TURN with pleasure from that barren waste, in
which no salutary plan! tzkcs wot, no verdure
quickens, to : charzkzcr smile, :: ] willingly be
lieve, in every gren and good qualisicaeionss ()!"
upon you, in the name of the English natiopf'kx
'fland forth in dzsence osshss: but of your (gous , and
xd exerc, in (he cause of truth and justice; th : great
abilidcs wizh which you were emrusied (of the bench:
of mankind. To ascertain the fact: szzsonb in the [are
c_:Jing papfr, it may be necessary to all th person,
mentiozzcd in the r-nsitliwuf, to me ba! of the House of
Lord:. [( : mmion for thn purpose Wd'be tejected,
w: shall !.now what to think of Lord Mansfield'o inno
cence. The legal argument is submhqed to your. Lord
ship's judgment. After the noble shadyoo mad! 'Igzinst
Lord Mansfield, upon the question of libel, we ad ex
pect that you would not have suffered l'fizt niusim my"?
Icmztnca unacwmllncu. out ]! w" "]"?qu \ul\ Lavsu
Chics ].tshce Wilm'ot hzd been perdled upon to vssonch
' for an opinion of the late judge Yntes. which was su'
used to make against you; and vcte admit ofthe excu e.
(Then such detetsitable art: are employed to ,yre-judge :
question of right,'it might hue been impmdent, at that
time, to have brought it to I decision. ' in the present
instunce ypu will have no such opposition to contend
with. is there be: judge, oriawyer of any note, in
' .Wdlminsisiet-Hall, who shall be during enough to affirm
that, accordin to the true intendment of the laws of
England; 5 sess on, taken with the manner, in stagrami
lamb; il bssailzdje'; or that the discretion of an English
'udgeli petely arbitrary, and not governed b'y rules of
ctw, I shonid b'e glad to be lcquzinted ctwith him. Who
ever he be; {will take care that he will not give you
much trouble. Yoti: Lordship's character at'i'ures me that
you will assume that principal part which belong: to
_ qusiinsusspygxting tbeljm ding; ssct ngainfl : wicked.
si nge. who _makes it the occupztion of his life to mism
terpret'lod pervert them. if you decline thin honour:
ble office, I fear it will be said that, so-'- some month;
past, you hate kepttoo much company with the Duke
' os Gslfmn. 'When the contest turns upon the interpre
tation of the lnws you cannot, without a formal surren
det' of:" your reputation. yield ssthe post of honour even
to Lord Chntham. Considering the situation and nbili
ties of Lord Manssield, l do not scruple to affirm, with
the most solemn appeal to God for my sincerity, thzt,
in my jqdqtnem, he is,:he very worst, and most danger
ous, mln't'n the kingdom. Thus far ] have done my du
ty, in endeavouring to bring him to punishment.- But
mine is an inferior, ministerial office in the temple of
justice. l have bound the viflim, and dragged him to
the altar. jUNlUS.
