PRIVATE HEARINGS,
•Tht Leap CHANCELLOR, on coming into Court
at ten o'elock, asked Mr. Heald if he knew *he.
thee 'Mr. Wetherell had seen the affidavit in the
case which be had mentioned to Oki 'on Thursday'
morning ?
Mr. MAU, said that be did not know.
The LORD CHANCELLOR—" Let the affidavit be
brought from my private room and shewn to Mr.
Wetherell. Idu not care if I never go into that
private room'again. I vim info►med yesterday in the
House of Lords that there were• some ►troog com-
ments in one of the public, newspapers (out THt
BRITISH Pans) on my hearing mat Petition of
Comedy', which Mr. Ching stated affected The li-
berty of the subject, in tuy private room; I did not
do so of my own accord ;,it was lathe request of
the Counsel on both *idea. and when so re-
quested, 1 have olwkys considered it my duty to
comply. At the seine time, I am-lbr from thinking
that a Lord Chancellor would go beyond his duty
in mdering a case to he so heard, where a ward of
Court is coneerned, or the happiness of • family.
That man must be without feeling tLat would heap
snisfortone on misfortune."
Mr. URAL') stated, that it would be in the recut-
lectionof his Lordship that there was no perms'
present at the helping but Oa Counsel and the
Solicitors of the parties, yet, whet had passed, or
something like it; appeared in one of the news-
papers. He eertaiply could oot bat coosider it a
breach of professional confidence.
A Solicitor, we Wier, for the Petitioner, assured
his Lordship, that although he bad been applied
to, he hod not communicated to any person ',hat
had passed ou the occasion iu his Lordship's private
room.
The LORD CBANCILLOR—" I give you full
credit for your swum°, Sir ; but II agree with Mr.
Heald, there most have been a breach of pram.
;tonal confidence somewhere, and from my know-
ledge of the bar, I am sure it is not with them ; such
a breach cannot be too much reprobated, giving
publicity to the destruction of an unfortunate In-
font, although a ward of Court, by seduction, in
my opinion could not give the public much satis-
faction. The man who read the rffidovit iu this
case, and gave it publicity, his feelings ■re not to
be envied, for he must be devoid of all those good
and honourable. feelings which so honest OHM
could wish to possess."

vades the manufacturing classes in that extensive
district, of so smvattsfactcry a nature, that they have
ordered Lord TaLwoe to repair thither and join his
regiment immediately. fits Lordship, who was pre-
poring to visit the Continent, has, in consequence,
beam obliged to give up his plan, end left town for
Staffordshire on Thursday evening.--(Averring

Petitions are preparing in all the principal market
towns of Yorkshire against Mr. WYNN', Bill for
regulating the future election of County Members.
A general feeling prevails, that the regulations pro-
posed by this measure will, in their operation, die-
! solve that close connexion between the landed,
commercial, and manufacturing interest., which so
strongly characterises that county. The suggestion
for petitioning against the Bill originated at the
,Pontefract Sessions, of which Hock PARKER, Etl.
was Chairman.
