THE CASE 01 DiR. W. X. BARBER.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
SIR,—As an erroneous impression of my ease may be
formed to my prejudice by the report of the debate in the
House of Commons last night, I shall be grateful for the
insertion of this letter in your journal.

The opposition to the appeal made on my behalf pro-
ceeded mainly on the supposition that having received the
amount of the grant in 1859, I had accepted it in satis-
faction, and without complaint or showing its inadequacy
until now.

The facts are, that immediately upon learning that it
was intended to propose a grant of £5,000, Dr. Brady,
upon whose motion the select committee had been obtained,
wrote to the then Secretary of the Treasury, pointing out
that it was the desire of the committee that I should be
fully compensated, and showing that I had incurred actual
pecuniary losses through the prosecution to the amount of
nearly £20,000, expressing his hope, therefore, that the
Government would reconsider the amount of the contem-
plated grant. I also memoralised the Lords of the Trea-
sury to the same effect, accompanying the memorial with
a detailed explanatory statement.
Upon the motion of Dr. Brady, this memorial was printed
and circulated with the votes. _ _

The £5,000 was not paid until after the close of the
session of 1859, and the receipt I then gave was simply
an acknowledgment of that amount. In the following
session Sir Fitzroy Kelly presented my petition with the
object of obtaining such a further sum as would cover
the actual outlay to which I had been put, so that I
might have the £5,000 clear for my personal benefit.
No motion was then made to the house, a hope being enter-
tained that the Government might be induced to consider
the claim without further consuming the time of Parliament.
That hope having been disappointed, the steps with which
your readers are acquainted were taken in the present session.
Another misapprehension was that the speciality of my
case was confined to the treatment I received in Norfolk
Island. When a deputation of my friends waited upon the
late Home Secretary he stated that I had been prosecuted
by the Bank of England, adding that if I had been prose-
cute(' by the Government my case would have stood upon a
special and di.tin,t
Dr. Brady subsequently proved that I had been prose-
cuted by the Treasury, and this fact had evidently great
weight with the house and with the Government itself in
granting the select committee. So far as my friends and
myself can trace, I am the only person ever prosecuted by
the Government, and afterwards pardoned on the ground
of innocence.

There is therefore practically no force in the argument
that the Government, by aceeding to my appeal, would
subject themselves to numerous similar applications.
The special features of my case adverted to by the select
committee, in their report, are three :—First, the circum-
stances presented to their notice in respect to my convic-
tion; second, the treatment in Norfolk Island ; third, my
subsequent exculpation. And these the committee say
made my case peculiar and exceptional.
My conviction, as I have always complained, and as the
sequel proved, was obtained by the prosecution having shut
out the very evidence upon which my innocence was after-
wards proved and admitted.
This, of course, lay at the root of the catalogue of loss

liar claims upon the Government upon which I base my
appeal are, that mine was not a prosecution at the instance
of one subject against another, but specially directed by the
Lords of her Majesty's Treasury in regard to public moneys
the property of the nation, and that in the conduct of the
prosecution a course was pursued which rendered it simply
impossible for 131 Q to rebut the suspicion upon which my
conviction was obtained.
As there appears to be some misconception prevailing
relative to the ground on which the question was again
brought before Parliament, may I be allowed briefly to add
that Dr. Brady's motion was based up'n the conviction
that the " strong claims on the favourable consideration of
the Crown" which the committee considered I had were
not adequately met by the grant of £5,000, seeing that the
pecuniary loss I sustained by the unjust prosecution of
which I was the victim, to say nothing of the personal suf-
fering which -
I therefrom endured, amounted to fully four
times that sum.
