TH E QUEEN v. T EMIL OF
WALDEGRAVE AND ANOTHER..
;7 TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
Sir,—l think it proper, as the Solicitor of these defendants. to
inform you that the statement in the Herald of this morning, in-
treducing copies of affidavits alleged to have been tiled herein, is
untrue, for that .rio affidavits of any kird have yet been filed.
As the pubteation of such exparte copies of affidavits (which
must hate been improperly conveyed to the Herald) is calcu-
lated to prejudice the me of the defendants, I fed tt my dn'y
to trouble you with this note, and to request you to suspar.tl
the pithlicati'in- of such alleged copes of affidavits, until the
rase is heard on Alonday, when the affidavits on Loth sides
for the first time, be filed.

I am, Sir, your obedient servant..

SUNDAY FLOGGING.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Sit _Verily, Mr. Elitor, our public is " a puritame
,oi.e,"
piously ditpiip.d to hang a cat. for voracity on Santiny, and
much may ke said (is not much said ?) admit nispvet for
Public's religions :principle, moral feeling-s, and tender sen-
timents.
But, in the affair which has recently so called out etipres-
sions of Mrs. Public's opinion, there was a party who had (as
I am inclined to surmise) some feelings concerned, and I do
not find that any one has yet taken the pains to inquire what
they were.
Permit mo, then, to ask (as something to vary, the points of
discussion) what private Rogers thought of Sunday flogging,
or whether be would hare preferred "getting his hundred" on
ome other day ff the.wek as equiilly conducive to his soldierly
bearing and manly conduct, and less-at variance with his de-
votional observance of " the tor 4 nay."
Ily caling attention to this point of • the case, may pas-
sib'y Alain some rns\te that. will help to a right judgMerir.
•Your col4stant reader,
• • LATITUDINARIAN.
