• Mr. Harmer, Solicitor to Mr. Withers, addressed, ou Saturday,
the following Note to the Magistrates of Marlborough-street office:
" 87, Hattomgardeo, Sept. ZO, 1826.
" Mr. Harmer having observed in the Times, of this morning. a
report of du: communication or statement mad.? by Mr. Withers
yesterday to the Magistrates, respecting the liberation of Lieut.
Colonel Archdall, from which statement it might be inferred, that
Mr. Hunter had permitted the defendant to be discharged on his
own recognizance, and that Mr. Withers bad been kept in ignorance
of the defendant's application, Mr. Harmer-feels it necessary to ac-
quaint the Magistrates, that the defendant Paving obtained a cer-
tiorari, on an (spark application, took out a summons for the
prosecutor to shew cause why_the Judge should not take such bail
as be thought St for the appearance of the defendant in the Court of
King's Bench at the next Term; and another summons was pro-
cured to inspect and take copies of the original letters written by
the defendant to the prosecutor. Mr. Withers was told of these
proceedings, and that they would he duly attended to. Accordingly,
on the return of these summonses, the Lord Chief Justice was re-
spectfully urged not to reduce the recognizance below the amount
fixed by the committing Magistrate. But on the defendant pro-
ducing an affidavit that be was usable to procure bail beyond two
in 150/. each, the Learned Judge was pleased to order that be should
be discharged, on two respectable persons entering into recogni-
Lances to that amount, and himself in 5004 This bail was given,
and the defendant, as a matter of course, was liberated. As to the
summons respecting the letters, the Judge declined making any order.
" Mr. Harmer trusts that the shove statement will satisfactorily
shew that in his hands the eager of his clients and the interests of
justice have not been neglected, cad that the defendant was nut
liberated, as reported, merely on his own recognizance."
The judicial proceedings having been removed to the Court of
King's Bench, will occasion an expense that Mr. Withers is un-
prepared for, unless supported, as he says he is promised, by the
Subscribers to the Guardian Institution.
