Lord TEYI4'HAM, in presenting a petition, took the
opportunity of defending himself from the attack made
against him last night by. a noble earl then present,
with reference to a case in which he had been con-
cerned in the Court of King's Bench. On the
case being mentioned by the noble earl, the learned lord
on the woolsack, stated that this house ought not to take
cognizance of the subject, as doubtless a new trial would
take place. He could assure the house that every exertion
would be made on his part to obtain a new trial, and he
had no hesitation in saying that he should then be enabled
to refute all the calumnies that had gone forth against him.
