TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN:

SlR—Referring to the proceedings of a recent'
Trial, I have to request that you will insert in
your Paper the following Letters.
kin, Sir, yours, &c.

CHARLES MILNER.

" Hotel, -.(lllcmcofe-strett, Feb.

consequence of the comments which, in the
course of the • receut Trial, v. a-ti made upon my evidence, I
have-to resit. -t that voi:a lay before his Royal Highness
lo
be pliasTil 10w7(1...i!:'" i • i 7,-It"11. .14_.
or in such utlcr man/p.nr as his Royal Highness may deem
most expedient, of iti,tifying my conduct, and of repelling
• the imputation. which those comments are calculated to 61
upon me.

" For the purpose of enabling his Royal Highness tojudge
of the ground upon which I prefer this request, I will shortly
state the subject and nature of my evidence.

" I was examined by Sir John Murray as to the haste with
which the dispatches on the 14th of June, 1813; were sent off,
and to prove that there was not sufficient time to have them
copied.

• " I stated fa answer to the question pet to me, that while
I:was copying the dispatch, Sir John Murray took it from
me, saying, there was no time to copy it.' I❑ the cross-
examination, the dispatch sent .by Sir John Murray to Lord
Wellington was handed to toe, and I was asked whether the
body of it was not in my hand-writing, ? implying tas it ap-
peaLs by the subsequent ..cr.Minent made by the Prosecutor
upon my testimony), that that &spateb- was itself a copy
taken by me, and that I had therefore contradicted myself.
I told .the Court distinctly, that it was most certainly my
14d-writing, having been transcribed by me front the letter
wfitten by Sir John Murray himself. It was therefore a du-
plicate original, and scot as such to t'ne Duke of Wellington
(as was the former, either to Lord Bathurst or yourself), and
was in the act of making a copy into the letter-book from
one of these originals, when Sir Joie► Murray took it from
me, before I had copied many lines of the letter, with the ex-
pressions above stated. Having explained this to the Court
at the time, and slated distinctly that ' Copy' I meanithat
which is entered in the letter-hook, I could hardly have ex-
pected that my evidence afterwards would have been exposed
to such misconstruction.

" I trust this statement will fully satisfy his Royal High-
ness of the consistency of my answer before the Court; as it
must be obvious,-that, when speaking: of the hurry, I alluded
to that which, in official language, is always understoodsto
be the copy of a- dispatch, viz. that which was to be pre-
served by Sir John Murray .Is his record, and entered in his
letter book ; and every man in the. least acquainted with pub-
lic business would so understand it. That the Court clearly,
understood me, I am perfectly satisfied, from the assurances
of my friends who were present at the time.; and that the
substance of the transaction was precisely as represented by
me, will appear front the proceedings; in which it will 'also`
appears, that, I there stated that by Copy,' I meant that
which is entered in the letter-hook.

" With respect •to the other part of Admiral HaDowell's
comments, I have the most ample means of proving, that the
last imputation to which I could justly be subject, is.that of
having shown any eagerness to disclose expressions which
came to my ears in the intercurse of my official situation, on
board the Malta. That wind-, I did mention, was in conse-
quence of a question that, as a witness, I was obliged to an-
swer.

." You will naturally suppose that I am anxious personally,
and for the honour of- the profession to which I belong, to
have an opportunityof repelling, in the same public manner
in which they have been given to the world, the insinuations
which have been thrown out upon the subject of invcricicece;
and I therefore again solicit your laying my humbie
tion before his Royal Highness for that purpose.
" 1 have the honour to be, Sir,
• Your obedient humble servant,
" CHARLES AHLNER,
" Captain of the Ist!' Light Dragoons.
" To Sir H. Torrens, K. C. B. &c. Hors:, Guards."
" Horse Guards, Feb. 20, l •
" Sta—Having laid before the Commander in Chief your
letter of the 9th inst. I have in command to acquaint you,
that his Royal Highness would willingly give attention to a
request, in which your private. feelings may be involved ; but
the matter which you refer to his Royal Highness's consi-
deration, not being a subject upon which he could, with prt-
priety, institute an inquiry, his Royal Highness can only
assure you, that the explanation which you have given of your
evidence, is quite satisfaceory to him.

TRIAL BY JURY IN SCOTLAND.

the 'Order of the Avhich their Lord-
Ibips weir .sunimoned, i•eim4treild,

The LORD CH,ANcELLoR, rose, to more the
_se--;
tond reading of the Bill for extending the Trial
1:v Jury to certain Civil f',o:4se in Scotland. The
"Noble and Learned Lira prefaced his motion by
re short speech, in whiCh he observed, that on the
juinciple or object of the Bill in question, lie did
tint anticipate much difference of opinion, espe:-
chilly as it vzas well known to he the general wish
and desire of the people for Whom the measure
vas calculpted, that the benelitS'OF the Trial by
Jury should be exrended to Civil Camels in that
country. The Trial by Jury in other cases had
been long established in Scotland, and its benefits
were felt ; and he certainly will of opinion, that
any chtinge to be made in 'a system of -So .much
importance as that possessed by the Bill, *mild
best be done gradually, and in a manner the most
desirable to those for whose benefit the change
was intended. He admitted, trial. respect to the
,present Bill, there must be much discussion Upon
its clauses in the Committee ; and the single ques-
tibn now before the House, he took to be, whe-
ther they should make the effort to introduce the
Trial by Jury to this ttent which this Bill:pro-
poses to introduce it ;, and, on those grounds, he
-trusted their Lordships would give a second read-
ing to the Bill. -
'The Earrof Moterom entertained doutts.as to
the beneficial effects of the proposed measure.
Ear! STANI-10PE spoke at some length upon the
subject; and made a variety of observations, more
or less hostile to the particular measure tinder the
consideration of their Lordships.. He doubted
much of the general sentiment in Scotland being
in favour of such a measure as that before the
House.

Lord GRENYILLE cordially approved of the
Bill's going to a C,ommitlee, were it only to en-
deavour to free it from imputed imperteetions4
The Earl of- LAUDERDALE followed, and ex-
pressed hiS opinion in favour of .going into
Committee upon the Bill. •
Viscount ..\.l.EuviLt.s was deilidedly in favour of
the measure, and felt' convinced that in a very
short period those who should experience thelbe-
Refits of the proposed.regulation, would cone for-
ward and state their wishes, that a farther pro-
gress might be made; and he had no doubt, not-
Withstanding what was said to the contrary, that
the Bill might be reduced in a. Committee to an
unobjectionable shape. •
After wl,ielr the Billy:as read a second time,
and conanittcd for Tuesday next.—Adjourned.
