many regpectable, =orthy, and highly-nieri-
tarivas Individuals mid, amongst whom,
we believe there to be many, very many
such. IVe lament to feel that their recent
conduct has thrown theta back to some dis-
tance from the object of their hopes, but we
recommend those who possess influence amongst
them—to use their strenuous exertions to prevent
the future appearance of a single individual of that
persuasion at the Thea tre until the dispute is termi-
nated. The people of England may perhaps then
generously impute their past conduct to error, and
overlook its impropriety. But if they unwisely
persist, it may be anticipated, sad net unreason-
ably, that destruction awaits them. •

Sta-1 hare no hesitation in asserting, that the
speech attributed to me, in a Paper called The
Globe, is a gross and wilful falsehood. To the
inventor of that speech (Mr. Lass, an kid:
Barrister), 1 say
‘• Si sit advocatug it se hare esi it, outriugla gentita‘.."
The representation of what I really did sty,
stated in THE STATribUN, is 1111 correct, as IL.
my opinion, it was pouible by meaury to give it.
With what view the'speech lu The Globe was in-
vented, lam at a loss to conjecture. The la.
baured nonsense, and pompous absurdity of that
Paper, are almo‘ta.s well known, as its aportaey to
the cause of lihorty.. Such a publication is of,
every account below contempt ; nor should I
youblornyself to notice it, but that 1 owe it to
myself, ant! to the feelings of my father, to whom
my oppusitiup at the Theatre was unknown, t(4
state that the Recount given in The Globe is laic.

' Sta—The report of proceedings against me at
Bow-street, which appeared ill the Newspaper% of
Friday last. has induced mo to send you this let-
ter, which I request the favour of you to pnbledi
is your widely-circulated Paper, as it will serve
to place the affair in its true light, and afford the
Public the means to judge what treatment may be
experienced by those. yhoso conduct at the The.
atre may prove obnoxious to. the Proprietors:—
I was admitted, with a friend; to the Theatre on
Wednesday evening last ; the Box-keeper let us
into the dress-boxes. Here, I, in common with
many ethers iu different parts of the House,
expressed my disapprobation, but carefully aeoid-
ed every act which I considered possible to
be construed into a breach of the peace.—
During the after-piece, five or six fellows seised
me iu the must savage manner, and, though I
made not the least resistance, dragged me with the
greatest violence to Bow-street. After the evidence
given,which in most respects is false, the Meese
trate told me I mast find hail ; I answered his
there was nu one on the spot I could ask to ball
me, though a gentleman was present who 1 be.
Hewed might know me; this gentleman happened to
be in the Office by accident, hearing the cumin..
tic and told the Magistrate be knew the to be a
respectable person, and he had no objection to be
any bail. The Magistrate said tic must have ball
from two persons in 2601. cash. This gentleman
then offered to give bail himself in 5001. fur my ap.
pearatitt at the quarter.session., as he had no
doubt I had been dragged from my friends. The
Magistrate refused the.. I then inquired of him
how long he would allow me to procure another
gentleman to complete the bail I The Magistrate,
with the greatest indifference, replied, "'As soon
as I finish any businces here 1 shall go away; you
must get your bail before I leave the Office, or go
to prisou." The Gentleman before-mentioned (of
whose respuniibility fur the money the Magistrate
could be satisfecturily informed from one of his
own Officers), to prevent-my going to prism, of.
feral to be bail in 1000 r. for my appearance at the
Office in the morning with bail from some of my
friends. This was refused, perhaps frum the de.
sire of the Magistrate to do strict impartial Peltier..
was then ordered away, and taken to the Brown
Bear public-huuse, in Bow-street, put into a room
crowded with thief-takers; here, soon after, an or-
der was brought from Mr. Graham for my commit.
ment to Tolhill7fields Bridereell; I Wall asked
whether I would aide or walk; on my saying I ,
would willingly walk, I was told that my hands must
then be tied ; l therefore went in a coach. On my
arrival at the Prison, I was told I might have a
bed for a shiilieg, which I preferred giving to lay.
ing on a bare floor, which I must otherwise hare
done : I was then conducted, in company with
two others, to a room with iron bars to the win-
dow ; here I was locked up till about eight next
morning ; when I came down into the yard the
jailor informed me I mast pay five shillings fur
the indulgence of sitting in a room, or else
be confined in a place among vagrants, with-
out fire, table, chair, or any moiveisience ; hap-
pily my means allowed me to choose the best ;
had 1 been without money, I know not what
I might have sudercd in the prison ; but thanks 1/2t,,,
to my friends, t was nut doomed to linger :•1.,
longer here ; they C.ltrio, and accompanied me on
•
Thursday morning to Bow-street, where we wait-
Hb.
eel for the arrival of the Magistrate ; as soon as 1,..)
came I was admitted to bail, being the first that
was released from confinement. Whilst at the
Office, on Wednesday evening, a gentleman wish.
ing to see me, in case I should want to send to my
friends, was refused admittance, and told to go
away about his business. Here I conclude this
statement, which I have no doubt will be gcncral!v
allowed to loran " one of the most aggravated
cases that has yet occurred "
