quite Impossible that such proceedings on your part should not have
produced in my mind the very same conviction which Lord fire;
has pronebneed, " of your having been under a mental delusion as
the °lily cs.case that could be made for your conduct." I think it
is right also to inform you, that it wee this conviction alone which
prevented the respectable persons whom you have inacited from
adopting the steps stink lt might otherwise have suggested them-
selves ; and tinder these circumstances, I have considered it to be
my bounden duty, not only to the individuals themselves, but to the
in•erest of society at lsrgc, now to interpose most decidedly against
such a course of action as should be inconsistent wha the previous
determination, adoptet; upon lull consideration of your whole con-

EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM J. LOSIL,E9CL.TOEARL GREY,

........
DATED NEWCASTLE, FEB. 21, 1824.
" 1 have this moment received the letter which I enclose, and it
seems to me best to forward it at once to yourself."

TO JAMES LOSII, E6Q.
14, Conduit-street, Feb. 19, 1824.
My dear Sir—Before the writ against Lord (Trey is issued, 1 wish
to give him another opportunity of preventing the disclosure which
must inevitably be made if the matter is brought into Court. If it
is once there, no consideration shall induce me to withhold sn.
statement or evidence that I may think necessary, to pat the Jur,
and the country in possession of all the facts which can conduce to
a fair and just decision. You must now be satisfied that lam not
seeking revenge, which would urge me to take the most public me-
thod of effecting my purpose, when I make the following offer to
you. as Lord Grey's friend : —lf his Lordship wilt authorise you to
inform me that he was mistaken in imputing to me mental delu-
sion, I will desist from all further proceedings both against himself
and the Swinburnes. Less, I think you must in candour allow. I
could not ask for; you may be assured that my reason in making
this offer is to save an exposure to the two families alluded to, it I
can obtain without it what I consider necessary for my own clurJe-
ter. Hoping to receive an early answer from you, 1 remain, my
dear Sir, very truly yours, T. W. BEAUMON r.
