THE REV. DAVID HEWITT. ON Monday, the 6th instant, a public dinner was given to the Rev. David Hewitt by the Welsh residents of this town, when a handsome silver cup aftd cover, valfte £ 50, was presented to that gentleman,atteran"at and appropriate address by IVilliam Williams, Esq., who presided on the occasion. The cup bore the following inscriptions in the Welsh language Presented Rynat.ives.O.tliePriiicip;,tlity reisdentin Liverpool to the Rev. David Hewitt, A.B., President oftheCam- bro Literary Society, as a testimony of their admiration of his speedy ac.. quirementof the Ancient British Language. And as a token of their gratitude for his kind at- txntioh t<Whe Welsh Congregation at St. John's Church, June 6th, 1825. The Rev. David Hewitt, A.B., was graduated an Ovate, and Druid by the name of Ednyfed leithydd, according to the rites of the Ancient Bri- tons, 12st December, 1824. After the presentation, Mr. Richards, (loccyn ddu ap Ithel,) being called upon by the Chairman addressed the meeting to the following effect: Gennmen.-After the eloquent address of our worthy Chairman, any observations of mine may appear to you perfectly unnecessary yet, inasmuch as he has called upon me to deliver my sentiments as a bard on this very interesting oc- casion, I cannot remain altogether silent. Isliall not. however, trespass upon yotii- pzttioneefoi-niinr considerable length of time, as our President has, in fact, anticipated the few trifling remarks which I proposed to offer to your consideration. Let me, then, briefly address you, our learned and re- verend guest, as the sole origin of this respectable -e..0 assemblage. From the smiling and encouraging countenances which surround you, you may judge, Sir, of the high estimation in which you are held by the Welsh residents in Liverpool. We are met together this evening to testify our admira- tion of one who, despising the prejudices of the Ignorant, has made an unprecedented progress in the ancient British language our respect for one who, born an Englishman, has been associated with our nation by adoption; our delight in one who cherishes the customs and antiquities of our native country, and our gratitude to one who has never regarded his personal convenience when he had an opportunity of serving even the humblest of our countrymen in his ministerial capacity. Lest, however, you might mistrust the sincerity of our professions, we resolved to give you a substantial proof of our esteem in the trifling gift which our Chairman has presented to you this evening. I need not inform you, Sir, that the attachment of a Welshman to his native language is proverbial; and I do not think myself guilty of presumption when I assert, that our latest pos- terity mast always cherish it with enthusiasm, as it is a language from which many others are deri- ved a language which still retains its primitive purity to a wonderful degree a language which glories in its own unchangeabless, and which, this very day, from the craggy summits of Snow- don and Plinlimmon, looks down with contempt oil the changes and corruptions which have taken place in other tongues. Our delight, therefore, in having gained an additional proselyte to the good old cause is not to be wondered at and it behoves us, as lovers and professors of a language which even the most inveterate sceptic must admit to be that of the aborigines of Britain, to foster and encourage all who foster and encourge it. In conclusion, allow me to say a few words respect- ing the inscription on the cover of your cup. Your sacred office entitled you to he elected Druid, whilst your knowledge of natural- philosophy qualities you for the degree of Orate, the em- blems of which orders you now wear the one (*),si,,riiifyiiig I)itrity an(i I)c(tee, the olll,,r (+) -,in emblem of the verdant dresses of nature. Believe me, Sir, you have no cause to blush at having the name of Ednyfed IeiUiydd enrolled amongst those of our venerable Druids, whose knowledge as philosophers, astronomers, and physiologists was far-famed in days of yore; whose constant care in the barbaric ages was to exalt virtue, to cherish peace, and to cultivate morality. Inasmuch as you have been graduated Y'n_Zwyt-ieb vr Haul ac yn llygad y Goleuni yn ol braint a defawd Beirdd ynys Prydain;' inasmuch as you ha ve t'n- listed under the banners of the Ancient Britons, it is one of your principal duties to continue to support and encourage the cultivation of Welsh literature; and let this be your future motto: Y gwir yn erbyn y byd»' The following was Mr. Hewitt's reply to this address: Mr. President, Mr. Vice-president, and Gen- tieme.ii,-When I commenced the study of the an- cient British language, I had no further object in view than to increase my store of useful informa- tion. If there be any truth in the old Welsh adage, Icai-iting cons tit fjeittilit.il, .vtiat other inducement could be necessary I Indeed, gentle- men, the flattering proofs of regard which I have received at your hands this day were altogether unexpected on my part, and. fear, in a great degree unmerited. Has not your partiality Con- siderably over-rated my humble talents ? I am thoroughly convinced, that any man posessed of moderate ability and common perseverance could scarcely fail to make considerable progress in a language which so strikingly displays its own ex- cellencies, and which only requires a very short acquaintance with its many valuable propertiesto I obtain universal admiration. Gentlemen, I shall always number the present moments among the happiest of my existence, and .shall never forget the respect and esteem which I have invariably experienced from the descendants of the ancient Britons. I trust, likewise, that I may nwver prove deficient in gratitude for this elegant token of your approbation: highly, however, as I shall alwavs value it, t am more particularly indebted to you for these orders of Ovate and Druid. wish which the bards in Liverpool have thought pro- per to invest me. I must ever revere, I will en- deavour never to disgrace them but, cheered and dea vour never to disgrace thelll; hI! t. cheered and encouraged by your fostering support, continue to cultivate your venerable and expressive lan- guage, until I have qualified myself to he a fit resi- dence for the Cambrian muse, and be deemed worthy, at some fnture period, to be admitted to the highest degree of bardic honour. In reply to the observation of Mr. Richards, respecting my atterition to the Welsh congregation at St. John's (,hurch, I merely did what every other clergyman would have done, under similar cir- cumstances. And if f have really bePII even of the least service to my Welsh friends, I am more than repaid, not merely by your approval of my conduct, but likewise by the gratification of my own feelings. Toyoutlipn, gentlemen, my most grateful acknowledgments are due. for the patience with which you haveconstanily listened to mv imperfect attempts, as well as for the kind- ness with which you have overlooked my ddiei- ences in the language, giving me credit for the sincerity of my intentions. Believe me gentlemen, next 1o the land of my .nativity. I shall always feel the liveliest interest in the prosperity of the principality and. more particularly wishing the welfare of the Welsh inhabitants of Liverpool, I. I I drink their healths from litis cup, which l shall always regard as an emblem of Cambrian liber- aljiV, and as a testimony of your esteem." I White. (?) Greet). The whole proceedings of the meeting were conducted in the Welsh language, and in the conre of the evening an eloquent address to the Welsh Literary Society, frolll the Rev, Mr: Ri- chards, of oil the occasion of the meeting, was read by the Vice-president. —<s*»-

AN AFFECTING CASE. MA'tUROROUGH-OFFiCE.—About three o'clock on Friday morning, one of the watchmen, or park keepers of the Regent's Park, whose station is contiguous to the basin of the Canal, observed a lady and gentleman, of very elegant appearance, standing, evidently in earnest conversatiol1. Shortly after he first noticed them, ihey walked away, and soon were out of his observation.— On patrolling his station again the next hour, he observed the same female walking among the shrubberies, crying bitterly, and evidently undel- the weight of the acutest mental agony. The man listened to her asseverations, which were loud and frequent, and in which he thought he heard the name of a nobleman mentioned, & being apprehensive the lady contemplated self-destruc- tion; he was proceeding in a direction likely to lead him towards her, during which he lost sight of her for a minute or two, and on reaching the enclosure, he perceived her descend the bank to the basin, and in a harried and agitated manner, strip off seme of her dress, and in the act of rais- ing her arms towards the Heavens, she exclaim- ed, "Oh! God, have mercy I" and rushed to- wards the water. He jumped down, and seized her just in time to prevent the rash resolve. She screamed on his catching hold of her, and was so overcome, by her agitation and struggles, that she fainted. However, the park-keeper procured the assistance of another watchman, and very soon succeeded in restoring her senses. He as- sisted her towards the New-road, and, finding from the incoherency of her language, and the s evident distress of her mind, that she, if left alone, would again repeat the attempt ot self-de- struction, he conducted her with a great deal of difficulty, to the residence of Gibbs, one of the police officers, and left her in his care. 1 hat officer, on the opening of the business at, this office, conducted her thither, and the following, is a brief sketch of her affecting history — The Lady's name is Mary Anne D » f-11" she is a member of a highly respectable family. Some years since her father was distinguished for his mercantile knowledge and, as was custom- ary with his family, entertainments were given, to which honourable, distinguished, and noble persons, appeared as guests. Her great personal attractions excited much admiration ILII(I, Ull- fortunately, her too ardent imagination led her too easily to twlieve tile alluring promises of an ac- complished and noble seducer, to whom she fell a victim. His promises she soon found were mere professions, and he abandoned her. She e u re-turned to her family; and by a strange, but too often seen, reverse of circumslallees, her father's fortunes, owing to commercial failures, were, dashed to the earth, and she became so destitute, as for a period to pursue a round of gaiety, from the proceeds of which she supported an elegant establishment, anil soon ol) ai iett such eelebrltv, that her fashionable sphere was extended to the first circles and the young lady, in her own per- son, might, it would appear, be a:i elegant and j refined representation of the heroine of a late no- torious publication. However, this did not Iat long. She, too, expeiiencetl reverse; and, from j an abhorrence of the courses of the. lower orders. of the unfortunate females of the town, site pre- ferred adopting the dreadful alternative of s-l!- destruction, and concealed herself the whole of the night in the Par\, with a view of accomplish- ing that, ohjed, Tilt; person to v, horn she was speaking was a casual stranger, who coldly ad- vised her to return home, without the slightest offer of assistance and the scenes of happiness of her eariy life recurring to her imagination, she, in a moment of desperation, rushed into the water, calling on God for niercv, and bitterly im- his vengeance on her seducer. Oil being brought before the Magistrate, she appeared much depressed.and her very fine coun- tenance pourtrayed lines of the deepest dejection. She was elegantly dreAssd, and her manner and demeanour bespoke a person who had lived in good society. The Magistrate, having pointed out the ex treuie folly and guilt of suicide, directed her to be conducted to her home.

EXTRACT FROM 0'H\R\; NOVEL. The town of Boston is beautifully situated it is seated ori a peninsula, divided from Charleston by a river, and commanded on the eastern side by the strong eminence of Buker's Hill. On the night above mentioned the Americans had ta ken possession of those heights, and labounojr \yiih astonishing silence threw up before the morning- damned a'line of works extending half a mile across the summit of the ridge. Whan discover- ed, a heavy fire was opened on the w-rking parties, from the guns of the nun-of-war; by noon they completed their lines. To dislodge them from this strong position was now as difficult as it was necessary. and a body of troops were ordered on that service. Twenty flank companies, supported by the oth, £ Sth, 43d, and 02d regiments, a battalion of Marines, and a light brigade of artillery were formed at the foot of this formidable eminence. General Howe with the grenadiers, advanced against the lines, while General Pigot, with the Light. Inlantry, was directed to carry a redoubt which flanked the left of the enemy. The British troops advance up the hill with fearless intrepidity, but on ap- proaching the entrenchments thl Republican tire opened with such faral precision, that the best sol- diers in Knrope were checked, wavered, & broken. The execution of the rifle was terrible, and the artillery worked with rapidity, poured upon the gallant assailants a deadly torrent of grape and hot. GenerallIowe, whose approved iiravery was most conspicuous at the trying mo- ment, rushed into the hottest of Ihe fire. Officers and men fell in iieaps around him. Surrounded by the dying and the dead, he preserved his wonted composure, rallying the remains of the grenadiers who had led the attack, pointed with his sword to the breast work, and cheered them to a fresh essa v. O'Hara'scompany had twice advanced, and their leader, armed with the musket and bayonet of a fallen soldier, was seen conspicuously at their head. They had been a second time beaten back leaving half their number on the glacis" of the entrenchment. At this critical moment, when the day was all but lost, General Clinton arrived from Boston. Tiie British once more formed and again pressed forward 10 the trenches" a (i O'Hara and the grenadiers a third time headed the storming paty with all the desperate valour of his country. He entered the ditch, followed by his men, and British and American engaged band in hand. (ieliei-itl Warren, who commanded the American right, Iplo throughout this arduous conflict displayed the greatest bravery he rallied his raw soldiery, and, rushing to the front, endea- voured, sword in hand, to expel the intruders. Warren and O'Hara met the young American discharged a pitol at the Captain of grenadiers, while O'Hara, springing forward, plunged his bavonet into the breast of his gallant adversary. Dismayed by his fall, the Republicans gave way, and the entire of the right division were soon across the ditch. On the left the redoubt, which strengthened that part of the works*, had fallen General Pigot in the repeated attempts which lie had made to possess it, but seizing- Oll the diver- sion made in his favour by the success of the Bri- tish right, he by a and vi- gorous effort, in turning the flank of the American defences. The Royalists instantly occupied the hardly-contested hpights, and their brave oppo- nents, after an heroic resistance, retreated over the hill with all the steadiness of a veteran army. The feelings of O'Hara, as lie gazed oil the sur- rounding objects, were indescribable. The trenches, on the banks of which he stood, were filled with dea I and wounded Republicans peo- pie of similar manners, speaking the same langu- age, and closely related by descent, could not, in this scene of destruction, be regarded without a lively sympathy. Those of the Anwricans who had fallen at any distance were scarcely to be dis- covered from the earth in which they rested. No- thing on these self-taught, soldiers was intended to strike the eye. Their blue, and dark rifles were without ornament. All was plain, but was effective. Far different appeared the British grenadiers, arrayed in uniforms profusely decorat- ed, burdened with showy and useless accoutre- ments, with polished arms, belts, and breast plales; all too wpll calelllated 10 bestow a me- lancholy distinction on the wearer, and make him a more marked object for the rifleman. O'Hara sickened as he looked down the hill. It was, hdeed, It melancholy sight. Heaps of cop- ses lay as if regularlv strewn in front of the breast work. and indicated with what unflinching courage the British had advanced to the assault. The gay habiliments or tll(- fallen officers gave to the field ofdealh a gloomier contrast. Capsand feathers, muskets and drums, as they had dropped from the relaxing grasp of their possessors, were loosely scattered about, while, as if to crown the horror of the whole, the lig-ht which glanced upon the scene of slaughter was reddened by the flames of Charleston. :=.

HOUSE OF COMMONS, TUB DAY 7UNIS li, Mr. Demnan rose, pursuant to a notice which he had giveH to cali the attention of the house to the conduct of a magistrate of the county of Surrey. On a former evening, when he gave the notice, he had been misunderstood, and that misappre- hension had gone abroad, so that he was suppos- ed very generally to have preferred a petition to the house against the body of the Surrey magis- tracy. He had particularly stated, tin,ugh" he was unfortunate in not having been plainly heard, that his petition was against the conduct ofa ma- gistrate of Surrey, who was also a Judge in the the principality of Wales, and he then stated that the narneofthut gentleman was Kenrick. The complaint which he had to lay before the house related to two particular transactions. I I' the facts alleged should be substantiated to the sa- tisfactiollof the house, they would form a ground of a paramount necessity for the house, to address the Crown, praying that Mr. Kenrick may be divested of anv Judieiai situation which he now holds. Since the omce of judge had chang-eel its dependence from the will of the Crown to the term of good behaviour, no case of abuse so grievous as these allegations had been adduced bribrethefjousc. It might be said that there was a great unwillingness to bring chargl's of a personal nature against that class of men where no honour was to be gained by I lie accusation.— It would have been highly satisfactory to him if the subject had been taken up in some other quarter. It was of that weight and importance which demanded the support ofa person o¡ïljg!ltr station and authority than he could hope to have ill the mind of ihe house, and would liave come much better from any of his Majesty's ministers. The first part of the question which he had to propose was contained in the petition. The se- cond part referred to a great variety ofaflidavits, which were produced on Hilary Term last in tiie Court of King's Bench. From these two sources he drew the present, inference I hat Mr. Kenrick had acted with partiality, violence, and intempe- rance on behalf of a pariy for whom he chose to interest himself—that he had unjustly imprisoned an Individual who pursued him by an action, and a verdict against him. In the other case lie had with no less violence so conducted himself, that if that which he had admitted him- self. in his own affidavits should alone be taken against him. it would prove hiiii tilit-rtv unfit to hold his present office. He wish- ed, however, to take that course which best agreed with fairness and strict justice. He would therefore refrain from going into particulars at this time, and confine himself to a motion for bringing up the petition in order to printing copies of the affidavits before mentioned. The whole of the case would thus be put into the hands of members, who might increase theirinformation upon the facts by inquiries, after which the house might be called upon to declare in some form what steps it might deem neei ssary to be taken.— He moved that the petition be brought up. Mr. Dc.ni.ion said that. Mr. Kenrick was a near neighbour Of Ili, ill SLiricy-tliai he was a man of the most amiable an 1 proper deportment in his domestic circle: but it was well known that in public opinion no men differed much more than he and Mr. Kenrick. lIe was not the less anxious to do him justice, and he had to assure the house that in a conversation which he had but a few hours ago with him, that gentleman expressed his most earnest desire that the house might, by going into an examination, give him an opportunity of disproving the accusations. Mr. Peel said, that from the notice of the hon. and learned gent., the house, very likely, was to I be called upon to exercise its discretion in a grave and important manner- namely, to consider of measures to be taken for the removal of an officer of justice, whose situation was held as indepen- dently of the Crown as any of the judges of the land, and who could only be removed eventually by the agreement of both houses of Parliament. He admitted that the hon. and learned gent, had taken the more correct and moderate plan, by moving first for the printing- of the petition. N o'r would we have objected at all to the course of the hon, and learned g-ent., having no intention to obstruct the investigation, but that he thought that enough of notice had not been given on the point of producing the affidavits, which part of the motion was now mentioned for the first time. If from the press of business, no opportunity shoutd present itself for going into the proposed inves- tigation after printing and circulating the papers, would it not be a great injustice to allow Mr. Keniick to labour under the reproaches meant by them to be conveyed, for the space o'f six months before he could be heard in his own justification. He thought, at any rate, that the affidavits ought not to be prin ted. Mr. Demnan did not wish to press for the print- ing of the affidavits. There could be no difficulty in finding an opportunity, before the close of the session, for this investigation. On the other hand, it was impossible for the house not to see the gross impi opriety of allowing a gentleman implicated in so grievous a charge, to go into another part of the country to administer justice among his fellows as the representative of his Majesty. Sir n. WiiliamshoTe testimony to the honest and upright manner in which Mr. Kenrick was believed to discharge his jucjcial duties in Wales. The Attorney-General, hi order to temper the opinion into which the house might be led, took this opportunity of saying that the question in the Court of King's Bench had never been heard on the merits, but was thrown out on a point of form. One counsel only was heard for Mr; Ken- rick, but it appeared that he had written a state- ment of the case in a newspaper, and the Court held that it could not grant a criminal information to a Writer in a public; newspaper. lie himself was relieved from much difficulty by the desire of Mr. Kenrick that the house should proceed. Mr. Scarlet thought that the affidavits ought not to be printed they might be laid on the table. Mr. IVynn observed upon the hardship of pro- ceeding against a gentleman Upon the matter of sworn affidavits, when it might be urged against any thing which could he advanced for him in the unsworn examinations before the house, that equal credit could not be given to it because it was not upon oath. Mr. S. Hoiirne thought that there would Hot be time enough for going through the investigation before the close of the session. The motion ought to have been made a month sooner. J. If. Sifittit-i- thought in impossible that the house or the government should be willing to al- low this gentleman to resume the exercise of his high judicial functions, until he was cleared from this charge brought against him. He wished while he was up to correct a mistake of his hon. and learned friend near him, who had represented the facts of the trial in which Mr. Kenrick was defendant, as if the prosecutor had compromised with Mr. Kenrick. Tiie offer of compromise, as f he understood the case from very good authority, was first made from Mr. Kenrick. The Attorney-General said, that the verdict was taken against Mr. Kenrick for the oI, damages and costs as between solicitor and client. The parties themselves did not compromise, and he could not. now aver with safety from which of the counsel the offer first came. Mr. Peel wished that thehon. and learned gent. had cast his motion into a more tangible form. Mr. Denm/in denied that it was any part of his duty to bring a charge against the gentleman whose conduct was to be called in question.— His part would be complete investigation. He now repeated it, that thoseaffidavits (not produced in defence, for Mr. Kenrick was the plaintiff) which turned his case out of court, of themselves proved a case which made him out as utterty unfit for the situation of a judge, Mr. IVynn advised the house to he cautious, and to proceed by the safest precedents. The proper form for the motion, he rather thought, would be a charge against the individual. That was the course taken in the cases of Baron Page accused of bribery, and of Lord Ellenborough when charged with mal-practice by Lord Coch- rane. Both charges failed, but the form of pro- ceeding was perfectly tegular, and applicable to all other eases of this nature. If the affidavits were produced, it would be impossible for hon. gentlemen to divest their minds of this impression that, the charges against Mr. Kenrick would be upon oath, while his reply or defence would of necessity rest only upon his simple asseveration. Sir M. IV. Ridley thought it would be the greatest kindness to theindividuai to proceed with all possible dispatch to the investigation of this case. That gentleman felt, that he could not, con- sistently with his own notions of the duties which he had had the honour of being appointed to dis- charge, continue to execute the important func- tions ofa magistrate until lie had had the op- portunity of clearing himself from these serious charges (hear). Mr. Canning recollected to have heard something of the imputed misconduct of this gentleman but. he could safely declare that he had not read one word about the subject np to the present moment. From what be had been able, however, to collect he thought that the course proposed by the lion. n II learned gentleman was, in principle, perfect- iv fair and after what had just been stated, by tiie hon. baronet, would be only just to the in- dividual himself. As he (Mr Canning) under- stood him, that hon. and learned gentleman pro- posed to lay upon the table, however, not the substantive charge coupled with the documents referred to but the sworn documents tlwmselves to which, with all the good-will which in such a case was impossible that the party should ha-ve allY opportunity of opposing testimony of equal authoiity this house having no forms by which it was enabled to administer oaths to witnesses. If therefore, this course were to be pursued, the house would effect this inequality between the two'parlies that would before it—namely that the charge would be on oath. and the answer would not be (hear). he C.) from heiive infer that no charge should be braught before them against Mr. Kenrick? No such thing.— But he contended that the charge should come on as on the solemn assertion of the party prefer- ring it, so as to make the negation of- the party a»ainst whom such charge was preferred ofequa'l authority, as t,) form, with the affirmant of the petitioner. On thee grounds, but without.at all meaning to say that such a duty was necessa- rily imposed on the hon member for Nottingham he thought that hon. and learned gent. should put the charge in some shape or other, in which it would be fairly and equally met. Again, the affidavit matter, so that the individca lmight not known which of them, or which parts of them, it would be necessaiy for him to answer, and which nM, But if the hon, and learned gent, would be n'ood enough to put the charge in some such form as seemed to have been appointed in the case of Judge Page, the natural consequence would be that this case would then be considered as soon as possible by the house. By the mode at pre- sent proposed, HI the motion of the hon. and learned gent., there would be this glaring injus- tice effected that the person who was ac- eaused would be put, as to testimony, in a deci- dedly worse condition than the accuser—that he wouid he disabled from defending himself with as oood effect as the party preferring the charga would be abie to prefer it (hear). The petition was then read. It was from Robert toke Newino Catifo", of Stoke Newington (a butcher), prayino- that the house would institute an inquiry into the truth of the statements contained in his petition and adopt measures iu relation thereto as it might think fit.. On the question, "that it do lie upon the able." Mr. Denman took the opportunity of noticing the singular stuation in which any man mus" stand in that house, who brought forward matters of this kind. He should rather have thought that had he introduced his question in the total absence of any affidavits to support it, it would have been objected to him, that there was no. thing in the case he had brought under their no- tice (hear)-that it was matter he had picked up on mere hearsay, God knows where-that it was altogether averment merely, and not upon oath." But it now seemed, that the objection urged in this case was, that the charge was too soleinti & that the disclaimer on the otherside could not be equally so (hear). Now, really, jn thilt case of the Chief Baron of Ireland, which was brought forward by the hon. member for Limerick, and which had been advened to by the right hon. | gentleman opposite (Mr. Wynn), he could not recollect that any dimculy of this kind wasstart- ed. There the only objection, if any, that was made was. that the statement was unfortunately but too true. The fact was, that in that case commissi otters \vas appointed to inquire into the business there was no substantive charge; !)it the house proceeded upon a certain utiinber of facts on which those commissioners had reported. Now, how was the objection in this case advanced on the other side of the house to he met'! A far as he could be supposed to know any thing of the facts imputed as against this individual, he (Mr. Denmanl charged him with gross misconduct.. But then it was said that he should not do that, except he brought in the affidavits upon which the judgment had taken place. Why, he again as- serted, and for about tiie tenth time, those affida- vits did not fcontain the charge that was now meant to be pi,eferi-ed.I'hey would only show the mode in which Mr. Kenrick managed to get rid of that question by bringing his charge of libel against the Morning Chronicle. I I t- (Mr. Denman) now proposed, therefore, to have laid upon the table the affidavits mada by Mr. Kenrick himself, and by him brought forward in support of his application for a cno- minal information against the editor of the ing Chronicle, together with a copy of that letter of which he had been proved to be the author, addressed to the Stamjord News, and which had prevented him from having his rule made abso- lute. Mr. Canning observed, that in the case of tlt,- Chief Baron, the party was accused before his accusers Were examined by the house and there- fore his asseverations and theirs were of eqtiftj weight. Mr. Baring really thought that the objection,* taken to the motion of his hon. and learned friend were such as might almost induce people to sup- pose though he was perfectly sure such was not ill fact, the case, that ministers had some desire to screen the individual cornpiained of from the effect of the inquiries proper to be instituted by that house (hear). He thought that grrat re- sponsibility attached to some quarter or other for not having already brought a case of this im- portance-after all that happened in it the house, and leaving it to his hon. and learhed friend to call upon Parliament to institute the proposed investigation. it was impossible to believe that the King's Attorney General could have made such a speech as he had delivered OH this subject in the court of justice, if he had not the strongest moral conviction on his mind that the charges which he had brought against, Mr. Ketit-ick in the course of it- The Attorney-General here observed, that that was delivered by him in his capaicty of an advo. cate only. Mr. Baring stil thought that the hon. and learned gent. would not have made such a speech without feeling that there were strong grounds for it, and consequently for a solemn investigation into the matter.
