a quarter of an hour or twenty minutes after seven. I
shall show by the clearest evidence how I was engaged,
out only that portion, but during the whole day ; and
prove beyond a doubt that this charge against me is cot,
tuptly and wickedly false. At the beginning of August
my health was In such a state, that I not only wassoder
medical rare, but ate my meals separately from my fe-
mily, and was intending to go to the coast fur change of
Ric. On the 21, at half pa-t four o'clock, the horse was
put into a gig, and my father drove me tot the house of
Mr. Bose, my surgeon, in Park-place. That gentleman
being engaged, I was driven by my father to Stockdale's
the bookseller, in Piccadilly ; and rain coming on, re-•
noised there till past five. The weather then cleariog up,
I returned to Mr. Rose's ; and, after waiting about a
quarter of an lionr, had a long interview with him, and
be wrote a prescription for me. which is listed, and will
he produced. My father then drove me home to South
A udley-strest, where we arrived a little after six. I dined
dune ; and, at a quarter past seven, and not till then, I
iltain got into the gig, and my father drove we to Mr.
Hell's, the chemist, in Oxford-street, where I got the
proscription mad. up. I west into the shop for this
purpose, leaving my cloak in the gig, and 1 returned to
my father, who sat in the gig awaiting for one, and saw
me come from Mr. Bell's door. lie then drove me for
a sl,ort time in Hyde-park, and we returned home about
a quarter after right. These facts I purpose to prove,

vents in the house and by Mr. Row; and after that
proof shall have been sahniiued to you. I shall cheer-
