An intimate friend OfSir Charles DIXIE,

Derlain with the sole responsibility for
Sir Charles action in not going into the

II was Mr.. Chamberlain's vehement in

strained Sir Charles from appearing as

discretion OF which Sir Charles has been
guilty happened in early life and con-
sisted in an intrigue with a married

his friend writes, is a most sensitive man,
