NORTH WALES CIRCUIT.—Camas, AUGUST 7.

Mil Pain =ST.
On takiag big test this ii.ersiing, Lord ChiefJustieeJtrvie
thus addressed the court es the first case wet called :
Gentlemen, before you begin the mot, I wish, if I might be
permitted, to say a single word upon a matter which is per-
sepal to myself. I have learned this morning, to my great
surprise, that a morning peper has made me the subject of
en indignant article, which accuses me of jobbery, and the
g 00000 meat of a desire to yield to my application for a re-
twine pension, and that I am to be eievetted to the peerage
I need hardly say that in noticing it now, immediately the
matter hat been br .ught to my attention, that 1 hay* not
seta the article in qu. nor have I gad an opportunity
of observing is the newspapers the allusion that has been
made to the 'reports which are here referred to. I have
sista made inquiries of my friend Mr. Weloby, and
I find that the article in question was contained in
the Morning Chronicle, and knowing that fact end
the circumstances connected with that paper, I am not
at all surprised that I should have been made the subjeet
of aaimadversion and attack by the proprietor of th .t jour-
nal. Those who know me, sad who know to whom that
papist belongs, will, with me, treat the attack as a matter of
entire and suprtme contempt. I take this opportunity of
stating publicly that the whole is metal:4 fabrication ; that
I have bad, nor have I now, the slightest intention of
retiring from the high office I have the honour to hold;
sad I a have, either directly or Indirectiy, made the
slightest application for a voicing pension. To me this is
the first intimation of the honour which her Majesty in-
tends, as that journal states, te confer upon me. lan only
ezpreas my regret that there should be soy journals which
fabricate eircumstanoes for the purpose of making them the
ground of attack upon a public officer. With respect to say
jobbery that! may have committed, those who have marked
my professional life an answer for that ; ana I can say that
amongst jobs I do not reckon the stops I took in the opening
of the Court of Common Pleas for general practitioners,
though some men who Meld a brief in their lives, but
by accident, may fancy that I have interfered with their
business by such step. Now proceed with the case.
