and Cary tort.

Aldermen—Sir R. C. Glyn and B. Watson.

Sirs--H. Major, A. Hammond, W.,Dolben, and R. Ford

n the- Morning iferahi of -this day, a
'pa-r-dvaph stating, that I had done wisely in not
publi!.hing ro the world the account Of Thousands
dcduaed by the Jury from the sum claimed by me
for the Jewels on the 'Marriage of the Prince of
Wales ; and such a paragraph being conceived by
many of my friends to be inserted with a malicious
vkw to, injure my reputation in the opinion of the
Public, on whom I now depend for support :
I here state the exaa sum for which my claim
was made, to have beer 54,61 51. and the Verdid of
the jury to have been for 50,9971. ; -Ds. being a
diFierence of 3,6571. 101.—The sum for which the
Verdict was given was, in the opinion of the Wit_
ne.sses examined, the lowest amountat which such a
contrail could have been completed to any indivi-
dual in private life.
Upon so public an occasion as the Marriage of
the Prince of Wales, the price of every article
wanted was increased to me in the purchase, in addi-
tion to which, there were the expences of Insurance,
and .other charges of interest,. the contrad being
completed on my part eat y. in the year 95, and
the trial before Lord Kenyon not taking place till
-February 96.
The Jury considering the chance of loss to he at
.an end by their decision, gave their verdid with
the reelection of the sum mentioned, and I believe it
was never insinuated, till by the paragraph in the
Herald of this day, to have been a matter in any de-
gree refleaing upon my charaaer. Supposing, as I
did, that I was co receive the amount awarded, I
considered the decision of the Jury, to be both sa-
tisfaaory to my interest, and creditable to my re-
putation.
The wisdom for which I am commended in the
Herald, ,in keeping from the knowledge of the
Public, the amount of the deductions made by the
Jury, is a praise to which I am nor entitled, as I
have, for a considerable time past, advertised in the
Papers, that my Case, containing an accurate account
of the whole transaction, with the deduaion of the
jury, alluded to, might be had at my house by any'
person sending for it, some thousands of which have
been circulated ;. and the extraordinary interest ex-
cited in the minds of the Public on their perusal, is
highly gratifying to me, as it clearly proves the
opinion entertained by the world, of the great in-
juries I have sustained.
I am, Sir,
Your obedient Servant,
N. JEFFERYS.
