tar which
you have seen; and suspended from his neck, there is the medallion. Lord
Cochrane is a man of rank, not unacquainted with the distinction of a
star. If he was not in the secret of De Berenger's dress, he must have
had curiosity upon the subject; and I beg to ask, what is to be said for
Lord Cochrane seeing De Berenger in that scarlet uniform, with that star
on his breast, and that medallion suspended from his neck, swearing that
the uniform was _green_, and that he lent De Berenger a black coat,
because he could not wait on Lord Yarmouth in that _green_ uniform,
which you will recollect was the uniform of Lord Yarmouth's corps, in
which, Lord Yarmouth has told you, it would have been more military to
have waited upon him, than in any other dress.

Gentlemen, there is more than this. My friends call one of Lord
Cochrane's servants, who received De Berenger when he came there, who
told him in the hearing of the hackney coachman, that his master was
gone to breakfast in Cumberland-street, who took the note which De
Berenger wrote to Cumberland-street, who brought back the note, and upon
that note Mr. De Berenger wrote two or three lines more. Then what
becomes of Lord Cochrane's affidavit, who says the signature was so near
the bottom of the paper, that he could not read it. The postscript is
written after the signature, yet Lord Cochrane cannot read the note,
because the signature is written so near the bottom; and then when my
learned friends had that servant in the box, they did not venture to ask
that servant what was the dress of Mr. De Berenger. After calling
witnesses to confirm Lord Cochrane, as to applications to different
offices by Sir Alexander Cochrane, they dare not ask Lord Cochrane's own
servant as to the dress De Berenger wore, to try whether he could
confirm Lord Cochrane's affidavit upon that subject. They then tell us,
that another servant is gone abroad with some admiral, and I pray you,
as he was here long after this business was afloat, how was it he was
suffered to go, unless his absence was more wanted than his presence;
but they have a maid-servant who also saw him, and she is not called;
and my learned friends, though they were so anxious to confirm Lord
Cochrane's affidavit, leave him without confirmation, utterly abandoned
and hopeless.

_Mr. Brougham._ Davis had left.

_Mr. Gurney._ I say why was he suffered to go away. The maid-servant is
still here, and she is not called. Gentle
