EPITAPH.

We conceive it to be la just tribute to departed
worth, and a moral duty to hold forth a merito-
rious example, by the insertion of the following
EPITAPH inscribed on a splendid Monument erect-
ed in Carnets Church, to the memory of WILLIAM
WAINWRIGHT, Esti. his Lord Ship's late Agent in
Ireland, on which is engraved the following in-
scription :

Sacred to the Memory of
WILLIAM WAINWRIGHT, Esq.

Who on the sth day of July, 1813, and in the 74th Year of his

Age, closed an honourable Life,
The last Thirty-three Years of which bad been devoted
to the Management of the Wentworth Estates

in Ireland

the discharge of which undertaking he properly felt that
the Welfare of the Tenant was no less coni!!itted to
his care than the Interest of the Landlord.

These two purposes, appals:v.lly opponent and incompatible
with each other, were, however, conjointly the objects of
his efforts, and in pursuing this difficult task of balancing
impartially different interests, he had the rare happiness of
-giving satisfaction to both parties: the 'Fenant felt that his
comfoits were well provided for, the Landlord that his in-
terests were fully considered : of his success in both these
points, the universal lamentation of the Tenantry, and
the deep regret of the Landlord for his death, afford irre-
fragable proof.
He had long acted as aMagistrate in the County'of Wick-
-lose, to the great advantage of a district where jutting in
terests naturally give rise td petty feuds, and to frequent ap-
peals to Magisterial- influence ; on such occasions it was his
practice to lay aside the authority of the -Magistrate, and
to resort to the influence of the Man, the common Friend,
the unprejudiced, impartial Arbiter, the just and equitable
Composer of Differences : under his conciliating manage-
ment this method seldom proved unsuccessful; and thus he
attained the great object of his life, that of promoting the
happiness of all those under his immediate care, by inspir-
ing them with sentiments of good-will toward, each other,
and by diffusing a spirit of general harmony.
. _

To perpetuate the memory of a mind so benevolently dis-
posed, of conduct so usefully benefie.nit, and at the same
time to record the Oeep sense entertained of his exemplary
fidelity, and in testimony of the most affectionate remem-
brance of his unwearied attachment,

This Tablet is inscribed by WI Lt.tAm Earl FITZWILLIASI.

SURREY INSTITUTION, DEC, 8, 1817.

MR. EDITOR,—The friends to the general Edu-
cation of the Labouring Class will learn with sa-
tisfaction that their favourite principle is advanc-
ing with steady pace to its universal adoption.
In this Parish of Christchurch it has lately been
ascertained that there are upwards of three hun-
dred Children destitute of the means of attaining

useful leatning, and although there are Schools
already established for educating' upwards of one
hundred and forty children, upon the National
Society's plan, supported by the voluntary con-
tributions of the inhabitants, yet no sooner was
the tact above stated made known, than they ge-
nerously carne forward to remedy the evil. •
A General Meeting of the Parishioners was con-
vened on the .sth instant—SAmocc Rontr:sora,
Esq. in the Chair ;- when,- upon the motion of
the Rev. ROWLAND HILL, it was unanimously
resolvvd— ' •
ThLt: a Society be now formed, upon the
Royal British System, for the Instruction of
the Children of Parents of every religious deno-
mination in Reading, Writhg, and Arithmetic—
and to the females Needle-work, in addition ; and
that- the same be denominated The Christchurch
Surrey School Society."
A Subscript ion was immediately opened, and
several liberal donations were made, for carrying
the object of the Meeting into effect.—lt is a
fact, which ought not to be omitted, teat this
Establishment owes its origin mainly to the exer-
tions of the philanthropic GEORGE DAwEs, one
of the Society of Friend; ; and it is another proof,
it proofs were wanting, of the genuine benevo-
lence which characterizes that highly and descry-
ediy respected class of the commuaity.
As the publication of facts like the present is
the most likely mode to stimulate others to " go
and do likewise," an early insertion of this com-
munication will very much oblige, Sir,

Vour obedient servant,
KNIGHT SPENCER.

CORONER'S INQUEs F.

An Inquest was taken at Peterborough on Fri-
elly the 21st ult. by JOHN ATKINSON, Gent. Co-
roner for the hundred of Nassaburgh, upon the
body of a person then unknown, who Was found
drowned in Peterborough river on the same morn-
ing. Verdict—" Found Drowned." A card of
address, `` ‘Valtham ail Andrew, ship-isourance-
brokers, Crown-court, Threadneedle-street,"
was found in the pocket of the deceased, which
induced the Coroner to write to those Gentlemen,
under a supposition that they might know some-
thing of him or of his friends ; and it ltdd the
desired effect. They communicated the sad tidings
to the afflicted wife and brother of :the de-
ceased, who were then in London, which they-left
immediately afterwards, and arrived in yeterbo._
rough soon enough to folloW the body to the grave
on Sunday evening. It appears that the .de-
ceased and his friends lived at 'Jessie, near
and that he was Captain and part owner of
a brig which sailed from that port ; that he had re-
cently returned from Oporto (whither his wife
had accompanied him) with a cargo of wine con-
signed to a merchant in London, but when the
vessel reached the docks, and her cargo had been
discharged!, owing to the unpropitiousness of the
voyage (in the course of which it became necessary
to stave several pipes of wine in a gale of wind),
and from other circumstances, it was deemed ad-
viseable to sell the vessel, and accordingly the
deceased and his brother had
.given directions
to Messrs. Waltham and Andrew to do so.—
nese things preyed upon the poor man's mind,
and he left hiS wife and brother, rather ab-
ruptly, on Thursday alternoon the 20th, but
they were under no apprehension that he was
gone from London, until they were informed of
the melancholy event which had taken place in
I eke manner above stated.

PROVINCIAL JOURNALS.

The attempts that have bten made h-v the or-
position Writers to impute the rebell.ous tuovc-

ments in Derby and other places to the emissaries
of Government, and mote particularly to a tnan
named OLIvEr., induced us to extrac an account
Of the ..ise and Fogless of Close movements front
The Leeds Intelligencer .of the 17th nit., which we
inserted on the 22d followit g. The Leed->•lfritelli-
geneer promised to resume the narrative in its fol-
lowing Number, but with that discretion, and re-
gard to truth, for which it is distinguished, it did
not continue its account till the 8:11 inst., most
probably because it was anxious to ascertain the
authenticity of ail it asserted. The narrative so
completely rcfntes the fallacious reports of the
Opposition Writers, and so fully clears, the cha-
racter of Government, that we tkis day give the
conclusion of this interesting recital :

" Let us try to save the Con try from the terric and de-
solating consegoences of any counivattee wit h the apostles of
blasphemy and anarchy; and let u: rather pursue them into
every obscure corner of the kiugdorn, where they fabricate,
and from whence they distribute among the miseraille dopes
of their wiclicd designs, the poison which they. have art
enough to pass for food, and the coals which they vend fur
gems."—(White Dwarf)

THE LATE CONSPIRACY.

" In our Paper of the lith ult. we brought
down the progress of the conspiracy to the pe-
riod when Mitchell found Oliver with Penclrill the
hoot-maker, at Pendrill's house in New•gate-
street, London. Previous to this period, not only
was Oliver, but even Pendrili entirely
ignorant that any fresh design of insurrection ►vas
on foot, since the failure at Spa-fields. The plan,
however, it will be recollected,. had been finally
determined upon at the Central Meetings, in Pea
Scholes's house, at Wakefield ; and Mitchell was
merely sent up in older to ascertain if London
could still be depended upon for assistance ; when
those conversations took place, which first en-
abled Oliver to give any information on the sub-
ject to Government.
" In answer to Mitchell's questions as to the
state of the Metropolis, l'endrill said he had no
doubt that London could produce 70,000 men.—
That was the number which had assembled at
Spa-fields ; and if a rising took place in the coun-
try, l►e thought the same number would _come for-
ward again. He was, however, decidedly of
opinion that the Government w4s too strong to
be overthrown, and said that he, for his part, hail
made up his mind to go to America ; though at
the same time he added, ti►at if Mitchell would
take Oliver through the country
.with him, and
meet ldin at Liverpool, with a favourable report
of appearances, perhaps he might be induced to
trait at►d see the result. Tl►is was agreed upon ;
and this accounts for Oliver subsequently making
his appearance with Mitchell as the London dele-
gate. Penclrill went on with tl►e winding up of
his affairs. Michell and Oliver remained some
time longer i❑ London; where Mitchell, as he
says himself, had interviews with Sir Francis Bur-
dett, Major Cartwright, and Mr. Hunt, on the
state of the Country, and was strengthened in his
opinion that there was every prospect of success.
These interviews, it will be observed, account
for the declarations of Mitchell and Oliver to the
disaffected, that they had .been sent by these
gentlemen, in order to ascertain the state of the
country.
" Oliver, meantime, reflecting on the objections
of Pendrill, and on the reasons urged by him in
support of his conviction tl►at Government was
too strong to be overthrown, became a convert to
Pendrill's opinion ; and determined, perhaps from
horror at the useless effusion of blood which he
saw was about to deluge the country, to divulge,
in the proper quartet., w•hat he knew of the con-
spiracy. He accordinglyprepred a letter, stating
' the nature of the information he had to give, and
intimating what services he still might have in
his power to perform, which be carried himself to
thethliee of tl►e 1-tome Depar;n►eut, where it was
delivered to Lord Sidn►outh.

This was the point of time, therefore, at
which he first had any communication whatever
%vizi) Govern►uent ; and at this perioil, without
Oliver's intervention, Lord Sidmouth was already
in possession of most of the tacts commuu►►icated in
Oliver's letter. This very circumstance, how-
ever, of
/course, corinced his Lordship that
Oliver really was in the secrets of the conspiracy
and feeling, consequently, no hesitation ro accept
his services, Oliver was intiodured to him. This
was about the end of March. In a series of inter-
views a plan of operations was agreed upon--a
principal feature in which was, with a view not
only of defeatitig the intended rising, but of pre-
venting it even front breaking out, that Oliver
should ec/rrectly report who were the leaders in the
country, in order that by the simpli means of an-
resting them, bloodshed might be prevented, and
even the most active members of the conspiracy
themselves, by timely apprehension, be saved
front the commission of those crimes which would
forfeit their lives to the outraged laws of the

Count vv.
" Ail being ready on the 25th of April, Oliver
and Mitchell (the latter by no means sotspectilig
the views of his associate) quiAed London to-
gether by the ;NI TI•o:y passed direct through
Birmingham to Derby, ..vh,..re thev remained pot
more than ten minutes, merely while horses were
changing. In this short interval, however, Mite
chell found'tinle to introduce Oliver to Mr. Ro-
bertShasx, at the Talbot Inn, as his particular
friend. They went on that night (the 26th of
April) `to Sheffield,od the next day to Wakefield,
the head-quarters, Mitchell introducing Oliver at
a Meeting held at Scholes's house, there, that,
night, and every where else, as a delegate from
London. They were subsequently at Dewsbury
(where Oliver was introduced to Mr. Willan,
who made himself as conspicuous in these trans-
actions), Leeds, and other places. Thns.be was
carried about by Mitchell to different meetings,
till the sth of May. On that important day, the
Central Meeting of Delegates took place at
Scholes's, in Wakefield, pursuant to adjourn-
' meat. The.different delegates attended, and made

their rettirn-s of thephysical force of tiieir'resliec-
tire dist' icts, disposed to rub all risks. Birniing-
'ham distriet was rcprescoteil to be able to furnish
a force 'of 150,000 men (it will be recollected this!
'the Manchester I)l4l:deers intended to take Bir-
mingham in their route). Sheffield, it was stated,
would product. 10,000 Met. Tons Bacon gave in
-30,000 as the forces of Derby, Nottingham, and
.Leicester "(and 30,000 more, if wantei;.)—Mit-
chell,,on the au tliority of Pendrill and others, re-
'ported London as having a force of 70,000 ;---7
and -so on, each delegate reporting the effec-
nionhe'r of the disaffected in his division.
" Oliver, having made his Ohservation3, soon
after this quitted Wakefield and went on to Liver-
)iool, to see Pendrill according to appointment.
He reported the state of affairs to Pendriil, who
-said he was satisfied all was going on well, hut
'that he would not await the issue of the struggle,
and he accordingly set sail for Anietica.
" Was now taken into custody; mid
-Oliver retnruell to London, making his way
through Bradford, Leeds, and Nottingham. On
his arrival at Nottingham, of which place lie had
been told, at %Wakefield, Toni Bacon WO 3- the
presentative, he went out to inquire for him,while
the coach passengers were dining : but no such per-
son was known in the town; Bacon being, in tact,
a resident at Pentridge, and Oliver being entirely-
ignorant who lie really was. This circumstance
not only falsifies the intimacy said to have sub-
sisted betweeo Oliver and Bacon ; but it also ac-
counts for Bacon not having been like the other
pilucipal leaders, arrested, which event wonld
have saved himself from transportation for life;
and night probably have entitely prevented the
Derbyshire insurrection. In fact, use may just
observe here, that Oliver's information, from the
40er peliod of his knowledge of ;he conspiracy,
and his superficial acquaintance with the persons
engaged in it, was frquently incorrect, ns to the
rniantite. None of his communications were ever
laid before the Secret Committee of Parliament,
the most important particulars being ascertained
front other ion' more respectable quarters ; nor
was any individual arrested solely on his evidence.
Every person apprehended was known to be en-
gagedin the conspiracy, front the concurrence of
unimpeachable testimony. We had a proof of
Oliver's inaccuracy in this district, he having
made an erroneous report to Sir John Byng, of
the place of meeting, when some of the disaf-
fected were arrested on the 6th of June, at Thom n-
hill Lees.

" On the 23d of May, Oliver left London again;
and being now without his former companion,
Mitchell, he could only pursue the same track
throt►gh which Mitchell had taken him. Ile knew
tiobody except through ;Mitchell's introduction.
On his arrival at Birmingham, he found things
going on as hail been stated at the Central Meet-
ing in Wakefield, the del6zate.,9 being completely
c►,n,joined. ()Li the 25th ..of May (Sunday), he
reached Derby, and went directly to Robert.-
dia-tv's. lie was too late for the family dinner, and
was sliewn into a private room. ‘Vhilst there, Ito-
bet tshaw came in, and accos!ing hint, sail his face
%Vas-familiar to him ; WheW Oliver reminded him
of his haviog been intioduced to him some time
before by Mitchell. Some conversation then'took
ulace on Mitchell's fate, and other• topics; and
Oliver having expressed a wish to be introduced
at Nottingham, Roberts,haw sent tor two or three
persons with that view, one of wl►om, Mr. Birkin
(nowrio custody) came; and a good deal of con-
versation passed.

" On thr 27th, the next day,Birkin accompanied
Oliver to Nottingham, and winced him to the
Secret Committee assembled there, among whom
were Haynes, Holmes, Grosvenor, Henson, and
Frank Ward. At this time Oliver did not know
a human being at Nottingham, and only got to
the Committee through the mediton of Birk.in,
after undergoing a strict examination ou two dif-
IE rent floors, before he reached the third, which
the conspirators occiipird.—He was inrroduced
by Riikin as an old Friend, and was informed by
the Committee that they were all ready. On this
hs on all former occasions, Oliver's first act was
to go to the Magistrates, and inform them of the
objects he had i view—Communicating to them,
afterwards, the result of his infinities.
" On Tuesday he set off again for Yorkshire,
and reported to the Sheffield Magistrates what lie
had heard, in the same manner as he had done at
Birmingham and Nottingham. Front Sheffield he
had proceeded to Halifax, Manchester, and Liver-
pool, and retitrning through Manchester, came to
Leeds. In all these towns, he had communicii-
lions both with the insurgents and the Magis-
trates ; ascertaining from the former (as well as.
he could) the extent of their arrangements, and
preparing the others for the worst that might
happen. He reached Leeds on the sth, and was
taken in this neighbourhood, as is well known,
by Sir John Byng's cavalry. He escaped from
this dilemma, and fled to Ben `choler's house, in
Wakefield, where he saw Scholes, who accom-
panied hint to the Leeds Coach. By this time
the WAefield party began to suspect him to be a
spy, and they were at once confirmed in their sus-
picions, by Sir J. Byng:s servant being Observed
to come up and deliver hint a letter, while he was
sitting in the coach. The conspirators instantly
took the alarm, and, as may naturally be suppos-
ed, every pains were taken to turn the tables,
and to exclaim, it was this Government Spy who
bad originated all the plots and con:piracies. In
this effort, the Traitors were zealously seconded
by the disaffected portion of the public press.
The evidence, however, is now so
,clear, as to
leave no doubt upon the mind of every rational
man. The conspiracy was completely organized.,
and ready for execution, before Oliver became ac-
quainted, with the project. He was employed
solely to obtain all the informatioo lie could, in
addition to the ample details already in possession
of Government ; and sot far was he front urging
the rising, that the parties in custody accuse him
of proposing thlay Os the fact was), in order
to afford-time for thei'r being arrested; and there-
by'fra:ing the'refiellion..
" Saturday night the 7th of June, lie reach-
ed -Nottilighani; and finding there his friend Birk-
in;was introdneed to the Secret Committee. 'To
0;01 he'relateil the particulars of his escape, and
prophSed A further poStnotrtnent of the iiiihrreC:.
; but having previously prevailed upon them j
to put off the rising trout the night after Sir F.

finrilett's motion, to the 4;lt of sns.picions
instantly -arose of his being a spy and the Com-
mittee, conceiving themselves sftong enough lot
their own !rosiness, determined to rise at 0
events on the night of the 91b,.which lrad subse-
quently been fixed upon for a general effort.—
When Oliver had refired, Haynes particularly
urged that he was a spy ; and his assassination
was determined upon ; but lie got away that
night, and was in London the next day.
4‘ And at this point °terminate the motions of
Oliver amongst the Conspirators. The
which we again declare is upon unimpeathable
and most respectable authority, proves, that,
though aupiainted with the plans of the insur-
gents, he was in no respect conreined in their
fortnaliO,l7—the whole system having been ma-
tured bii.tre 'Mitchell's arrival at Pcioltill's shop
in Loudon, where Oliver was first introduced to

" The al,u•m conse•yuent noon the arrest of so
many of the Conspirators, and upon their suspi-
cions of. Oliver, soon spread throughout all the
districts implicated in tl►e Treason. The Central
Meetings at Wakefield being broken np, all were
a 7. a loss how to act. The systen of co-opera-
tion was broken. The unity of design was de-
stroyed. The principal leaders being in custody,
their foliowe►s were not dati►►g enough to take
the field, except a few of the most desperate, awl
the :t►ost credulous, at Unddersfield, and at Derby,
and Nottinghaut ; and tints th..tt bloody compact,
which might have laid ptostrate England's hap-
piest hopes, was, by the prudence of Govern-
met►t, under the blessing of Divine Providence,
completely dissolved.
" it has already been stated, that the Notting-
lv.on Committee, dissatisfied with the delay pro-
posed by Oliver, came to the determination, at all
hazards, of calling forth their forces on the 9th of
June. Jeremiah Brandreth, the Not,inghain
Captain, had been selected as a fit man to conduct
the men of Pent ridge, and the adjoining parkhes,
to Nottingham. Ills lirn►ncss was unquestioned,
and his courage had b,0:11 proved on many des-
perate and trying occasions. He had accordingly '
ncen fornkbrd with a map ut Derbyshire, on
which the different posts at which he was to as-
semble his forces were pointed out. Ile then re-
ceived his filial orders, to be with his Men, armed
in the best way practicable, on Nottingham► Forest,
at two o'clock on the morning of the 10th. He
set out on his expedition in company' with Tom,
Bacon, and never afterwards returned to Notting-
ham. This was on the sth ot June, and from that
day till the Bth, he was actively engaged in paying
visits of observation to Bwanwick, Belper, Mire-
ton, and other villages in the neighboorhood, as-
certaining tl►e number of tl►e Insurgents, and
giving directions where they were to assemble on
the 9th.

" Brandreth committed the fortunate error of
not appearing on Nottingham Forest with :kis men
at the appointed time. Instead of marching di-
rectly to the point of rendezvous, he felt assured
that the Nottingham men would act without him ;
confidently asserting to his followers, that Not-
ting,ham would be in complete possession of the
Insurgents before morning; ; atuf idly spent that
time in marching aud counter marching from
house to house, collecting a gun here and a into
there, which. according to his instructions, should
hove been employed in bringing op his force to
join the main body.
" Au immense force, it is known, was drawn
out in the neighbout hood of Nottingham. There
was not a single approach to the town which was
not, on the night of the 9th, strongly guarded,
and a watch•word used ; and large bodies, well
armed, were dispersed ep and down, waiting for
the coming up of the Pentridge men, and other
-insurgent forces.
Had they proceeded to action, it is beyond a
-doubt that Nottingham must have fallen into their
hands ; au event alone sutlicieut,, front the scenes
of rapine and bloodshed with which it most have
been attended, to have excited the most:painful
feelings in the whole country.
" But so many circumstances had previously
occurred to excite the alarm and suspicions of the
remaining leaders, that they continued to wait for
the coining up of Brandreth ; and finding he (lid
not make his appearance by day-light, they agreed
on dispersing for the present.. Next day. the fatal
dispersion of Brandreth's men, and the arrest of
steinany of the Conspirators, with the conviction
that all their plans were known, 4hrew a final
(I,"inp upon their spirits, and compelled them, for
the present at least, to abandon all thoughts, of
.re-
assembling their adherents.
" Nottingham was to have been the capital,
and seat of the Insurgent Government, and to-
wards the maintaining- of this post, all the insur-
gents were to direct their strength, Leeds, Man-
chester, Birmingham, Sheffield, &c. &c. were all
to send their forces thither, in order that they
Might be consolidated and properly organized.—
Diversnins were to be made in other directions,
so as to distract the attention of fsiinisters : and
the soldiers were every where to have been
tempted by the most liberal offers to join the
rebels.
" Bacon was the. most zealous and active of the
Pentridge leaders. When the Seditious Meetings
Act passed, their meetings were held privately at
Asher field's barn and elsewhere ‘; and here Bacon
urged every argument to inspire confidence. lie
paid visits to Manchester, Birmingham, and other
manufacturing towns, bringing track the most
Mattering accounts of the preparations in those
places. The vermin-proposed to be killed by the
Pentridge Conspirators, consisted of Colonel
liaison, and a numerous list of respectable Ma-
gistrates.
. .
" On the night of the 9th of June, three blood
horses were stationed on the road between Not
titigham And Birmingham, in order to convey to
the latter town, by express, the news of a success-
ful attack upon NottinghaM. Birmingham, of
course, would instantly have been up, anti all other
toWns implicated, in succession.
" It is a singular fact, that the Luddites exe-
Mucci at Leicester, wbir had been tried at the
Sluing 4Ssiies, confessed that a plan had been
foianed for insurrection and rebellion, and that
the o/d. Neds'• (Luddites) were to -command.—
&Hue of the most desperate of these had been
appointed to sterns the Barracks, and perform
other dangerous duties, Frank Ward, Grosve.

cotnnlA.nn.i, Hnd lvld at than early period p t.:retied

The c6nntry ought ti rejoice at its escape
from the frig‘lit'fil danger which I►ur4,, over it—a
danger, the ek't'e'n't of whi,ch is perceived to be of
greater magnittide the wore the citcwnstanees of
it are examined. 'lli'entgh we cannot sutrer our-
selves to think. that the Treason would ultimately
have triumphed '; yet, "n ideas it had been prti-
deutly itul vigilantly defeated in the manner which
we have seen, it is not assuming too much to pro-
nounce that the Empire would have been for a
tiMe, at least, r brown into uproar and devasta-
tiotr,„and that the consequences n'onld bkiye been
such as the Nation could never- have ceased to de-
plore." •

LAW IN rELLIGENCE.

COURT OF CHANCERY, DEC. 9.

EX-PARTE :HUGHES IN THE MATTER OF' RICHMOND.

The 140.11 D CHANCELLOR observed this morning,
with reference to this case, that the contradic-
tory evidence to which he had yesterday alluded,
with regard to the real purchase of the leasehold
property of the plaintiii, was contained not-in
affidavits, but in the depositions taken before the
Commissioners. Had it not been for the issue,
which the .assignees were so ill advised as to take,
he should have decided at once that they ought
not to pay the costs of any of the proceedings
prior to that time. The question was now in some
degree alreted, and he should state his impression
concerning it hereafter. The whole of the•property,
however, must be restored to the bankrupt, or to
Mrs. Hughes, with the costs of all prOceedings
had subsequewly to the last trial at law between
the parties. There was another point relative to
the recovery of damagus which it !night be neces-
sary for him to put into a shape for the considera-
tion of a Jury. As to the conduct of Mr. Wells,
who was charged with a contempt of the authority
of the Court, he should only at present say, that
it ought to he understood from that place that no
pecuniary indemnity to which Mr. Wells might
be entitled from the assignees could shield hint
from the consequences of that contempt, it he had
in point of fact been guilty of it. Having said
thus much, he should deliver himself fully un the
subject to-morrow morning.
