Vith the confectioner, and she did not wish that such quarrels should happen in her house.—Did she state any other cause of her dissatisfaction ? No.—Did you make any reply to the Princess ? I replied that I did not think that cause sufficient for my discharge.—Did she make any allusion to your former con¬ duct previous tc those quarrels ? The Princess always showed her satisfaction of my conduct.—Did she make any pro¬ mise of a certificate of good conduct? We did not talk about any certificate. Here the examination by the Peers terminated, and the Attorney-General put some questions to the witness, thro' the Lord Chancellor. (Exhibiting a paper to the witness.) Do you know the paper I now hold in my hand to be the hand-writing of Schi¬ avini ? As far as I know,it i*. Have you ever seen him write ? I have re¬ ceived letters from him several times. I think it is his writing. I am sure of it. Mr. Brou<*hajn then put some questions to the witness relative to the answer he had given to the question, as to what was the language of the Prinfcess in the Court when she spoke respecting the virgins in the French language.—The witness re¬ plied, u CPttoit a cct effet" and being further pressed, said " Cast ie fait" A conversation arose upon this' point, which terminated in the witness persisting in his former statement. The examination of the witness was here concluded. The Lord Chancellor laid he had a communication to make to the Counfel on both (lies, relative to one of the witnefTes for the Queen, whofe indifpofition rendered it unable for him to attend. He wifhed to know whether there was any objection to the witnefs being examined by commiflion abroad ? He did not wifh to receive an anfwer this evening, but the fubje£t would be mentioned again to¬ morrow morning. He thought it neces- f?ry to ft ate this circumftancc for their conGdeiation. Robert Phaer, a cafhicr in the banking- houfc, of Courts and Co. was called to prove the fignatureof the Princefs to a certificate of chara&er given to the witnefs, Sacchi He was aflced by Mr. Brougham to prove the hand-writing of the King to a paper handed tp him, but he was unable to do it. The certificate, dated Pcfaro, 5th November 1817, v/as then read. It gave Sacchi a mod ex ccllent charadter for zeal, afliduky, and fidelity. The Attorney.General then offered a certificate, given to Majocci* written for him by Schiavini, and fome difcuffiun took place on the queftion, whether it ought to be received, Mr. Brougham infilling that it did not appear in the evi dence that Schiavini was authorized to give it —In the end it was rejected. Proposed Postponement.—The Attorney- General faid that he had an application of conilderable tnrjMJ4t«*in.c to make. Four perfons relident at Lucerne had £■* o^t to give evidence, and had proceeded as far as auvis, wnen reports reached them of the ill treatment received by certain witnefTes at Dover. They became alarmed, and, before a magiftrate at Bauvis, made a deposition that, in confequence of appre- henfions for their lafety, they had returned. Frem (*H66ttU letter* had been received on Monday laft, dated 28th of Auguft, Hating that the Four witneftes would let out on the following day. It was there¬ fore concluded that they were now ac¬ tually on their journey, and the proba¬ bility was, that in a few days they would arrive to give evidence. Having ftated thefc circumftances, he hoped that the Houfe would confider a fhort delay proper and reafonable. Mr. Brougham refilled this application with ftrong arguments, that there was no ground for it. This profecution (he called it fo for fhortnefs, though, tor ought he knew, it might be an amicable fuit) hid been long pending. For months and years the other fide had known what was to be brought forward. Thret weeks had been allowed to the Attorney- General, notwithstanding the earned prayer of the Queen, that it might be commenced instanter ; and although three or four days delay after the 17th of Aug. would have been mod eflcntial to the health of the Queen's Attorney and Solicitor General, yet they were told th;:t no petition to that effedi could be received in that Houfe. Lord Eldon was not willing to grant the propdfed delay. The Attorney-General replied, complaining of the conduA of the Queen's Counfel, particularly in calling infinuatioris againll the witnefses. He maintained there Was nothing extraordinary in the requeft he had made. The Lord Chancellor then fpoke again ft the delay. Mr. Biougham thought this principle repugnant to every fentiment of juftice. Some further dis- cuflnn took place, and the further debate on the fubjc£t wan poftponed until the morning of the 7th inltant. September 7, (nineteenth day.) The Attorney-General addrefTcd the Houfe to the following effeft :—My Lords, I think it right and proper at once to (late to your Lordfhips, that within the laft half hour I have received dis¬ patches from Milan, hy which I find that a longer delay than that which I antici¬ pated when 1 made my application to your Lordfhips yetterday, mull elapse he fore the wuneftes to whom I alluded can poffibly arrive. Under thofe circum¬ ftances, 1 have thought it proper, in juttice to myself inJ your Lordlhips, to make thia ftatement, and to beg leave to with draw my application. The Lord Chancellor.—In aflcinpf your Lordfhips if ft is y^ur pleafure that the application mad? yefterday byhhiMajcfty's Attorney-General (hall be withdrawn, 1 maybe permitted to fay, that the Attorney General having dated in the opening of his cafe, circumftances which he conceived could be fubftantiated by the witnedes to whom he alluded, would not have done his duty to this Houfe, if he had not fubmitted to your Lordfhips the applica¬ tion which he did fubmit to it. The application was then allowed to be with¬ drawn. Mr. Brougham—My Lords as the Attorney- ^oueral has now, I presume closed his case, un¬ less what may be elicited in a further cross-exa¬ mination of the witnesses should seem to him to require the production of fre»h witnesses, I beg leave to rail only one witness, Theodore Majoc- chi, again to the bar, for the purpose of putting to him one or two questions Theodore MajOCClli, called. Was acquainted with C;p<ar Cavazzi; he was an Italian, and now resided in London ; he is a Jeweller; he ha* a brother in Milan. Witness dined with him twice or thrice; it was after the King's death. Witney showed a letter to Cavazzi ; it was a despatch which he had received to cany to Lord Stewart. Witness received a number of Napo¬ leons to pay iheexpenccs of Ilia journey. Did not recollect the exact number, lie counted SO in gold. Witness had no recollection or rolling Cavazzi that he bad received more than he asked. The witness wasavke^if he knew Joseph Gaze*ti — I do not know him. I came here in a sac!:, and I icent away in a trunk. The witness was asked to recollect him«"lfs and to say if he did not re- menifVr Gazctri. Be iras often at the rice din¬ ners, atCavazzVs; there were m&ftjy Italians who crime, sat down, and dined; witness recol¬ lected one who served him as a guide, but never asked h:m his name ; had heard he was a carpen¬ ter ; was with bin; at the King's funeral. On that day witness's companion had letters- to de¬ liver; called at the residence of two gentlemen, but neither was in. Witness was a-Jced whether a remind was at the door of either of the houses at Which he had called to deliver letters. The first day he came to England he had letters, and eentinels were at the door of one of the houses ; he was told it was the Kind's residence. Witr BCSS had been several times to that house and at all times left his t.tquth th place at the gate. Witne£5 once made an appointment to Mr Pow¬ ell ar his Chambers in Lincoln Inn. At one time Mr, Powell gave him a note to take to the house, aL whieli were eentinels. Witness had commen¬ ced with Mr. Powell In relation lothe (Jueen; \'. wa* at Milan. Witness can neither read nor write. Witness know Mr. Lomr. he wa* the Landlord *it tUc (*i«*W Ta««*fi. w.-'.*^- em¬ ployed Mr. Long to write two letters for him; one to Mr. Hyatt, and one ro Mrs. Black well, [Here Mr. Bronghaia asked lite witness If he knew the letters an i their content?. The Lord Chancellor said that as the witness could neither read nor write, he must be questioned as to what he directed to be said.] Th~ examination con¬ tinued. Witness desired Mr. Long to write U\ Mrs. Clack well, and >ay thai he had got a pltsce, and wa*. It* set otTimuv iiiate!y For Vienna. The witness was asked if ever he proposed to marry Mrs. Blackwcll—Yes, he wanted to marry Mrs. Blackwell; he wanted to marry Mrs. Hughes he wanted to marry every body ID the house. \V it- ness was now re-examined by the attorney-gene¬ ral. The note witness ieceived from Mr Powell, .a as, he believed, to obtain a passport from the great house. Witness went to the Austrian Am¬ bassador, and after he had showed ihe paper, he obtained a passport. The first letter which wit¬ ness delivered at the great house, he brought with him from Italy. Witness, on being asked In Earl Grey how he kept an sfecount of his travelling e.\pencestsince he had staled he could neither read nor write, said—" 1 always write my name very ill,** Karl O.iy then called upon the Clerk to refer to the 141st page of the minutes, aud to read the two successive questions and answers. These questions and answers referred to the time the witness was mhngland, aud vVhen he went r.ite* Mr. nTaus?crvH:r. lie, at that period, was -tared to have said, that he had not the hook in which he out the circnmdtanco* d»wo. A consi¬ derable degree of confu.-iot] prevailed tis to the meaning the witness W ished tocouve;, ; when ai length tnis question was put. Did you mean today that you had not the Look in which yon put this down—or that you had DO book at all ? Interpreter—(holing up his hands, and in r feeling of every p«ei-::, :i,- K^ufe, that no Opinion fhoul j bc foimed upon the evit dence until the ^olccsfe was concluded; and that, if pofTi^e> tjiey (hould keep their own minds clear 0jf a]| impreffions, and to confider that the whole of the prcftnt evi¬ dence might be hereafter repelled, when thofe who were cntru(led with her Majes¬ ty's defence ca^ tf> produce their evi¬ dence. Having ft^ed thus much he would obferve, in anfvv.cr t0 the quellion put to him, that It wa<, Jmpofiihlc to make any alteration in the bill until the cafe was foreclofed, and i|lt* bill Went into commit¬ tee. He had ft^ted at the commencement of this buGnefjj, what it was important that he (hould now explain didinAly, as many reports and infinuations hnd gone abroad on the frbje&. His flatement was, that the cLje£l of this proceeding was public juftice—was to uphold the honour of the countryf and not to reKevC the il- luftrious perfon whofe name wzs in fome meafure connected with it; and that it was for their lordfhips to deal with th^ cafe upon that principle when it came be¬ fore them. In addition to this he would now ftate di(hV\ly, 0n the part of the il- luftrious perfon, that he had do wifh that any meafure which the houfe might think fit to adept, titould operate is a perfonal relief to himfelf. He (the Earl of Liv¬ erpool) took, a* a fair inference from that ftatement, that if there was a ftrong feel¬ ing in the houfe or in the country, found¬ ed upon religious or other confiderntions, that the claufe alluded to ought not to pals- no objeflion would be made to its omifHon, and he would be perfectly ready to withdraw it. lie was anxious above all things to fet the feeling of the illuftri- ous individual in its fair light before their lordfhips, which was, a& he had described, a wifh for no manner of relief for himfelf. In that view of the queftion. therefote, he (the Earl r»f Liverpool) would not prefs die clauf; upon their lordfhips, if there swp7*a**Ai»disV^!i';n *'» r?M \r. Earl Grey concurred with the Noble Farl in mainhimttg that they ought to keep their minds mbiafled until the whole of the ca<e waa etne through. He would not prefume, at rhat moment, W judge upon orie fide cr 'he other as to the refult of the prefent proceeding- and therefote he thought that 3 more ill-timed applica¬ tion never wa3 mm?e than that which the Noble Earl (Lorffiale) hadjuft propofed. The anfwrr ol the Ncble Far! ( Liverpool) wa<8 pcifectly falif-icloTy, for, it was im- po'flible that they could make any altera¬ tion in the hill a: prefent, or direct the Counfel to limit their defence to a bill of pains and penalties alone. They muft proceed as on a bill of divorce. He a- greed alfo with the Noble F.arl as to his ftatement ox what had fallen from him on a former cccaficr ; and he was glad to hear repeated wha" he wis always perfuarfed of from the bcgin't'ng—thit perfotia- relief formed no part of the objeQ of the high & illuftrio'js charaft.'t with regard to the bill. but he wrfuld repeat whac he himfelf had faid on a former occ3fion, always guard¬ ing againll the fappnfitiofl that he at¬ tempted to give iit»7 opinion en the cafe— he would repeat, that if ultimately their decifion (hoold b:» that her Majefty had (o conducted herMf as t) incur the pain and penalty of degradation, it would be ance. lie rofe merely to exprefs his as- tonifhment at the courie iccommended by rhc noble carl. He was fure that his own feelings had dilated the fuggeltion, and that it did not proceed from a communi¬ cation with 3ny other perfons. He did not mean any difrefped towards any one, but nothing could be more improper, than to make any propofal which might have the c fie ft of fmoothing the way to condemnation. The queftion now before their lordfhips, was the proof of the pre¬ amble of the bill, but as yet the evidence was only half given. Until her Majcfty had made her defence, and the bill was in committee, fuppofing it to proceed, no alteration could be made. The Lord Chancellor communicated to Mr. Brougham, that the houfe wiflied to be informed whether he waa ready to pio- ceed with his defence, cr to claim the de¬ lay propofed. Mr. iiiougham faid, that fur rounded as he was with peculiar and rifing difficul¬ ties, and threatened and menaced with the introduction of a New Bill—[cries of or¬ der, order, order !] The Lord Chancellor—A queftion has been put to you by the houfe, and their lordfhips require: an anfwer. Mr. Brougham—My Lord6, 1 under- ftood that counfel were now at the bar. The Lord Chancellor—Counfel were ordered to withdraw, Mr. Lrougham, and if they cannot appreciate that courtefy, with which the Houfe is accuftomed to treat them, by not requiring that they mould leave the Houfe, the regulation will, for the future, be ftriftly enforced. Mr Crougham—My Lords, I am call¬ ed upon to give an anfwer to a very feri- ous and momentous queftion, and it is quite impoffible that I'can reply to it by a yea or a nay. I was about to date to your Lordfhips great and growing diffi¬ culties with which we have to contend, and to throw myfelf on your lordfhips' mmp^flloT) ceed in the defence, or ask for any de- The Lord Chancellor—You fnould ap- I 'ay- peal to the juftice of the houfe, and not to «* Brougham—To proceed. The Earl of Liverpool obferved, that whether the learned counfel for the Queen chofe to procccJ with her Majefty's cafe0 or to requeft an adjournment, for the pur. pofe of more effectively going on with itn the Houfe in either cafe would be bound in juftice to agree to his requeft. H?f however, having adopted neither of thef? courfes, but wifhing to make his ftatemen: firftp and then to poftpone calling his wi:. nefTes to a future period, it muft, of courfe, reft with the Houfe to fay, after taking that propolition into confederation, whether they would accede to it or not. The Ifoufe was about to adjourn, wlita Earl Grey obferved, that he apprehend¬ ed there was fome miftake on the part of the noble and learned lord, and of the no¬ ble earl, as to the real nature of the re¬ queft of the learned attorney-geaeral of the Queen. As he (lord Grey) under- ftood, it was not to make the ftatement, and then to bring forward a part of the evidence and poftpone the reft to a future period, but that after making his ftate¬ ment he fhould have the option of either bringing forward evidence then, or of poft- poning the evidence altogether to a future period. (Mr. Crougham bowed atfent ) Some further cor.verfation took place, the ref;ilt of which was, an undcrllandmg that Mr. brougham would be full called upon to ftate the courfe which he was de* firous of purfuing, and that then the Houfe would take into confideration the propriety of agreeing or not to that pro¬ pofed courfe of proceeding. Adjourned till to-morrow. 020th day.) The Lord Chancellor came to the house at,half pa^t eleven, and prayers having been read, the names ot the Peers were called over. The Counsel then appeared at theBar. The Lord Chancellor.—Mr. Brough¬ am, I am directed by the House to in¬ quire whether it is your intention topro- tone of amusing a-ion^lim- ut,; " »• d litems in* !

From several of their Lordship—No, no—a common Ital.au provcib.—The question was not put. Lord Lauderdale wished that Ihe witness should be asked what he meant by the m-morable words, "Won mi riconlu." Their Lordship^ had been told that the expression had several meaning-, and it was important to know what it wa> the witness understood by it. Lord Holland baid, that the Noble Lord was striving at au impracticable object. Supposing the nan mi ricordo had a variety of meaning', it was impossible the House could know how to ap- plj these different meanings to the numberless in¬ stances where that expression was used in the c- \idence of the witness. Lord Lauderdale wiclMrewhti question. The witness Majocchi was now taken from Ihe Bar, and the counsel were ordered to withdraw. Mr. Brougham said it was not his intention to cross-examine any further. The Attorney-general then informed the house that Mr. Brougham having intimated that he had concluded his cross-examination of the witnesses, his Learned Friend (Ihe Solicitor General) was prepared 10 address their Lordships. [The following debate enfued immedi¬ ately after the Solicitor General had fin- ilhed his Ipeech 1 The Earl of Lauderdale wifhed to know, whether it was the intention of her majes¬ ty's counfel to aflc for any delay in order to fend for witnefTes, or to proceed imme¬ diately with the defence ? The Earl of Lonfdale fpoke in a very low tone of voice, from which we could with difficulty colled the following obfer* vations : — He truftcd, that as he was little in the habit of trefpaffing on their lord- fhips time, they would indulge him with a few words on the prefent occafion.— Their lordlhips would recoiled, that at the commencement of the prefent proceedings the Noble Earl ( Liverpool) at the head of hisMajelty's government had dated,that no objection would be made to the omiffion of the claufe enacting the divorce, and they had now arrived at that 11 age in which he hoped it would not be improper to affc what the determination of Minifters was upon that part of the fubjecll ? He thought it would be extremely deSrable to feparate the provilions of the Lill v.i:h a view to conclude that part which refer¬ red to the divorce, and confine the cou- fidcratiuu of the evidence to the other cbiufes. Where ofiences were C-tlUTgcd a- gatnft any individual, it was wroiw to ug- gravate the meafores of punilhment. rite Kail of Liverpool faid it was his decided feeling-, a& he was fure it was t*w m d if it was right to d}egrade her Mafefly fro the fitoation of (X^ Confort, it con not be right that 1^ ftould continue to be the wife of the K ingt He did not aficrt this tipon the prin^p^, 0f afTordiag pcrlon- al relief to the So^rejg^ but he thought it an abfurdity in ttrms to fay tjiat the Q*ieen fhould be C5.gra<]t;d( ao^ ycl ^ould continue the wife 0f tjlc ^jng> if tjiat was to be the cobfrfc pUrfucd, they fhould change t!ie title ^[ the meafure, and cill it a bill not only to degrade the Queen but to degrade t,lie Ki„g a!fo. If ever they fhould come t0 the confideration of that claufe, undcT the circumftances he- had ftated, it wotaJd be his duty to offer the objections thav fuggefted themfelvcsto his mind. In thc prrfent period of the proceeding, fnch ^ propofttion as that fug¬ gefted by the Noble Earl could have no tffed at all. It could have no effeft on the character of the bill, or on the duty which the counfel had to perform towards their illuftrions client. He, therefore, regretted much that the fubje<3 had been introduced. Whatever declarations the Noble Earl might think proper to make, they were only the declarations of an in- dividual ; and wl.ether that claufe was ul¬ timately to remain in the bill or not, it could only be difcufted in the committee. At prefent no alteration could be made upon tha declaration of any individual, Wtthcat argument to fupport it or difcre- tion to recommend it. The Earl of Lor.fdalc, in explanation, denied that he made any propofal to limit the proceedings of Ccunfc!. Karl Grey faid, that he underftood the noble earl to fuggeft that thecounfel (hould confine themfclves to the claufes tnflifting pain and penalty, to the exclusion of the c!at»fe o' divorce. The Earl of Liverpool confidered the queftion, though put before the counfel were called in, as not intended to affect their mode of proceeding. Earl Grey laid, he was furry if he had miftcprefented the noble lord, but be¬ thought, that if ever he had heard any thing piainly, the diftipcb'on was taken be¬ tween a bill of pains and penalties and a bill of divorce. The Marl of Doftoughmore thought it fearedy u\*ccfT.uy lo add a word to what had fallen from his nob1*: friend, with whom he always an reed with pleafure,an<] frsm he nevei diffeted but with iciudt- its compaflion. The Houfe is not accus¬ tomed to be addreJTed in this way. Mr. Crougham—Then I fhall put my¬ felf on my right ; I thought it mod re- fpe&ful to appeal to your compaflion, and for no other purpofeoid I ufe the expres- fion ; however, as you will have the lefs rrfpedful language, I muft adopt it. 1 ask from you juftice then, that as I haire had no means of preparation, while my opponents have had opportunities for months before, you will allow me till 12 o'clock to-morrow, which i» all the favor I ask. The Loid Chancellor—The houfe wifh to know if you will commence your cafe to-morrow, with a view to go through it, or if you intend to apply for delay ? Mr iirougham — My Lords, if I may bc permitted to fay fo, 1 feel myfelf in the fituation of a Counfel, and have a right to change my plan as circumftances may fugged. I appeal to fuch of your lordfhips as know any thing of Nil! Prius cafes, whether it is not cuftomary for counfel to wait the effed of their defence,before they determine whether they will produce evi- d-nce or not. No counfel before was ever fo placed t>n the rack. Permiflion has always been given to anfwer quam prlmum the cafe made on the other fide, and if he finds that he has not made the fmpreffion intended, he then a-ks lenve to call evidence, i think I fhould be wanting in fairuefs and candor, if 1 did not thus ftate to your lordfhips my prcfentiment, or what I con¬ fide! to be at leaft poffible. But I wifh your lordfhips to underftand at the fame time, that I not only have not the com¬ mand, but that I have not yet the per- mifiion of her Majefty to afk for any de¬ lay. Yet when you reflect on the pecu¬ liarities of her Majefty's cafe, and on the horrible profpec't before her, if you allow the defcriptions of the witnefTes to go out to the country unaccompanied by a fingle comment on the part of her Majefty's counfel, 1 cannot think that you will refolve to refufe this application. lie concluded hy obferving, that fhould it be their lord¬ fhips' pleafure not to hear him make his ftatement, it was nevertheless impoffible that on the part of his illuftrious client he could fubmit to have the load of calumny that had been heaped upon her unrcfuted, and he muft therefore wait a fhort time, till the 18th, when the House of Com¬ mons met, in order to make his ftatement there. Their lordfhips in the mean time might pafs the bill in whatever fliapethey plealed, and he muft referrc hid itatemeut for another place. The Lord Chancellor faid, it was a queftion vi great importance for the Houfe to determine whether the requeft of the learned counfel fhculd bc acceded to or not. It would probably, however, be the bed courfe to give the learned counfel for the Queen time till to-morrow at twelve o'clock to make up his mind as to the courfe he propofed to purfue. Some intimation being given that Mr. Brougham wifhed again to addrefs the Houfe, he was all-wed to fpeak. He im¬ plored their lordfhips not to leave it in doubt as to whether he fhould be allowed to make his flatemeut, if he fo determined, at 12 o'clock to-morrow, as in that cafe it would be impoffible for him to be prepared, He fhould be thinking of nothing in tile mean time but the queftion, v/hether or not he fhould be allowed to make any ftate¬ ment at all. The Lord Chancellor obferved, that it certainly did not foljow, becaufe the learn¬ ed counfel was to be called upon to-mor¬ row to intimate ihc courfe he wifhed to purfue, that he was therefore to be called upon (i[ the Houfe apreed to allow him to commence Lis ftatement) immediately lo commence his ftatement. The Lord Chnncellor.—Let us under¬ stand you, Mr. Brougham. Do you mean by u proceed" that it U your intention to Open the case, and then call in your evidence forthwith ; because I under¬ stand it to be my duty to ask you that question. Mr. Crougham then replied in a voice most astonishingly lowered, so as to be almost inaudible. My Lords, it is pro- » babL-—it is probable, 1 say, fori cannot say for certain—it is prpbable that there are two classes of evidence ; with res¬ pect to one class we might proceed ; with respect to the other, we might wish to trespass on your Lordship's indulgence for delay. The Lord Chancellor—Mr. Brough¬ am, it is impossible to hear you ; speak a little louder. ' Mr. Crougham, (in the same low, and almost inaudible voice.)—Allow me to say, my Lords, that in the first case, I may be allowed to call evidence now j and if in the second case I shall also be advised to call evidence not now in this country, it will be nece siry to entreat the indulgence of the House for some delay after the opening of my case. The House paused, apparently at a answer. Mr. Brougham then added something in a murmuring whisper, altogether in¬ audible to us. Lord Lauderdale moved, that the Counsel bc ordered '0 withdraw. (Cries of withdraw ! withdraw ! proceeded from various parts of the House.) The Lord Chancellor—Let the Coun¬ sel withdraw. The Counsel stood from the Bar? but did not retire. Lord Lauderdale then shortly expres¬ sed his opinion that the requested indul¬ gence might, perhaps, bc yielded with propriety. After a short conversation between the Lord Chancellor anJ the Maiquis of Lansdown, the Earl of Liverpool propo¬ sed the following resolution : — " That the Counsel be called in, and be informed that, if they now proceeded to state the case on the part of her Ma- jes'ty? they must, at the close of that statement, if they mean to produce evi¬ dence, be prepared to produce the whole of their proofs in support of the ease sta¬ ted by them, but that the House triD, at their reque-t, if they are not ready to take thi= course adjourn fo such reasona¬ ble time ;is the Counsel for her Majesty- may propose before their case is stated, that au Opportunity may bc allowed them to arrange the defence, and produce the necessary evidence." The House then divided on the Lord Chancellor's motion—Contents, 1G5— Non-Contents, GO—Majority, 105. Counsel were then called in, and the decision of the House was communicated to them. On our re-admission below the bar— Mr. Brougham was observing, that he would bow, as became him, to the deci¬ sion of the House ; but he begged to bo allowed to make another application to their Lordships. He had to claim the indulgence of the House to be allowed, in the present stage of the proceedings,. to be heard in commenting upon the case- already made out on the other side, bind¬ ing himself, in the course of that com¬ ment, not tw offer to (heir Lord>lrips one single word describing, or in any manner opening, or alluding to, the particular of any btatement of evidence which h< might hereafter advise her Majesty tc bring forward. Counsel having been Ordered to rriti- draw, The Lord CtencsWor *a:d; 'jfHtilftt
