Did the witness, at any time during the morning, while her Royal Highness was at Trieste, see Bergami come out of any room into the dining-room? I have seen him come from the room of the Princess.

At what hour? About eight, or half-past eight, in the morning.

How many times did you see that during the six days her Royal Highness remained at Trieste? Three or four times.

Will the witness describe the manner in which Bergami was dressed when coming out of the room of her Royal Highness? He had a dress made in the Polish fashion, with some gold lace on it, which came from the waist down behind.

What else besides that? He had drawers.

Had he any stockings on? Sometimes he had stockings, and sometimes pantaloons, which were at once stockings and pantaloons; but I cannot precisely say, for I was looking out through the key-hole of my room. (A laugh.)

What had he on his feet? It appeared that he had some strings.

[The interpreter stated that the strings were to fasten the drawers.]

At the time you saw this, was the dining-room door open ? It was still closed.

Where did the witness himself remain in the morning, before he went into the dining-room? In my own room, which was at the end of the dining-room. I was preparing breakfast for the Princess and suite, as well as putting my knives, forks, &c. in order.

Did you, while she was there, ever see the Princess and Bergami walking? All day, every day.

[The interpreter stated that the witness meant " they were always together.]

In what way? Sometimes in the hall, sometimes in the salle a manger, and sometimes in the room of the dame d'honneur.

In what manner did they walk together? Were they near each other or separate? They did not touch each other, as far as I have seen; but they walked arm in arm. (A laugh.)

Did the witness ever see the Princess with any other person, while she was at Trieste, besides Bergami? Yes: there was a Count Dore, who conducted her Majesty to the theatre. He came to hand her in and out. She gave her right hand to the Count, and her left to Bergami.

Did you make any observations on the bed assigned to Bergami? Yes, I have.

Did that bed appear to have been slept in? Never.

I wish to know whether, after Bergami went away, you made any observations on the sheets of the bed? The sheets were put on the bed clean, and were taken away clean.

How many pots-de-chambre were there in the Princess's bedroom? There were two.

Were they both made use of? I did say yes.

Were there more than one wash-hand stand and basin in the room? There were two.

Did they appear both to have been used, or only one? I don't remember: many travellers wish two basins, and yet they may be alone.

Were you present when her Royal Highness went away? I was. How did she go away? In the same way in which she arrived; in the same open carriage.

Did Bergami go with her? Yes.

This closed the examination-in-chief of this witness.

Cross-examined by Mr. Williams.

How long was it between the time that the Princess departed and the time her suite set out? About a quarter of an hour: not quite so much: almost immediately.

Have you any doubt of the Princess's having remained so long as five or six days? Of that I am quite sure.

Are you sure of it?

No more.

But are you sure that she remained so long as five or six days? Yes.

Do you remember the days of the week-the day on which she came? I don't remember.

Do you remember the day in which she went away? Never; if any body had told me something to that point, I might have ascertained it, but I don't remember.

Did the room of which you speak open into the dining-room; aye or no? There was a secret door that could not be known to be a door to any one in the dining-room.

Was that part in which the door was, covered with tapestry, or was it wood like the rest, or how? It was covered with painted

canvass.

Which covered the whole, so that a person in the dining-room could not tell whether there was a door or not? No.

I ask whether it was impossible for any person in the diningroom to know if there was a door or not? It was impossible, except for one of the family.

Was not the reason of the impossibility because the door was entirely covered with canvass?

Yes.

Then I understand you right when I say that the reason why no stranger could find out the door was, that it was wholly covered with canvass? Yes.

It was entirely covered? Entirely.

Are you still agent, or by whatever other name than agent you may be called, for the Grand Hotel at Trieste? I am after taking the inn which is called the Black Eagle; but if I don't

gain the trial (the law-suit,) I shall continue to be in the Grand Hotel.

(This answer appeared to excite a considerable sensation. The Solicitor-General thought the meaning of the witness was, "if I don't gain what I attempt to gain." The short-hand writer was desired to read the answer, and the word "law-suit" was retained as the correct translation.)

I do not ask what you are to be hereafter, but whether you are still agent for the Grand Hotel? I am not sure, because the inn is exposed to an auction every nine years. The lease has expired, and I don't know whether my principal will buy the lease or not, because it belongs to the corporation.

As agent to the Grand Hotel, was it not chiefly your business to wait on the guests? I have waited on them; I am always the、 person.

The head waiter? Yes.

Were there no female servants belonging to the inn at the time the Princess of Wales was there? There was one.

What was her name? Maria Mora.

I wish to ask, when you talk of the door being fastened every night, whether you do not speak of what was done by the other servants? or whether that was done by some of the servants of the inn? No; the waiters had nothing to do with it.

What do you mean when you say that No. 4 was fastened? I wish to know if that was done by yourself or by any of the servants? It was shut by themselves; I don't know whether by any of the Princess's suite or by Bergami.

How long was it after the Princess was there that you were first examined on this subject? I think about three years. Before I was examined it was past two years and a half.

I heard you say, I think, that a great number of guests were in the habit of coming to that inn? Yes.

You have said it is the chief inn for travellers in that place: is it so? It is the best inn.

At the end of the two and a half or three years, who applied to you to know what you had to say? Some one who came to dine at the inn, who asked me "how did the Princess conduct herself?" and I answered "I can't complain; she behaved very well."

Have you been at Milan? Yes; more than once.

What countryman are you? I come from Asti, in Piedmont. Did you go to Milan to make a deposition of what you knew? Yes, about 18 months ago.

Who examined you? Colonel Brown.

Did any law man assist?

don't remember his name.

Yes, a lawyer who is here, but I

Should you recollect if I assisted you with his name?

Mr. Powell? Yes.

Was it

Was Counsellor Cook there? I don't know what he is called, but there was one whom I considersd a Milanese.

Was his name Vilmarcati? I don't know.

You were at that time regularly examined? Yes, I was.
Was your examination taken in writing? I believe so.

And you gave a full account then of the room, and of all that you have told to-day? What I can say before God, I have said here and at Milan.

Have you been examined in England by the same gentleman that examined you at Milan? No.

Not by any body? I was examined in the presence of the present gentlemen, and the advocate whom we have mentioned.

What do you mean? I have been examined on the same subject.

By whom? By the same lawyer, in the presence of you (the interpreter,) and two other gentlemen.

And when was that? I think on the second or third day after my arrival.

How long have you been here? I don't know, but I think about a fortnight.

Who brought you here? Signor Capper.

How did you come? With Mr. Capper alone, or were there other persons along with you? I went as far as Boulogne with a certain Andriatsi, who had been two times at the inn to take

me.

Who is Andriatsi? He was a person sent by Colonel Brown from Milan,

To accompany you on your journey? Yes.

I take it for granted you have received no money? I did not wish for any, but he gave me some.

You did not wish for any money? He told me to take this, and gave me eight gold Napoleons, and eleven francs.

That is not an answer. But it is true, then, that you were examined here and at Milan, and that your examinations were reduced to writing? Your depositions were written down at Milan, and you have been examined again since your arrival in England? Yes.

Did the door of Bergami's room open-not open into the dining-room, but-into the bed-room of his sister, the Countess of Oldi? Yes, into the bed-room of his sister.

State the party that came to your hotel before the Princess of Wales; the names of the party? The order came from the vicegovernor of the corporation to prepare apartments for her Royal Highness.

What were the names of the last guests before the arrival of the Princess of Wales? It is not possible for me to remember. One I do remember, a man of the name of Pellet, a merchant and manufacturer of watches, from Neufchatel.

Who composed the party that came after the Princess of Wales? It is impossible for me to remember: I can't remember : if I were at home, there is a book in which the names of all the strangers are entered.

Was the Princess of Wales there during a Sunday? I don't remember.

You can't remember whether she was there on a Sunday, nor the day on which she came, nor that on which she went away? I do not remember: from the book every thing is known.

And that you left behind? The book is at Trieste, where the names of strangers are put down.

Do you remember if the Princess went to the opera? She did.

Was she ever more than once to your knowledge in this grand hotel? That was the first time she ever was.

Has she ever been more than that one time in her life? Once only.

The witness was here re-examined by the Solicitor-General. What has become of the servant-maid, Maria Mora? I believe she is gone to Jerusalem; all I know is, that she asked leave to go there last spring, and I have not seen her since.

What has become of the male-servant? I do not exactly know. Look at that gentleman (Mr. Maule) and say whether you know him? Yes, I do.

Did Mr. Maule take down in writing what you said when you were before examined? He did.

Where was it that the sum of 8 Napoleons and 11 francs was given to you? In a house at Bologna.

At what time was it after you had left Trieste? I cannot remember exactly.

Will you

June.

endeavour to recollect? I think it was on the 28th of

Do you consider that you shall lose any thing by being absent from your place of residence and occupation? Yes, a material loss.

Is the loss you apprehend greater than will be compensated by the 8 Napoleons and 11 francs, which you say were paid to you at Bologna? Much greater: I derive more profit from my own business.

The Solicitor-General remarked, that he was unwilling to take up their lordship's time unnecessarily; but it might be important that their lordships should here refer to a preceding part of the

evidence.

If the room of which you have been speaking was covered with canvass, how did you see into it? I looked into it through a hole, in order that I might know when I was wanted, and to be exact in my service.

But through what hole was it that you looked into the room? Through a key-hole which looked into the dining-room.
