Mr. Gateow. for the profecution, Paid, that the Gentleman againfl whom he appeared had been a Captain in his Majelly's navy, and that Sir Charles Hamilton now held that honourable fituation, and was alfo Commander of the Sea Fenci►les on the email of Effcr. The former had been tried and coo. vieed of a heinous offence againft the regulations of the navy, to which he h u t belonged, in confe• oversee of which he was fentenced to hand in the pil lory, and he was difmilfed the fervice. Under chefs circumfiances he had been named a witnefs in a caufe in the Admiralty, to which the profecutor was a party, and therefore Sir Chalks thought fit to ac quaint his legal advifars of the fiOs hated. In coo. lequenet of this tosnmanication, an interrogatory was put to the defendant, as to their truth, which nc• cafioned the following letter, which the Learned Couplet read from his brief, neatly in the following terms Lund" Feb. ti. titc6. r Sir—l ant aware of the advantage you will have over tae front an unnorPed fentence of the Coen of !Does Bench, but I cannot help obfereing upon the onnoollholtrtes oaks of it, de rived only from perjury and role Raretaese..

Ste. (Signal) « OEO. BRISAC." • To Sir Charles Hamilton, Batt.' • Mr. Gaeaow contended it was impoffiSle Fur any artifice to difgeife this, or to make it any thing but that which it was fated to be, either a challenge to fight a duel from Mr. Brifac to Sir Charles Hamil ton, or to provoke Sir Charles Hamilton to fend Mr. &rifle a challenge for the like purport. or a letter to provoke a breach of the peace : in either event it would come under the deferiptists of this informs. tion p and had Sir Charles Hamilton obeyed his own immediate impnlfe upon the receipt of it, inftead of giving way to the interceffinn of his Mends to appeal In a Court of Jolliet, as many illuftrious charatters had of late molt wifely done, the refnlr of this letter mutt have been fatal to one or other, if not both . of there Gentlemen. Sir Charles Hamilton proved he received the above letter at his houfe in Devonftiire place by the coach from Harwich. it being dire Bed to him at that place. where he had a houfe. bur, as he had come to town, was tranfinitted to him by his firvant from thence. Mr. Hammond, a Gentleman who had traufatted bnfinefs by direBion of the Lords of the Admiralty, - in confiquence of letters from Captain Brifac, proved the letter to be of the fame hand writing as that which had come to him as the letters of Captain Bri lac ; and this was deemed (efficient proof of the hand. writing of the Defendant ; indeed it was not difputed. Sir V. Gress fubmitted that there was no evi. dence of the Defendant having done any thing is Middlefer, the county in which the offence was laid to have been committed, the direttion being to Sir C. Hamilton at Harwich in Suffer. Lord E LLLLL emotion over-ruled this objettio% obferving, that if a perfon fends a letter to anothce in one viunty, and the neceffary confequence in, that in put fuance of that direttion, it follows that perk* to whom it is diretted, and is received by him in ano ther county, it (ball be taken to bt an ail done by the author of Lech letter, in the county in which it is re. ceived. Sir V. Grass then addreffed the Jury in a very able (peach iii behalf of the Defendant, in which he dwelt, with coofiderable Weft, on the very long few. vi..es of the Defendant to his King and Country. On the ides, though a miftaken one, which he had taken up, and always entertained, of his own innocence, and of the harfh treatment he had met with—Gn his having written this letter with a wounded fpirit—on his thinking, though erroneonfly, that the interroga ' -.my put to him by the profecutor, a brother officer, war mean and degrading—on his having (pent the whole of a very long life in a fervice which he loved, and lad received public approbation for every part he took in it, until( the occurrence of this onbappy cirk remit - ince, whicliwas a/Billing to *mind like his,tend ing to bring his prey hairs with focrow to the grave, the road toothich was likely to be made lhort by the affliCtion which this cafe had already given to thole who were molt dear to him. It was true, he ought not to have written Inch a letter—true, that no man ghoul(' relent any thing in any manner, hut by an ap peal to a Conti of Junice—true. that no allowance war made, by law, for any irritation, in confidering a mifdemean3ur ; but an eloquent whiter had laid— 't that to be free from all irritation, would be indeed godlike, but the order of human nature extendeth not fo far." He hoped, therefore, the Jury would con. ftdcr the cafe of the Defeodant in mercy—that they would place thamfelves in his fituation, and then he leonft venture to exprefs a hope, that they would find Min not guilty. Lord Ett.tesnitouon Elated the nature of the prolecution to the Jury, and left it to them to fay, according to their uoderltandings of the language and the habits of the world, whether this did or did not come under either of the three heads of charge made againft the defendant ? Fit it, a challenge to the ptolecutor to fight a duel. Secondly, a provoca tion to make the prufecutor to fend to the defendant a challenge to fight a duel. Laftly, a meffage, cal. eulated to produce a breach 01 the peace. Hit Lord (hip thought the profecutor perfealy jotlilied in what he had doge, but left the whole quctlion to the de termination of the Jury, who retired, and in sh nut half an hour retuned with a verdidl of Ace J.
