The question put to Mr. Brougham was the following:-"If the Attorney-spatch which I was to carry abroad to General will now state that his case is closed, will you wave your right of cross-examination of the witnesses at a future period."

Earl GREY begged the House to refer to page 141 of the minutes, and then desired the Interpreter to read from that page the following questions and answers:

"How long were you in England at that period when you lived with Mr. Hyatt at Glocester? This I cannot remember, because I have not the book in which I have marked the time.

"About how long were yon in Mr. Hyatt's service?-This is the same answer-because I baye not the book in which I put down how long I was there."

Earl GREY then desired the witness to be asked if he adhered to these

answers.

We spoke about the King's funeral. I remember we came to some street in which there was a house at which I had to deliver a letter. His servant told me he was not at home because he had gone to see the funeral of the King. On that or some other day I went to find a person in another house, whether it was large or small I cannot say. On the first day of my arrival in England, I went to a house that I was told was the Court of the King, for I had three or four letters. I met there Mr. Powell.

(Mr. Long, the landlord, was called in.) Yes, I know him. I employed him to write a letter for me to Mr. Blackwell, and another to Mr. Hyatt. I told him to write to the following effect to Mr. Blackwell. "I have not found your brother at home, but I have left your letter in the hands of his wife-they are all well, and I beg you to make my compliments to the family and towards every body in it."

The ATTORNEY-GENERAL. — Am I to understand that the Queen's Attorney-General does not contemplate any further cross-examination at any time?

Mr. BROUGHAM.-At no time.

SUMMING UP OF EVIDENCE,

The SOLICITOR GENERAL then rose to sum up the evidence to the House. He commenced by stating, that his learned friend (Mr. Brougham) having closed the long and elaborate cross-examination of Theodore Majochi, and as the whole of the evidence in support of the bill was now before their lordships, the duty devolved upon him of summing up to their lordships the leading points of that evidence, in support of the allegations contained in the preamble of the bill of pains and penalties against her Majesty the Queen. He trusted that, before be entered upon this summing up, their lordships would allow him a few mo ments to justify himself, and his learned friends who acted with him, as to the course pursued by them, and the principles by which they were actuated,

In re-examination by the ATTORNEY-GENERAL, witness said he had received the Napoleons, to which al-in conducting this most painful and lusion had been made, to pay the expenses of his journey. He afterwards gave an account of his expenditure.

was, that he should sum up the evidence with truth and accuracy, and then point out how it applied to the charges upon which the bill was founded. If it were not expected of him to incur any charge of this mis-statement. still less, he hoped, was it expected of him to use the slightest expression derogatory from the station and dignity of her Majesty the Queen. No such expressions should escape his lips. The Queen was here on trial before their lordships: one side-and that the case against her-had only been heard. He, therefore, was bound in strict law, and so were their lordships, to consider her Majesty innocent of those foul charges ascribed to her until they heard her defence. None could pronounce her guilty until their lordships'

their most minute and anxious attention to collect all the evidence that it would be their duty to adduce before their lordships upon such an occasion. They lost not a moment in weighing well and considering all the materials, and every other evidence which could bear upon this great question. They collected together and digested every thing which they thought material to this paramount inquiry, without regard to either the influence or the impression which any parts of that evidence were calculated to create when it came before their lordships. In so doing they felt that they were per forming their duty fully, fairly, and candidly to their lordships. Now that the evidence had been gone through, they trusted that their lordships thought they had fully discharged the duty im-verdict decided and justified that iposed upon them. They felt that in the progress of this cause they were not to make themselves a party to the inquiry; but to pursue It according to their lordships' instructions, fairly, candidly, and honestly. Having said thus much in behalf of himself and his learned colleagues, the duty now devolved upon him of pointing their lordships' attention to the leading facts, as disclosed in the evidence before them. The difficulty which he had to encounter, in performing this duty, was, as their lordships must be aware, greatly augmented by the circumstance, that as the learned counsel for the Queen had yet to make their answer to the case, he was left without any knowledge of any of the arguments with which they meant to combat the provisions of the bill, or of any of the facts upon which the defence of her Majesty the Queen mainly rested. All that hevaut, a man named Bartholomew Bercould therefore do, in the performance of his present duty, was to enforce apon their lordship's attention the manner in which the case at present stood, and how the evidence adduced made out and supported the allegations in the preamble of the bill. He trusted that, upon reference to that evidence, which he would not now give their lordships the trouble of reading, they would find the preamble mainly sustained. Before he impressed the leading facts upon their lordships' memory, he begged to state that he should carefully abstain from either mis-statement or exaggeration. His duty was not to impose or to influence by any distorted statement: allthat was required of him

putation. He and his learned friends had been charged with scattering calumnies abroad, and throwing dirt against the character of the Queen. But, though this charge had been insidiously disseminated, he, and those with him, felt guiltless of the imputation. They had, throughout, stated nothing which they had reason to be-lieve would not be satisfactorily proved. If calumnies had been uttered, they belonged to another quarter; that quarter alone ought to be called upon to account for them. Before he went further, he would beg leave to call their lordships' attention to the naturevof the charge set forth in the preamble of the Bill of Pains and Penalties against her Majesty the Queen. That preamble began by stating, that her Majesty in the year 1814 had, in Milan, engaged in the capacity of a menial ser

gami; that she had immediately after that time, committed disgraceful and unbecoming familiarities with that person; that she had raised him in her household, and loaded him with hanours; that she had placed several members of his family in various situations of honor and rank about her person; and that she had afterwards carried on, for a considerable period, an adulterous intercourse with him. That was the head of the charges against the Queen, as contained in the preamble of the Bill; and it was his duty to ask their lordships if that charge had not been substantially made out in evi dence. He must now beg leave to carry back their lordships' attention

He thought it right, upon that occasion attracted the notice for the sake of perspicuity, to take up of the servant, who, excited by what the subject at the time he had just she had noticed on the preceding night, mentioned, and then pursue it from examined the state of the beds on the that period up to the latest time that following morning.
