Mr. PLOWDEN answered, that he was not ptepUed to twit
the actual refusal, though he Presunv_d that the applic.tian, with-
out Ml Lordship's order, would be ineffectt6l. He was fit",
hot ever, to say, that he had yesterday advised the Solititor, py
becht referred to him bb Mr. Richard!, on the I.: 3;oted I
plication.to the Court, to apply to the Committee for theszi,irc,,,
and he conceived it not unlikely, that the absence of the Anon...*
'front Court, at that time, was to be accounted for from his beitif
actually there on that very pursuit ; if, however, It shobld hipper
that before the rising of the Court, the application sltuultA have
been made and refused, Mr. Plowden hoped his I.ordShip woe*
olio* hirn to rene.v his alsplicatitin. Mr. Plowden then &d.
that notwithstanding his Lordship had, on Saturdat- last, titres-
lectso ntarked a repi obatioh of the misrepresentations o this 'flitter
in the public prints, he had been surprised at reading, yesterd:a.,:
several of them, an article concerning Mr. I.udlani, to tte
effect, and some parts of which he knew to be false *. He
served, that from the nature of the article, it was sal-cVident
it had been Kanto the papers by digit who had the custode
; and bad access to, Mr. Ludlam ; and it was equally evident,:
it WAS published with a view to create dr further a bias akainst ,
I unfortunate Gentleman, either to prevent or to give a ttr:u to t
traverse.
; The CHAncat.toa remarked, that he had no means of Preen•
ting this mischief of misrepresentation in the public papers ;--•
that both he and the Learned Counsel had reaiamis tt, comp'.
it. But his Lordship feared that a great part of the evil
Within the profession.
Mr. PLow DE then read the instruction which letd been
ded to him by the Attorney, and which was an applicaticit:
Lordship, for an order for Mr. Ludlam's Surgeon's and, his Solidi-
! for to be admitted to see him, Without the intervention of ant
person, and that aB the papers should be delivered to the Solisitcfr.
However, as his Lordship bad so explicitly expressed his cont.-
! dente, that the papers would not be refused When applied far, iso
had no doubt but that What had that day passed in Court; wtut4
' have the effect of an order. He should rest sa.isfied, bee
leave toreturn his thanks for his Lordthip's feelings on the wet-
, slim, both on behalf of his client and himself.
I The CHANCELLOR. thanked Mr. Plowden for pbtting the Mks
ter so candidly ; and said he did him but justice in trienzloaing.hh
feelings on this occasion, for he had very strong feeling: ind:r4
and so strong, that he rather fat as if they had carried him btt
yond what was strictly regular. • •
