"My dear Sir,—l was much pleased to learn from you
that Mr. Walters was disposed to set himself right in
this business by the only course open to a man of honour
on such an occasion.

" I would, however, beg to observe, that Mr. Walters's
contradiction of the false charges brought by him against
me should be given in writing, as well as his apology.
W.Ords uttered nt a public meeting, even if otherwise
satisfactory, may not be distinctly heard or fully under-
stood by all who aro present; and the reparation which
Mr. Walters seems to meditate might consequently fall
short of what is due to me for the injury he has done me.
"-I concur in the propriety of your granting Mr.
Walters time to make the inquiries he desires; for, al-
though a gentleman should not make these serious
charges without being at once prepared to establish them
by evidence, I wish to deny him no facility of justifying
his conduct. I would only observe that Mr. Walters
should be diligent in his investigation:—First, because
lam suffering undeservedly by every hour that his
charges against me pass uncentradicted; and, secondly,
because his honour and character for veracity are called
in question.

" Bdieve me, yours very truly,
" London, April 1, 1352." " WILLIAM HUTT.
Not hearing from Captain Weatherley for several
days, on the 3th of April I addressed the following
letter to him. I felt that Mr. Walters was exceeding
all reasonable indulgence by the time he was requi-
ring to investigate the truth of his own charges, of
the real nature of which be might be satisfied in five
minutes by consulting " Hansard's Debates" (a copy
of which is in the library of the Philosophical So-
ciety of Newcastle), or any other Parliamentary
record.

"No. IV.

4, My dear Sir,—l am greatly mortified to be com-
pelled to infer, by your silence, that you have been un-
able to bring this unpleasant affair with Mr. Walters to
a termination of some sort. I was very willing to grant
to Mr. Walters any reasonable time to ascertain whether
the grave charges he had brought against me could de-
rive justification from facts, but I cannot allow his re-
searches to go on for ever.
"If Mr. Walters shall not be prepared, by the time
this letter reaches you, either to withdraw his charges or
to substantiate them, I must conclude that he is trying
to trifle with us, and that he is designing to escape from
the position in which his erroneous statements have
placed him. "Ycurs very truly,
" London, April 5,1852." " WILLIAM lllrrr.
On the 7th inst. I received a brief note from Capt.
Weathcrley, informing me that, up to the previous
day, Mr.
ahafdull
made
against Walters had agreed to nothinv M
week to u";* howr°
ascertain
me could be

justified by fact. I apprehended, therefore, that he
was aiming at delay, and that he
was seeking
to
escape by chicanery from the position
in which his
disregard to the obligations cf gentlemen now placed
HE,. 'quitted London, and repaired to the North. On
Thursday morning, the Bth '
with Capt. Weatherly, wh ' finst., I had an interview
Mr. Walters several times in vain. however, that
in error with respect Halters)
had acknowledged he was
motion, but that heo my vote on Mr. Trelawney's
to his other charges,
refused to make this admission as
establish them. though he alleged nothing to
of a candidate Astonished
fo that any one in the posi-
tionr Parliament should be willing,
for any consideration,
I thus to disregard the first laws
of social morality,
t determined, before taking the
last and painfulwhich the circumstances of my
position imposed ()en')
Lir. Walters. laccordingly wrote to him the fol-
lowing letter :

No. V.
" Half-Moon Inn, Gateshead, Sth April, 185‘2,
" Sir,—l have this day seen Capt. J. D. Weatherloy,
and I have understood from him that you decline to
withdraw the charges which you brought against me at
the public meeting held on Thursday, the 3d ult., at the
Low Fell, Gateshead.
" I beg to ask you whether you persist in that refusal?
" The bearer of this letter awaits your reply.
" Your obedient Servant,
" ll4lph Walters, Esq. " WILLIAM HUTT."
Mr. Walters sent back the verbal reply, that `• be
had given his answer to Ccpt. Weatherley, and that
he had nothing farther to say." I then immediately
closed this disagreeable intercourse,
. as far as I am
concerned, by the following Vetter :
No. .
