SWEET AND LEVY.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES.
Sir,—An account appeared in the daily papers of
Friday last of some proceedings at the Westminster
County Court on Wednesday last, from which it would
appear that I was committed by Mr. Moylan, for what
he considered an insult to him. I take the liberty of
requesting you will allow me, through the medium of
your influential journal, to state that the observation
was addressed by me, not to the judge, but to my coup'
sel, Mr. Hughes, who corroborates the same.• Furthert
your report states that an apology was tendered yestfr•
day morning. This, however, was not the case; I made
no apology either verbally or written, I having intended
no insult. I would further respectfully take the same
means of informing the public, that my solicitor•
sued
out, yesterday morning, a writ of habeas corpus,-.re-
turnable before Mr. Justice Erle the same day; and im-
mediately on receipt of such writ, in consequence of an
intimation being given yesterday morning early of my
intended application, I was discharged by order of Mr. •
Moylan' before the time my solicitor could obtain.sucli...
writ of habeas corpus, it being well known the commit-.`
went was altogether illegal; and an action will be forth-,.;
with commenced, in order to try the validity of the.
commitment, and evidence .will be produced on the"
trial to explain the cause of Mr. lltloylaii acting in the;
harsh manner he did towards me, and I also intend to.
memoralize the Lord Chancellor as well as the Iloaio- .
Secretary, in order to bring the facts before them 0
fully investigate.—l am, Sir, your obedient servant.
