mistatement, which lieconsitlered a personal attack. •• NO man
is u 1 the Noble Earl) would afford stronger support to the mac-
tics of reporting the debates of this I tome than myself. I shonlil
not make complaint of misrepresentation, although I have been
more than once misrepresented in a gross and scandalous manner
in the same Paper. if it related to political argument; but the
subject I allude to is a misrepresentation of a perainal ridtttre.
and I cannot sufer it to pass, more particularly as the Right Rev.
Prelate, wholti it ia said I opposed, was not to oil. House to hear
what I really did say. I allude to an Even:ng Paper, T. Cu
tier, which circulates in the country. In the Report of a recent
debate I am made to reflect on the Right lice. Prelate the Bishop
of Lon on. If there ever was a MSC of misrepresentation. it is
tier. Your Lottlslups, I ant sure, will recollect, 1 went out of
my way to speak with respect of that Right Rev. Prelate, and
avoid personality. Ido feel anxious, as misrepresentations of
this character are abroad, to make this complaint. I will rot
tmulde your Lordships further on this subject at present." The
Noble Earl then adverted to a motion he lied to make for a Re
tarn of all Olti:es held in reversion within given data, anti eon
eluded by moving fur the NUM.—The nunion was sgrvi:d to.
