, discovered that you had erred and that the Prisoner
was a maniac ;—one lapsas tnemoria might line
proved fatal to your Lordship's hitherto sc.
knowledged activity as a British Legate. But
would ask your Lordship, was it impossible
to have acquainted the ATTORNEY-GENtaiL
with BELLINGHAM'S case ?—Was it imps.
sible that you could instruct him to reply to the Pri.
soner's allegations ?—Such things have been, zed
might have been, done again. In this instance, no
doubt, your Lordship had substantial r,!asons for
withholding any answer to the Prisoner's appal,
4itl.t shall not attempt to dive into your Lordship's
bosom, already too much tortured by the recent Itbs
of 'to rirluOus and good a man as Mr. PEacevar..—
, It may perhaps be justly urged, that the Prisoner's
tale cannot •be credited. Very probably so—but I
would ask, had he time to collect his witnesses ?
Aud would it not have been a greater semblance •of
justice had the ATTORNEY.GENEEAL suffered this
wretched being to have produCed them, who would
assuredly have proved him perfectly mad, when the
subject of his Russian grievances was touched on?
Ply Lord, justice was too hasty. The culprit under
this partial insanity, might be perhaps untit to exist
with any degree of liberty, But I call on your
Lordship to say, Whether or not this trial savoured
more of Gallic oppression or of Lritish Trial by
Jury ?
On the explanation ishich your Losiliship, I doubt
not, will give, and which I entreat may not be de.
layed longer than is necessary, I shall feel myself, as
I believe many others will, at liberty to comment;
and should it prove that the affair can attach oo dis•
credit or negligence to your Lordship, I shall be the
first to apologise to you for harbouring one single
sentiment prejudicial to your honour.
In the meantime, my Lard, I consider it my duty,
as a Briton, to remind you that the Prisoner's wife
and family would, but for the generosity of the So.
ciety of Friends, of which she is one, have starred,
and been now deprived of their only means of sup.
port, without such charitable aid. The crime for
which BELLlmeruist suffered being rather of a per.
sonal than a political or public kind, as dregs your
Lordship, it therefore becomes your bounden duty
to contribute your mite to the maintenance of this
family.
I wish to hint to your Lordship, the propriety of
i reflecting on what must be the opinion of Mr. Pet.
I cEvAt.'s relatives with respect to the death of that
Gentleman--what the sensation of Isis wife, brothels,
1 fr.
and children, when they remember the answer It
' NacEvAL returned, that the Prisoner's case Itti
such a one as could not admit of remuneration from
the public purse—an answer completely accordant %oil
•
his public and ministerial opinions, which ongMated
in yoar Lordship's apparent neglect, if such prole
to be the case, and that the arm of the Assassin "i
in consequence raised, :sod slew the Minister?
This appeal is now preseuted to you, through the
medium of a respectable daily Journal, that ye n
f
may, by an early communication with that pcople".,
which you are the servant, clear up the gatherios t
storm attributed to your negligence, about to brut
in uoises more terrific than the thunders roar.
