TO THE RIGHT HOkOURABLE THE LORD
CHANCELLOR.
" ma excellent to bare • giant's strewth,
But mammas to use it as a east.'
Mr Loan,—As the first lay Peer of the kingdom, as
the supreme legislatorial decider in the realm, and as
an Englishman, you are ildw addressed by an indi•
Ticket, who can boast not a wealth, of power, or of
authority, but who possesses alone an independeut
sotil, and a heart beating with indignation at observ-
ing the attempts to crush a high spirited and innocent
woman. You, my Lord, as one of the judges of your
Queen, as a man looked up to as acquainted with
every mode of legal procedure, are doubly responsible
for the actions of an assembly, guided chiefly by your
advice, may execute.
1 have watched with anxious eye, my Lord, every
motion made by you in this accusation. 1 hate
warily searched into each hidden weaning couched
beneath that artful and pious sophistry so apFa-
rent in every expression used by you in your ju-
dicial capacity. 1 have sought eagerly for the motive
that could induce you so palpably to support the
stronger party, and to oppose with aspe-
rity the weaker side, whose only strength
is innocence, whose only d: fenders are truth and purity.
I have questioned myself whether the Lord Chancellor'
of (treat Britain could sacrifice for love of place and
hope of pension his honour as a man and his integrity
Se a judge ; whether a man, advanced in years, who
:2
expert,
in due course of nature, ere long to stand
the tribmial of hie Creator, to answer for every
crime committed iu his cstbly dwelling place, would
impress on his soul so dark a tinge as that of injustice
for the sake of wealth. 1 think be would nut. For
injustice, my Lord, is to be condenircil in any and
every being, bat when the crime is committed for
the obtaining remuneration, it is of double guilt.
Yet, my Lord, ere you proceed too jar, retiect upon
the consequences ; you have refused au accused wo-
man of illustrious and heroic ancestry, of noble birth
and unspotted descent, the means of repelling the evi-
dence collected in the Wren Bag ; you have refused
her Petitions for the names of the witnesses to be
brought against her ; have refused to inform her even
of the places where these supposed licentious deeds
were committed. Thi re is no precedent ewe is no
precedent ! says your Lordship : there is no preee-'
di set e-ecl.ots that very impartial, honourable, ho-
nest, incorreptilk, tender-hearted, gallant Peer, Lord
Liverpool: while a certain Bishop, who,- not under-
standing the case himself, is determined none else
shall, interrupts her counsel by remarks, the " lower
orders" would hate horsewhipped any boy of 10 years
of age for being child enough to make use of; and
is tAle your Lordship's Justice" Can you, my Lord,
suppose the British nation ignorant, imbecile,
and unjust enough to believe a woman guilty
when the accuser does not allow her the means
of overthrowing the accusation. Do you for
one moment conceive, my Lord, a race of beings, like
the prom* enlightened inhabitants of England, will
believe their persecuted Queen culpable, while secret
committees, secret witnesses, and secret cesrmissiont,
are the swabs used to condemn her. If 1 bad com-
mitted ttp smolt on your Lordship, your domestics
would ho the lost persons 1 should wish to see in the
itorydratif.oo...doshies- .p +i' tuipairiaisy, for -they
would naturally be necessitated to support your will,
and fulfill your wishes. and would see Me ynesiion
only with your eyes. My Loki, the present proceed-
ings stand alone, and, for the sake of justice, of
honour, of every noble sentiment, may' they never be
imitated. 1 once more call upon your Lordship to
restrain by your authority the designs ut all wbu
would impel the country on to its destruction ; who
would MI with anarchy, confusion, and blood, their
native land; who would hail the death-scream of Li-
berty as the long desired note of merriment ; who,
would poison the royal ear with their calumnies,
urge on a noble, generous, and amiable luau to de-
struction; who would till/the country with miser*,
and the streets with starvation ; and who now would
willingly seal their crimes by destroying the character
of their royal mistress, and the peace and honourable
feelings of their lovereign. I bid you adieu, my
Lord, trusting you will, from a love of justice, put
a stop to this career of anarchy, ere it has destro:ed
all honour, integrity and peace. I, am, my LOrd,
your Lordship's fellow tabject, 1. D. N.
