cootisly posted tlirottgitoot the metropolis.—
The Atroxi4EY-GeNEam., in stating the short
facts of the case to the Jory, con‘niented on. the
peculiar Atrocity that marked a libel of this
kind, which WAS eVicitintly levelled at the foonda•
tion of the Justice of the county; bV.CAdse it must
necessarily bring into hatred and contempt that
saCred function Width the Nobly Lord, so basely

libelled, had for Aunty years filled to the admi-
ration of all his triotempuraries, and the venera-
tion of everyhonest man. After paying to the Noble
Lord the meeil of Wise so justly due to him, he
extlerf•tbe witnesses to prove the case. He first
proved the conviction of the defendant and others
for the Stock Exchange Conspiracy, and then
called a bill-sticker named David Tulip, who
proved that he posted. copies of the placard in

rection 9f the defendant.

the Lord Mayor, &c. &c. Mr. Butt proceeded.
to examine them at considerable length, to spew
that he bail endeavoured, but in vain, to bring
this subject befor'e-Parliament. He also examined
several witnesses from the house of Gosling and
Co. Bankers, and endeavoured to establish that the
MOM bank note, paid by him for his fine, was

Ellenborongh's private account. It however ap-
peared clearly, that it scat paid to,the account of
Mr. Lushington, Master of the Crown Office, and
by him paid into-the Exchequer in due course.
