plained of a libel out his character, which, at a!i times,
and under any circumstances, would be mast gai!ing to
the spirit of a gentleman. The subject of tut
libel was connected with that nultappy period of Hz.
Lineal history when the country lust a most illaistCous
Princess. After the unhappy event to whi• la be a'euird,
it was the universal wish of a loyal public that some-

approbation. The vast mcsimadation of the head et •
posed naturally suggested the propriety of adept*
some mode by which it should be duly adriaideled for
the intended pnrpose: lie therefor propose that cer-
tain respectable individuals should form theirsels

and placing the amount in the hands of a balker, in
order that it might he applied to its "Ilea Among the
persons who canoe forward for the purpose of inanaeir:
the pecuniary 'tart of the plan, was Sir Beaty Terre:e.
a gentleman at the highest honour and character, whose
close connexion and intineacy with the Doke of lark
rendered him above all suspicion. The hausearatee pt r•

the subscriptions were placed in his heads; so tl st ne
possible suspicion could arise as to the due admieletre-

called to support the plaintiff's case,
Ale. ADOLPHUS interposed an behalf of the defend le'.
and proposed to save the time of the Court, by adatittio.:
all that had been stated by his Learned Friend to it

and admitting that they contained matter not lambs:
in truth, he was instructed by Air. Clement to make the
most ample apology to thr plaintiff, and also to the
other gentlemen named, whose characters be was <r-

verity, he offered to give the plaintiff a verdict for
tile defendant paying the costs of the cause as beam
