timtm lord isa monstrous taic which jef telf t is not credible ucar- it own refutation along with it ayh mi lords ate you to suppose tht her mb jest voluntarily parsed thro a vo i here the must have been seeoj when she might have gone another way whore she would not have been seen she knew my lord- that majocchi slept in that rom she knew the disposition of hi bed she knew that there was a tire kept in lie room knowing ali this she voluntarily parses through it stop ping in her way to look straight in the face of the witness a robber naturally care to the bed where a lady slept and looked in her eyes to see if she was a- sleep if she was not he could proceed no fait w it was therefore very pru dent in the robber to take this precau tion but for a person going to commit adultery in the next room to loot in the fact of him whose mistress she was and that person the princessof wales when the very looking condemned exposed and convicted her this was the most in credible the most silly invention that could be made but it was providen tially and most happily ordained for the detection of guilt and the defence of in nocence that such inventions were often carelessly put together would not the single fact of having been seen in that room under such circumstances have exposed her vvouio not the fact of be ing detected in looking in the face of majocchi have of itself condemned her jt is a most monstrous and incredible tale what has happened here has hap pened in other cases where innocence has been attacked by the perjured and re morseless witness who involves himself in contradictions which it is impossible for him to explain ffnd relates fses which it is impossible for any one to be lieve my lords i wish to call yonr re collection to what this witness has said on another point lie told you thatbcr- garni began to dine at he table of fhe princess at genoa but my lords you have it from the other evidence thatber- gami never did dine at he table of her majesty at genoa when this witness majocchi speaks of the night scene he told you first that he did not know rt the courier kaslrlli but in q subse quent part of bis evidence he explains the reason of his recollecting a circum stance by the fhet of the arrival of the courier rastelli finding himself in tolved in a gross couhadictioii he at tempts to shift his ground he recollects the circumstance ho say- because thi v s attacked lie house iviy ijorus jou recollect the acccunt this witness gave of las leaving the service of her majesty an account which contains as much jfoss and deliberate falsehood os ever polluted the walls of a court of justice and al low me here my lords to observe that where you see one materia part cfa per sons evidence grossly and palpably false it is uot necessery to go more into detail the whole of his evidence must be discredited nothing that falls from the lips of a perjured man ought to be enter tained my lords in giving you an ac count of his leaving ihe service of the princess he told you that be was not discharged but that he left he service because hs did not like the bad people by whom her royal highness was sur rounded ha did this to raise his own credit and to debase the queen and these by whom she was surrounded my lords this siory is false a question was put to him did you not ask to go back r lie did not recollect he re my lords you see how he protects himself lor it he had answered no he would have con- tioted mmsflfut once up was askn u did you not apply to scbiaviui lie says yesl did make application to schiavini but it was in joke 1 made it in joke well this is possible but j be did not make it its joke he has perju red himself if he did make thisapplica- lion in joke to what follows he must have answered no did you nut make other applications of a similar kind to hie rimy m us nan mi ricordo my lords this is a gross and wilful perjury he first states that he left the queen to avoid the bad people by whom she was surrounded and then he is obliged to admit that he made application to be ad mitted back but he did so in joke tuns you see he makes use of one invent- in order to support another my lords you recollect the way in which he told you that he never wished to go back to his service he said i would rather cat grass than go back to that house is this true or false do you believe my lords that this man would eat grass be fore he would go back to the house of the queen 2 he admits that he made an application to be restored to his p ce but he made it in joke my lords you must not forget that he made nut one ap plication he made several applications to several persons are you to suppose that he was joking all the time my lords here i say is developed tho mystery of the answer nun mi licordo my lord- i say that rank falshood appears on th face of this part of the evidence take it in one way or the other i care not on which branch of the alternative it may rest my lord i shall next call your attention to the wellpaid steal ers the master and mate of the polacre any person at ail acquainted with the courts of justice are aware that wit nesses of a certain kind are extremely flippant extremely anxious to ivc ex plunations which they consider import- ant the mate of the polar re h a wit ness of thi kind he was asked were the guns on the deck and what was his answer to be sure they were they were not in our pockets my lord this singt am er shews 5u the d m a nor of fln witness important i pre sume this witness must have been con sidered for he was the best paid witness lie has been paid my lords at the rate of 1000 a year 2000 a year to the mate of a vessel trading in the me diterranean and fourth part owner my lords i will venture to say that there is not one ship owner in messina makes half this sum by all the ships he may possess the thing is unknown in that country a man of 100 a year is considered a rich man l0i a year s i property possessed by none save the highest of the noblesse the captain of the polacre has been paid a still higher sum than the mate he bus been paid l 100 a year he has been fed lodg ed maintained every expenee has been paid my lords this wis not by way of compensation for the los of his pro- tits for his ship wr9 not here the ship remained in the mediterranean my lords this man his mate and 20 men with his ship had been hired for sum of about onefourth part less than he now receives for coming to swear against her maiesty but this is not all the wit- ness has told you that when he attend a on a royal person he expects a great deamore than the sum named he looks for muclf more than the certain sum his expectations are not limited to what he now gets for coming here to swear against the queen lie had been em ployed by the royal person against whom he now appears and he told your lord ships that the ascertained compensation bore no proportion to the voluntary re ward which he expected from her majes ty how much less then has ho a right to limit the bounty of hr illustrious hus band or of the servants of his majesty who bad brought him here my lords independent of the hope of reward ano ther motive mufct have operated power fully on the mind of this witness his testimony my lords bottomed on revenge he has sworn that he has had a quarrel with bcrgami the queens ser vant whose basilicas it was to pay mo ney and itappcarsthit this witness com plained in a memorial to his ambassa dor that ijergami refused to piy htm a sum of 1301 which he claimed and my loids it was in his way it was in his but if yoa floot belles si tfcftfty must believe that u ha captaan ol the polacre swore was not true richer ihcn he told tlisory to color his mo tives or he gave i- as a gratuitous false hood he wished to earn his money in the best possible ay he wished to im- prove the case a attempt in which in the opinion of sone credulous persons be has possibly speeded he intend ed to do much iu order to make his ser vices the foundation of his claim to hat unascertained remuneration which he declares he expels from th- bounty of iualty lie expects my lords to im- rove his claim for there is t consequence of this complaint that the witness became acquainted will certain persons in this country mis minister count ludolf in answer to bis memori al told him that he knew nothing ol the iii i iter but desired him to go lo london and pwier his complaint for the 1300- u wobyiiicn on account ul 1u1 caun oi the english government that he fir came to be known to persons in this country his existence his very name was nnt known until he made this complaint against the queen and her chamberlain for not paying him lo00 and became to london amongst other reasons for tlie purpose of following up that claim 1 warrant you my lords he is nor like ly to sec his way less clearly in pursuing this claim in consequence of theevideuee which he has given there arc other matters in the evidence of the master ami mate of the polacre deserving of youi attention 1 think my lords that the queen on board a vessel sitting with hei arms cntertw incti round her menial ser vant cud sometimes kissing him was a circumstance not so insignificant as not to be likely to attract the particular at tention of the master and the mate and yet the accounts given by these two men of this transaction materially differ the master says the queen was sitting on a gun and bergatni was supporting her the captain says tlu queen wu titling near the mast en bergamis knee the dilferencc here is most important if a witness thinks lit to say i will pledgr my authority for accuracy and for trattt on the details 1 give if he goes into details which he need not have jjone in to he must do so at his peril well he does so the captain swears that the queen was silting on bergenias knee n- ar the mast and that beryami and the que n were kissing the mate says the q was sitting on a gun but not a word about kissing and here my lords let mesa y that there can be no doubt but that both witnesses were swearing to ro p which he came over to this country to seek amount other things my lords 1 shall trouble yen with one statement more of those men it will tend to show the advantage of being well drilled no wonder indued that the witnesses should have been well drilled for they have bsen well paid the skill of the party should if possible be in proportion to the price he receives but my lords there are limits to this art if there were not cod pity the innocent against the attacks of the perjured my lords these two witnesses were examined im mediately after one another one hud no access to the recorded evidence of the other and there hey are on terms the most intimate living together supping and breakfasting together living in all the be bits of blood and kindred in a man ner ilat would ilo honour to near rela tions and which it would be well if some relations of much higher station would have cultivated llie
