Mr Sehermerhorn-- Were you not horn
in the town of Montrose, Scotland, in the
year 1815 ?
Lola Montez— May I not answer in a Yan
kee way by asking him a question (*my
own ? [Laughter J Mr. She rmerhorn, or
Mr Sernghorn or whatever they call you--
[re new eil laughterl—did you not raise your
sweet little band upon a lady the other day;
did you not do that . , Mr, Seraghorn ?
The Referee— I request of you that you
Anil not interrupt the proceedings this
way?
lola OM yes, but I am only asking in
the - re:Ace fasidou. • When I see a lawyer
asking such absurd questions, 1111(1 trying to
injure my character by lies, it is time that I
should take not his own weapons, which art
lies, and wthrli I weed not maks use of ;
hot the weapons of truth—those tire my
iicapons, and not lies.
Referee—Well, you need not lIIISVIcr.
Lola —I don't choose to answer, and no
power on earth will make me answer wllsO

Lola -Well, really, that is too nb,urd -a
chambermaid—ha ' ha '—a chambermaid
Mr Seely -Those questions are not mate
teriel, and are intended only to insult.
Lola—Row can you expect anything from
such a rnscat T You can only expect dirt
from dirt.
Mr Stherinerhorn—We can show the
witness' antecedents. We can prove that
they are so base as nut to be 'entitled to any
credit.
Lola Montes—lt is nothing against me to
show that I was a chambermaid, although
if I had been ono I would only consider my
self a greater %towel', for having risen from
that position, than I am to-day.
Mr. Scherinerhorn—l desire to show that
this witness contradicts herself, and I want
to I inpeach her.
Referee- I rule that the question as to her
being a ohambetintiid is not proper or rele
vant.
Mr. Sehernterhorn—This
_woman, or I
should say, this lady—
Lola Monter —Wall me a woman ; I am
proud of it. You:: mother was a woman,

Mr. Schermerhons —I wish to contradict
her, and impeach her testimony.
• &Wire —L have passed upon this Ties-
Con,' andT beg you to ask of her the next.
Mr. Schermerhorn—if you were born as
you say in the beautiful town of Limerick,
Ireland, how des, you account for being in
India whoa you were but three riaontlis old
on leaving Ireland 1
Lola Montez—land it out—that's your
business—,you know all about me, and I
know nothink about myself—you ought to
know that, as you} know that I wan born in
bloutrose, Sootlafid, - iiid about my being a '
chambermaid. '
Mr. Schemerhorn repeated the question as
before. ,
Lola Montez (rising and with emphasis)—l
