BUCKINGHAM CORRESPONDENCE.

ibis. EntTon—Although I feel convinced that
both you and your Readers must wish the unin—
teresting subject of the petty politics of this
lloi-ougli brought to a close, I cannot resist al*

temptation of replying to an amusing Letter,
" purporting to be" from Mt. BAINBRIDGE, the
present Bailiff, inserted in your Paper of Siitur

day last, in answer to what be is pleased to tenni

a " modest" Letter of mine; and whilst request-
ing the indulgence of a 5:1w11 space in your Co-
lumns, 1 beg to assure you, by of induce-
ment, that it is not my present intention to tres..

pass upon you again in this matter.
We must all, Sir, feel obliged by Mr. BAIN,,
BRIDGE'S kindness in acquainting us with thd
meaning of the words " garbled" and " incor-
rect,"—of which (as applicable to the corres-
pondence in question, at least) 1, fur one, wag
ready to have confessed my ignorance ; we now,
however, have the happiness to be inforMed, that
by the one is intended the withholding a part of
the Correspondence, and, by the other, not pub-

lishing the whdle ; and though some of your
Readers may perhaps consider this a difference
without a diSilllClioo, whilst others may deem it
a distinction without a difference, I shall, for
my part, leave the decision of that knotty point
to those who possessing greater ingenuity that'
Myself have the peculiar faculty of affixing a po-
sitive interpretation on what they admit to have
been " most ambiguously implied ."
Now, Sir, to discuss the merits of the case,
and if possible with gravity, Mr. BAINBLUDGB,
in the first instance, declared in your Paper that

the Correspondence published '' therein between
the High Steward of this Borough and myself"
was garbled and incorrect ; I, in my " modest"
Letter stated that it was not, and this cot:trast of
opinion is likely to continue, unless Mr. BAIN-.
BRIDGE has the genius to make it appear (as he
contends) that a letter from the Recorder to hilts
forms part of the Correspon&nce between the
High Steward and me ; then, indeed, the charge
must be admitted ; and by the same rule the
writer of the original statement (whoever he was)
must stand accused of having published an ac-
count equally " garbled and incorrect," inas-
much as be 0111iIIed to state either the written
Vote of Censure on my conduct, produced at the
Sessions by one of the Burgesses, or that pro,
posed as an amendment by another of them, one
of which Papers, by the bye, was never signed
by a single Member of the Corporation ; and to
the other, the signature of one of them, and one
only, was obtained. Simi), Mr. Editor, was the
" unanimity " you have heard so much of—una-
nimity, it roust be allowed, in the strictest literal
sense of the word—There are other observations
in Mr. BAINBRIDGE'S Letter to which I do not
think it necessary to reply; they carry with them
their self-refutation—uor would I again allude to
the former charge, but for the purpose of recom-
mending to him a re-perusal of the original state-
ment, in which he Will find .that the High Stew-
ard's Letter, communicated by the Recorder to
the Bailiff, is actually published, consequently I
apprehend it was NOT " suppressed."
In conclusion, I disclaim equally with Mr.
BAINIIIRIDGE any personal animosity. I only
regret that he should have so eagerly volunteered,
or been led to interpose, his offices on this occa-
sion, and cannot but think that lie would
.have
better served the cause he has so warmly espous-
ed, had he with less zeal, but more discretion,
permitted the afssir to pass silently into that;
oblivion, on the part of his Friends, " so devout-
ly to be wished."

1 remain, Mr. Editor,
Your much obliged

LA \V IN'l ELLIGENCE.

COURT OF CITAN(;ERY, Aug. 18.

THIS RIGHT REV. THE BISHOP OF ELY U. LORD

'KING.

The Loan CnANCEt.LoR took his seat this
thoroiog soon after nine o'clock. Ile stated that
he had looked into all the papers and affidavits in
this case, which came before him on the appli-
c aim) of the Riglit Reverend Prelve, for an ln-
iiinetion, to restrain the Noble Defendant from
,recting a building immediately behind the epis-
copal mansion in Dover-street, the bill allegit,g
that the said mansion would be rendered vire
d,ok and uocomfortable, Un the other hand, the
ahs,eer dleged, that no such effects vectold be pro-
(hood by the proposed building, as there would
he a space of nineteen feet between tha two
places, which was two feet more than what was
thought necessary by a former decision of the
Court, in the time of Lord Hardwick. In sup-
port of the allegations on both sides, a number of
affidavits had been filed by the parties. Lie was
certainly of opinion, that the Bishop of Ely had
acted very properly in bringing this case before
the Court, he having only an interest in the man-
sion-house dining the lunette remained as Bishop
of the See of Ely, and was hound to preserve the
property in such a state as would not give his suc-
cessors any ground of complaint. The affidavits,
however, in support of the bill were not such as
to justify him in granting the injunction. The
building was not begun, but was merely about to
be erected, and of course it could not yet he con-
s:dered a nuisance of such a stature as would in-
duce the Court to inyerfere. The Court, in grant-
ing it,juncrinns, had no authority to act merely
because a nuisance was apprehended 5 but grounds
must be shewn that a nni,a,ice ha l alre.dy beeu
created, and then it %could interfere. In the pro-
gress of this building there might be such a great
inconvenience occasioued as t‘ould render an ap-
Viertii,w to the Court extremely peeper ; but if
ia_shoufd be thought necessary to do so, it must
he on !:ew affidavits. He wonki suggest to the
parties the propriety of their coming an anti-
aivangement on the subject, as this was the
most desir,ible thing they could do. While he
again repeated his couviction of the Bishop of
Ely having acted very eight in bringing this ap-
plic4tion forivard, he mast at the same time refuse
the injunction, no sufficient grounds being silewn
tor the inti'rteience of the Court.
Alotion refused.

LOI &hip then proceeded, at half past nine,
to !tear bankrupt petitions, Khich occupier) the
whole ,thy till two, whet; I►e was specially sum-
monetl• to attend a Cabinet Council.
