess returned from the ball immediately.—Dont remember whether Bergami returned with fhePrjo- ccss or before* Witness saw her Royal Highness before she went away home.— Does not remember whether she saw her Royal Highness aflcr Bergami returned from the ball. There was a garden be¬ longing to this house aud a terrace.— Witness once saw the Princess walking there with Bergami. The Princess was on the arm of Bergami. The Princess was in the habit of breakfasting Jn a small cabinet in»ar Bcrgami's room. Dontrr- collect whether lies' Royal Highness breakfasted alone or vith any person.— Dont remember that shecftas ever in th> T^om where her Royal hness was at breakfast* Remembers an "accident that happened to Bergami at Naples. There ■was asofa in the cabinet, but does not know whether it was brought in on this occasion. Knows the theatre of St.Carlos— went there with her Royal Highness in a hackney carriage. Bergamr went with her Royal Highness in the same carriage. Her Royal Highness got in through the terrace in the garden. The night was very gboray aod it rained—went high to the top of the theatre—to the saloon where they walked. Her Royal High¬ ness was dressed in a red cloak—-Ber¬ gami was dressed in a red Domino with a large hat. Descended afterwards into the pit, where many ujly masks sm- rounded us and made a great noise and hissed-—we had great difficulty to with¬ draw—we got into a small room. Her Royal Highness9* dress was very ugly Bergami did not serve daring that period. J While at Naples witness observed that Ihe Princess and Bergami were very fa¬ miliar towaids one another—that fami¬ liarity commenced from the moment they reached Naples. The fervants in general were not in the habit of going into her Royal Ilighncf/s room without knocking, unlcfs fent For by her Royal Highnefs. Bergami never knocked when he entered. No part ot her Royal HighnelVs KngUfh fuite left her while at Naples, fonfic of them re¬ mained when fhe went away. Her Royal ! Ilighnefs went from Naples to Rome—of four gentlemen whom the witnefs had mentioned, Dr. Holland accompanied her Royal Highnefs—Lady Elizabeth Forbes remained at Naples—Lady Charlotte Lindfay was with her Royal Ilighnefi at Rome—as far as witnefs remembers Lady C. Lindfay joined her Royal Highnefs towards the latter end of the time at Na¬ ples. Her Royal Ilighnefs went from Rome to Civita Vecchia and Genoa— witncU remembers the houfe occupied by her Royal Highnefs at Genoa. Mr. Han- namjjined her Royal Highnefs's fuite at Genoa—witnefs does not know any other. Lady Charlotte Lindfay left at Leghorn— witnefs obferved the fituation of the beds of bet Royal Highnefa and uf Bergami at Genoa—they were very near—weie fepa- rated by a tingle room—there was the luggage of her Royal Ilighnefs in that room, and (lie dreffed there—there was-a communication between that room and the room of Bergami—her Royal High¬ nefs and Bergami continued to fleep there while at Gci.oa—her Royal Hlghne's breakfalled in a fmall cabin at the end of the faloon—Bergami was wiih her—he was then courier — Louis Bergami and Theodore Majocci waited at brcakfall — Louis Bergami was Bartolo.ro Bcrgami's buthir. Witntfti lemrnih'ra xhc garden at Genoa—has very often Icen her Royal Highnefs walking in the fhriibhery there— Bergami was always with her—witnefs did nor obferve whether they walked fepa- ratcly—witnefa had lomething to do with tfee bedo at Genoa till the time her filler anived.

It was the buli- nefs of the witnefs during that period tc fnake the bed of the Pri.icefs—laid :he cufhions and fpread the clothes, but very rarely made the bed entirely becaufe there was no need of it. It wa? generally made when witnefs went for the firlt time into her Royal Highnef/s bed room. The Princefs remained at Genoa nearly two months, during which time Luigi Berga¬ mi entered into her fervice—remembered J&uiftnw}' ihewaM JitwadWiyv aru' nmAwd at Geno3, but does not know whether fhe came into the fervice of her Royal High- nek- She came exprefsly from Milan to her Royal Highnefs, and remained during the reft of the time the Princefs continued at Genoa—knew Bcrgami's mother— they called her Norma (an Italian word which the interpreter faid fign:tied grand¬ mother)—flic continued to rclide while the Princefs was at Genoa. There was a little child, the daughter of Beiganii, called Victorinc, and about two or three years of age. While ar Genoa the Pi in cefs went to look at a houfe in the neigh- boihood, because fhe wifhed to live there. The reafon the Princess afligned forwifh- ing to take it was hecnufe It was further from Genoa and the Englifh. The i'lin- cefs went from Genoa to Milan—went two or three days after 10 a houfe In the place Boromeo. The Princefs was joined at Genoa by lady Charlotte Campbell, whofe three daughters came alfo, but they were in a private houfe.
