prior to April, 1801. He understood that the child was taken through charity. He remembers that

there was a female servant who attended in the coffee-room. He never said to that woman, or to any other person, that the princess was with child, or looked as if she was with child, and he never thought so, or surmised any thing of the kind. He was once sent for by her royal highness to bleed her. He was not at home, and Mr. Edmeades bled her. He had bled her two or three times before; it was by direction of sir Francis Milman. It was for an inflammation she had on the lungs. As much as he knew, it was not usual for the princess to be bled twice a year. He doesn't know that any other medical person attended her at the time that he did, nor does he believe that there did. He doesn't know that sir Francis Milman had advised that she should be blooded at the time that he was sent for and was not at home, nor what was cause of her being then blooded. He does recollect something of having attended the servant who was in the coffee-room, for a cold, but he is sure he never said to her that the princess was with child, or looked as if she was so. He has known that the princess has frequently sent to Mr. Edmeades for leeches. When he saw the femal child, Mrs. Sander was in the room, and some other servants, but he doesn't recollect who. He was sent for to see whether there was any disease

about the child-to see whether it was a healthy child, as her royal highness meant to take it under her patronage. The child could just walk alone. He saw the child frequently afterwards. It was at one time with Bidgood, and another time with Gosden and his wife. He doesn't recollect that the princess was by at any time when he saw the child. He never saw the child in Montague house when he attended it as a patient, but when he was first sent for to see if the child had any disease, it was in Montague house.

Harriet Fitzgerald deposed, that she came first to live with the princess of Wales in 1801, merely as a friend and companion, and has continued to live with her royal highness to this time. She knows lady Douglas. She remembers her lying-in. It happened by accident that her royal highness was in the house at the time of lady Douglas's delivery. She thinks it was in July, 1802. She was there herself. The princess was not in the room at the time lady Douglas was delivered. There was certainly no appearance of the princess being pregnant at that time. She saw the princess at that time every day, and at all hours. She believes it to be quite impossible that the princess should have been with child without her observing it. She never was at a breakfast with the princess at lady Willoughby's. The princess took a

little girl into the house about nine years ago. She was not in the house at the time. She was in the house when the boy, who is now there, was brought there. She had said before, openly, that she should like to have a child, and she had asked the servant who brought the child, if he knew of any persons who would part with a child. She was at Southend with the princess. She remembers captain Manby being there sometimes. He was not there very often. He used to come at different hours, as the tide served. He dined there, but never stayed late. She was at Southend all the time the princess was there. She cannot recollect that she has seen captain Manby there, or kuown him to be there, later than nine, or half after nine. She never knew of any correspondence by letter with him when he was abroad. She does not recollect to have seen him ever early in the morning at the princess's. She was at Ramsgate with the princess. Captain Manby may have dined there once. He never slept there to her knowledge, nor does she believe he did. The princess rises at different hours, seldom before ten or eleven. She never knew her up at six o'clock in the morning. If she had been up so early she should not have known it, not being up so early herself. She remembers the princess giving captain Manby an ink-stand. He had the care of two boys whom she protected. She can't say that captain Manby did not sleep at

A a

Southend. He may have slept in the village, but she believes he never slept in the princess's house. She was at Catherington with the princess. She remembers her royal highness going out in an open carriage with the present lord Hood. She believes lord Hood's servant attended them. There was only one servant, and no other carriage with them. She was at Dawlish this summer with the princess, and afterwards at Mount Edgecombe. The princess saw a great deal of company there. Sir Richard Strachan used to come there. She doesn't know what was the cause of his discontinuing his visits there. She remembers sir Sidney Smith being frequently at Montague house. He was sometimes there as late as twelve and one o'clock in the morning, but never alone that she knows of. The princess was not in the room when lady Douglas was brought to bed. She knows she was not, because she was in the room herself when lady Douglas was delivered. Dr. Mackie, of Lewisham was the accoucheur. She doesn't recollect sir Sidney Smith ever being alone with the princess in the evening. It may have happened, but she doesn't know that it did. She used to sit with the princess always in the evening, but not in the morning. She was with the princess in the Isle of Wight. Mr. Hood and lord Amelius Beauclerc were there with her. She went there from Portsmouth.-Sworn June 27, 1806.

In a letter dated July 1, 1806, earl Spencer stated to lord Gwydir, that the extreme importance of the business on which he had before troubled lordship and lady Willoughby, makes it the indispensable duty of the persons to whom his Majesty has entrusted the enquiry, further to request that her ladyship will have the 'goodness to return in writing, distinct and separate answers to the enclosed queries. They beg leave to add, that in the discharge of the trust committed to them, they have been obliged to examine upon oath the several persons to whose testimony they have thought it right to have recourse on this occasion. They have been unwilling to give lady Willoughby the trouble of so long a journey for that purpose, well knowing the full reliance which may be placed on every thing which shall be stated by her ladyship in this form. But on her return to towr it may probably be judged necessary, for the sake of uniformity in this most important proceeding, that she should be so good as to confirm on oath the truth of the written answers requested from her ladyship.

Lord Gwydir iminediately communicated to lady Willoughby the queries transmitted to him," and in his reply to earl Spencer (dated July 3,) returned them with lady Willoughby's answers in her own handwriting; adding, "We are both truly sensible of your lordship's kind attention in
