Mr. Brougham humbly suggested that a more specific answer should be given.

The Earl of Liverpool wished the question to be followed up, and would therefore ask,

About how many days ago?-It was last week; I do not know the day, but it was last week.

Mr. Brougham wished their lordships to put the following question :

Had the gentleman who took you into that room a paper in his hand? -Yes, he had a paper in his hand; and he was reading from this paper, and put me the question, and asked me whether it was so; and I said, Yes, when I knew it was true.

The Marquis of Lansdown remarked, that as the witness had said, in answer to a former question, that he never was examined since his examination at Milan, and he now acknowledged having been examined in England, he wished to know the reason why he had given the former answer?

The Lord-Chancellor said, the most regular way would be to read the question and answer alluded to by the noble marquis to the witness, and then ask him what he meant by that answer.

"

The Earl of Lauderdale thought, that in order for the witness to understand that question, the time and place to which his former answers referred should be stated. After so long an examination, it would be impossible for him to recollect those circumstances unless the previous questions were likewise read to him.

The Earl of Liverpool really thought there could be no doubt upon the matter at all. In the first instance the witness said he had not been examined since he was at Milan; but when the question was put in a more specific manner, as to his being examined in England, he said, Yes.

Earl Grey observed, that the only way would be for their lordships to call to the witness's mind what he had said he could not see what good could be done by repeating the previous questions recommended by the noble earl (Lauderdale). The only way for them to put the question of the noble marquis (Lansdown) was this"You have stated that you signed your deposition at Milan; also, that, subsequently to the signing of it, you have not been examined since. What do you mean by not being examined since ?" To answer this clearly and distinctly, would be the best way of meeting the question proposed to be put.

The following question and answer were read over to the witness:

Have you been ever examined since that time?-No.

You have stated that you have signed a deposition at Milan; you have also stated that you have not since been examined; what do you mean by stating that you had not been since examined?—I was thinking that you were asking me whether I had been examined at Milan before I came to England, and I was not examined there.

The witness was directed to withdraw,

Mr. Denman was unwilling to interrupt the examina tion, if their lordships thought that the circumstance of Bergami's having been in prison five years before the occurrence of any fact which connected him with the present case, came properly before the consideration of the House. Their lordships would remember that no suclí circumstance had been mentioned in the opening speech of the learned Attorney-General; but if the House thought that it was properly introduced in support of the bill, he (Mr. Denman) of course could not object to it.
