Sir, it is sort be Mr. Lytt'ltun is privileged as a
Member of Parliament to say what be pleases, that be sboold

and consequently to punisbotest. .•.
I make this politic appeal. that Mr Lytteltou'a latoeusge

he would bring some proof to justify such an assertion.—
Such proof (if it could he made) would be satisfactory to
myself, to the body of which I am one, and to the public at

the occasion), there can be hot one opioiou in the public
