AND Iff; • COUNTIE GENERAL ADVERTISER. VOL. LXVII. Printed and Published by John Price, Market- place, Leicester. FBI BAY, JULY 31, 1818. Circulated through the principal Towns and populous Villages in the Counties of Leicester, Rutland > I Lincoln, Nottingham, Derby, Stafford, Warwick, Northampton, Cambridge, and York, ' \ \ STAMP DUTY. .. .<</. f PRICE SEVEN PENCU- iSW PAPER & PRINT,, 3d* S EIGHT SHILLINGS per Quirter STATBMEJiT BY MR. PH1LLIPPS, » » AWSWI'. lt TO A PAPER, UNTITLED " X PLAIN STATEMENT OF FACTS," SIGNED BY Giferpe Anthony Legh Keck, Charles Godfrey Mundy, and William French Maior. AT the close of the late contest, many of my friends requested me to publish the state- ment which I made on the day of Election, in explanation of my conduct. 1 deferred the pub- lication for sometime, partly from want of lei- sure, and partly from the hope that try Oppon- ents would cease lo propagate the unfounded reports, which I had been compelled to notice in my defence. Butas these reports are stilt in- dustriously circulated through the county, I feel it necessary to publish the Statement, with some remarks in addition to those which I have at. ready made. On the 23rd of May, I wrote the letter men- tioned in " The Plain Statement of Facts," in answer to Mr. Keek's of the lyth. This letter, so far from making an unqualified and general promise of support, specifies the particular case, lo which the promise was confined. " I trust," these are the words of the letter,' " I trust you feel assured, that should any overweening patrician influence he exerted at airy time to impede ytmr re- turn tothe House of' Commons, and from no other quarter can opposition to yon originate, all the sup- port I could gire wmdil te at your service "— The oase'here alluded to must be obvious; and if that had occurred, I should lieve supported Mr. Keck to the utmost. Hut I had not considered, whether under any other oircuihStaoces that might possibly arise, I should have thought it right to have given him my support, nor was I Called upon to conie to any such determination, believing, as I did, that from no other quarter could opposition originate The expression, therefore, in this part'of the statement, intimat- ing that there had been a general promise of support is manifestly incorrect and unfounded: and could only have been intended to excite a prejudice, and infbse suspicions, on a subject, which, of all others, required the most candid statement mid the most scrupulous adherence' lo facts. When ( lie question at i sue concerns the Character of a Gentleman, and is no less than this, whether there is any ground for the charge of duplicity or want of plain dealing, What c « n be more unfair, than at the very opt n- ing of a statement to represent a promise as ge- nfcral and universal, which in its terms is limit- ed, and pointed'to one particular specified in- stance. Mr. Jwcck's letter of the 10th of Niny. to which mine of tlie " 23d was an answer, intimates that a friendship had subsisted between us, towhicli HS he too civilly, expresses it. he had been in- debted for my uniform and active support. A breach ot this supposed friendship is one ofthe charges brought agulnst uie. It is necessary therefore to state, in order that tbe Public may htfve titie trtennsof judging between us upon ibis point, that I have never upon any occasionbecli at Stougliton, nor have we been iu the habits of iiitercoutse; aud to the best of my recollection I have not met him at a private table fur the last ten yca> s, On one occasion. I believe about twelve years iigo, 1 solicited votes in my neigh- bouThoi'dTar Mr. Keck, in compliance with the defcire of my late Father, w lm was uuirble from illness to solicit theili in person; and at one Election, which took place eleven years ago, 1 represented my Father by his desire in nomi- nating Mr. Keck. From that timedowti'to the present, I believe I have never taken an active part in ahy Ele'olio.' i, in which Mr. Kefck has been concerned : I have never' promised bimmy support, aud diHering from him upoiisome poli- tical questions, I should not have thought it right to be his nominator. From the 23rd of May to tbe Sunday preced- ing the day of nomination, 1 h* d not heard the least rimiour of an intended opposition to Mr, KflCk, or of Canvassing in' any part of the County. On the Sunday morning, before the day ol' nomination, at 8 o'clock, three Geutic'mtiicall- ed upon hie; and announced themst'lVCs as a deputation of Freeholders, who luld'liitt at Lei- cester the preceding day. ThVy inl'ornitd me that they were authorized, if I would offer my- self as- n candidate for the county, lo promise me the support of ( he Freeholders of Leicester. I declined their offer; and refused to come for- ward as a Candidate, br to attend the day of nomination. They then pressed me to stay at hom&, and lo try the result of a canvass between that day aud tbe day of Election, of which can- vass they promised to bear theexpencc: 1 said that would 1* 61 suit me, aud declined their oiler without reservation. They informed ine. that they had called on Mr. IJabingtou. who bib) also declined, but not in such a manner as to pre- clude htui from availing himself of a nomination if he afterwards chose it. They further inform- ed mc, thut if the; were not successful » itli me, they were instructed to go on to Mr. Sutton, of Shardlow. I persisted iu my refusal; and they Ihetrlell me. In their return from Slinrdlow, tlreV culled upon me again at the Parsonage at Sheepfchcad, and informed me that Mr. Sutton readily acceded to their wishes. I understood that they. intended to ask Mr, Paget to nomi- nate him. I told tbem it was not my intention to be present at the nomination : nothing fur- ther passed, aud they went away. Oil Monday morning, at five o'clock, Mr. Cradock, of Loughborough, came to Garendon, aud sent up two letters; One from Mr. Keek, tlio other from Mr. Mundy; both dated from Stnughton. ( TJie* e letters are referred to in the " l'lain Statement," and copies of them' are annex• ml.) Mr. Keck in bis letter says," Should it be thought right to propose me at all, it really appears most desirable that you should be my sponsor:" and concludes his letter with these words, " I trust, ut all events, that we shall meet at the Bell by ten to- day :" Mr. Mundy in his letter, mentions the report of a deputation to Mr. Sslton, and also that General Mil can lay was cotniug forward as a candidate :— and he Cuncludps with pressing ink- to go to Leicester. 1 rece| ved these letters at live o'clock in the morning, when I was in bed, and sent down a verbal answer, that I should be at Leicester at tell o'clock. Such a pressing solicitation from these Gen- tlemen must appear rather extraordinary ; espe- cially when it is recollected, that, at ( casta nion ih before this time, Iliad positively refused • ihe oilice of nominating Mr- Keek. Indeed, Mr. Keck himself had long given up the hope of ob taining my consent to nominate hr. n, and men- tions in his letter of tbe 28th of May, in answer to mine ofthe 2oth, that he had in consequence applied to other Gentlemen to undertake the oilice ; and Plough they from different ciroum- l. tauces declined, he did not repeat his roquest 0 f my assistance. Was it then from some sus- picion of my being a competitor, thaUhey were s(. i urgent for my attendance at Leicester? If they had entertainedsueh a suspicion, their lan- gi'ige ought to have been very different:— the only application, which in such a case it would become them to make, was, not w hether I would com-, ent to nominate, but whether I intended to apjwse. Pressing me to go to Leicester and ap- pear among their party, ut tile same time that they believed me to have a design of being my- selt a candidate, would be a species of finesse and double dealing. The necessary inference, therefore, mast be, that they believed I would not come forward myself, down to the moment when they were pressing me to nominate Mr. Keck. Although I had before intended to stny at home, and had actually invited some friends to spend the day with me, yet on receiving 1' ietwo letters from Stoughton, I determined to go over to Leicester; partly iu compliance witli their pressing requests, and also for the purpose of informing Mr. Keck, what I conceived to be his situation, &• what ! had beard from the Gentle- men of the deputation. As I passed through Loughborough, a'boul eight o'clock in the morn- ing, I called on Air Paget, having understood that the deputation intended to apply to him to noniihate Mr. Sutton. Mr. Paget was not. tip, but soon afterwards joined uie. I asked hi'tn if he had been applied to for the purpose of nomi- nating Mr. Sutton. He said lie had not, but that his brother had informed him, be had been applied to. I told Mr. Paget of the deputation that. had come to me, and that 1 had declined the oticr. I informed him nlso, what 1 bad heard eotisorhitig the unpopularity of Air. Keck, t; nd the grounds on which he stood, and that 1 was going over K> Leicester for the purpose of making this communication to hiui: and I offer- ed hini a seat in my carriage, if he would like to accompany me. DuriuV the whole of my inter- view with Air. Paget, 1 liav' not the slightestin- te.. ft oil of altering my eletertsination ofiioteotll- itig forward as a candidate. i^ Udalthoiigb Mr. Paget, in our way to Leicester, more Unul o^ ce expressed a wish that I should lie put in nomi- nation, I never in the slightest manner acceded to il. At Leicester, we went to Mr. John Pares, with « bom we breakfasted. \\ lieu 1 arrived at Leicester, I found it was reported, that Mr. Bahinglou's friends had retained agents, and that be was coming lorwurd. There was no conference whatever between Mr. Pares, Mr. Paget, and myself, respecting my nomination ; nor was any thing said lo me upon this subject, during the whole time that I was at Mr. Ptues's, by either of these ' Gentlemen. Whilst we were al breflkfast w ith Air. Parcs's family, Mr. Maior ( who w as a stronger to me) and Mr. Mundy were announced, and shown into a private room, w here 1 afterwards joined '. hem. The substance of the conversation which passed between Air. 4nindy and myself at this interview, is correct- ly related in the '* Plain Statement." In the course of this conversation, 1 expressed my opi- nion, that Air. Keek should be informed of what Iliad heard respecting his situational the coun- ty, to w liich they agreed. They pressed me to go with theni to Mr. Lowdhani's, where Mr. keck was; and it was settled between us, as 1 had before proposed, that I should explain to Air, Keck, without any reservation, what 1 had beard. 1 went out of the room into the break- fast room, in order to get mj but, certainly not With the iehSt design ol having a conference with Air. Paget or Mr. Pares; nor had we any con- ference. Mr. Muudy and Mr. Maior immediate- ly followed me. Mr. Paget, I believe alsj Mr. Pares, Was in tbe room. 1 said, generally, that 1 had had a conversation with Air. ' lundy, and that on his solicitation, 1 was going to Mr. Lowdham's. Weweltt accordingly lo Mr. Lowd- ham's house. The " Plain Statement" relates correctly, as far as I recollect, the substance of « bat passed at Mr. Lowdhaiu's, aud at the Bell Illll. The" Plain Statement" mentions, that I re- mained at the meeting at tire Bell, withoutgiv- ing any cause to suppose, that 1 was myself to be a candidate; . and 1 positively aflirm, that 1 bad no such intention. As 1 before stated in my former observations, I felt convinced when I left the Bell Inn, that Mr. Keek Would stand against any opposition ; and 1 bad not the most distant thought of becoming a candidate, or of their being any intention to nominate me. If I am censured for attending amongst Mr. Keek's friends at Mr. Lowdhaiu's, and after- wards at tbe Bell Inn, I reply, that I attended unwillingly— in consequence of the pressing let- ters from nr. Keck and Air. Mniidy. aadin com- pliance with the personal solicitations of Air. Maior and Mr. Mundy— to which latter Geutle- menl bad, in answer to a question by Mr. Mun- dy, previously expressed my inclination not to sup- port Mr. Iieik against Mr. Bubington. At that time 1 had nottormed the slightest intention of becoiniug the opponent of Mr. Keck. There remains but little in the " Plain State- ment," upon which 1 feel it necessary to make any further remark. With respect to that part, in which I am represented as having said, that 1 was myself going to be put in nomination, I mentioned tiiis iu tbe Castle, not to express my intention of being nominated, ( which seems to be insinuated,) nor as a reason for my de clining to nominate Air. Keck, ( for I had uni- formly declined to do this, without assigning, or thinking myself called upon to assign, any rea- son whatever; and while 1 was at the Bell, I heard Mr. Burnaby propose himself to nominate J Air. Keek,) but I mentioned it as what I con- ceived likely to take place, judging from what I observed. 1 bad not applied to any person to nominate me, or to second my nomination: nor did ] give my consent to bet nominated. Mr. Grundy of the Oaks, who nominated me, was at too great a distance to allow of any inter- course between us, and I had not had any com- munication whatever with him lor above a twelvemonth preceding. I had made no ar- ragement either for the nomination, or the en- suing election : I had not engaged agents, nor solicited support: I hail not taken a single step of that kind; and so totally unprepared was every tiling oil my part, that, had it not been for the very strenuous exertions of, my friends, I should not have been able even to have com- menced a canvass. ; — It might be supposed from tbe " Plain State- ment," that my nomination succeeded Mr. Bab- ingtou's. with the same short interval of time, as that Gentleman's succeeded the nomination of Lord Hubert . Manners. The fact is, that af ter the nomination of Mj. Babington a conside- rable pause ensued; when Mr. Wm. Paget, turning towards ine, said, " Do let somebody nominate you— they v< iH not be contented." To which I replied," No, no, let it he— I am satisfied." Mr. Mundy, when applied to on the Hustings at the County Court, publicly declared he heard me use these expressions. They are however, i not noticed in the " PlainSiatemeiit," ail bough it has been since that time, industriously circu- lated through the County. Can any thing be more unfair than lliis omission ? In this pause some persons unknown to pie,, who were near Mr. Grundy, desired that Gentleman to rise and noiniuftte- me, which liedid ; and Mr. Wm. Pa- et as suddenly and- as unexpectedly seconded nomination. The flattering manner, in 1 the wbieh this nomination vas received by the me et- ing, left me no alternative but to stand to the call ofthe Freeholders, and I felt myself per- fectly free lo do so. In addition to what X have above declared as to my own motives and intentions,! beg leave to reoai to the recellection of the public what was distinctly and solemnly asserted by Mr, Grundy and Mr, Ppget, on the day of election. After I had enter - into a full explanation of my con- duct, these Gentlemen came forward, and pled- ged their word, that they had never made any previous arrangement for my nomiiittiou. The concurrent testimony of Gentlemen of such cha- racters, who are perfectly free from all motives of interest in the question now at issue, will be conclusive in the judgment of all honourable and impartial minds, that the report of a pre- concerted plan to put me in nomination,- or of a design on my part to be nominated, is entirely destitute of truth. Having made these remarks, I again put it to the good sense of the public whether my refusal to nominate Ai r. Keck hadnotexeittd amongst . that Gemlemnn's Mend's an unjust suspicion of my viiotive, aud w hether in point of intrigue, in poirii <> S unfriendly dealing nndtreacherouscom- municatirv's, I have not more to complain of than my opponents. c.

I write to you to inform you, that rumours are strongly afloat, that an attempt will be matte on the Comity at the meeting to- morrow. Intelligence is just arrivedfrom Leicester, that de- putations have been sent from a meeting, which is assembled at Leicester under the patronage of Doc- tor Parkinson ( an Apotkecarj) Physician) and some others of a low class, to S'uttan. of Shardlow, to persuade him . to stand for the County. Oeneral Macaulay, who is said to have jailed at Stafford, is also supposed to be coming to Stand fur this County. Certain it is that attorneys are retained, aud hones and messengers employed ut Leicester on behalf of some intended candidate. Keck is busy writing to his agents.

ADDITIONAL i Explanatory Statement. , ON the 13th of July, some remarks were published by Mr. Phillipps, jirot sse d- ly in answer to our " PLAIN S RA I KMENT OF FACTS" but which, as no fact therein, stated by us was'atteinpfed to be controvert- ed, we did not. feel ourselves justified in ob- truding a reply upon the Public. There has since appeared a paper, entitled, " A State- ment of Mr. Phillipj> t in answer to the above plain " Statement of Facts" which we are willing to hope will plead our excuse for publishing the follow iiig ADDITIONAL BX- I'LANATOIIY STATEMENT. We are charged with having, at the vdry opening qf bur'plain ^ tateuietit otM'acts, re- presented a promise as general - jinA vniver- sal, which in its terms v. as limited and point- ed to'one particular specified Instance. Our Statement was, that " Mr. Keck shewed Mr. C. Mundy some letters lie had received from his friends, promising their support; among others, one frpm Mr. Phill- ippa, of which a copy was subjoined.''-— We submit that in sucliStatemenfwe have m. i de no representation whatever of the nature or extent of Sir. Phillipps'spioim.- e of support. We subjoined the letter itself that the Pub- lic might be enabled to foKn their own opi- nion as to the degree gf assistance Mr, Keck and Ids friends had reason to expect from Mr. Phillipps. W ith regard to the intimation in Mr. Keek's letter to Mr. Phillipps, " of the l!) th of May, of " a frienciship to which he was already indebted for Mr. Phillipps' uniform and active support," we beg to state, that until the present paper of Mi'. Phillipps vraS published, Mr. Keck had not the slightest idea that he was indebted for such support more to the, desire uf Mr: Phillipps's late Father, than to his own friendly feelings and coincidence of political sentiments ; aud that fllr. Keck had no reason to attribute the circumstance of not meeting Mr. Phillipps at a private table for so great a_ length of time, as mentioiied by him in his. Statement, to any other cause than the long absence of Mr. Phillipps from tire County, and to his general habits of retirement. U nder impressions pf Mr. Phillipps frjend- sliip, Mr. Keck wrote the afioveTetter o, f the lDth . of May-— certainly the answer of the 23rd ofthat incfnth, already before the public, did not weaken those impressions. And tin- der such impressions w e submit whether it can be considered extraordinary that Mr, Keck should, wlieu an unexpected Opposi- tion had arisen, pressingly solicit the attend- ance of a Gentleman whom he had formerly reason to consider as a warm friend to him- self. and to the Cause in which his pei- sonal services were olleied; aud with whose ichango of private feeliugs or political sehtb meriti lie had never l^ ien made acquainted, nor of v. hicti he had the slightest knowledge or suspicion. '---,'•.. Jlad Mr. Keek entertained any idea of Mr, Phillipps being his competitor, Mr. Keck', s language, we agree, ought to have been, and undoubtedly would have, been very different; he certainly would not have press- ed hint to go to Leicester and appear amongst his party. Mr. Phillipps has dfcawn tlie necessary and true inferen'co, ' viz. . that we believed tie Would not come forward himself " dow n to the . moment when wf w « jre press- ing him to norcinate Mr, Keck;". Mr. Phillipi » states the reason of his- going over to Leicester," to'- have7 been for the. pur- pose of making a communication to Mr. Keck. The fact is, Mr. Keck and his friends' only heard by accident of Mr: Phjllipps's arrival aL Leicester, and the Plain State- ment will, show how such intcuded'coiuinii- nication was made, " "" Mr. Phillipps states that he went wut of the room into lite breakfast room at Mr. John Pares's. in order to get his h- ai, certainly not with the least design ot having a conference with Mr. Paget or Mr. Pares, and he « t} ds, " nor had we. any conference." - We beg leave to remind Mr. Phillipps th'itl'or aeon- siderable time, during which Mr. Mundy and Mr. Mai or v ere walking with Mr. J. Pares, iu his garden, waiting for'Mr. Phillipps; that Gentleman appeared to then) to. he in close conversation with Mr. Paget, at the window of the breakfast room. We are charged w ith having omitted in the Plain Statement the expressions of Mr, Phillipps- in answer to Mr. Paget s request to let somebod y nom iria te hi in, and to wliieh it is stated flint he replied " No, no, let it lie, I am satisfied;'' in regard to which we be' 1; to state, that the omission w as unintentional; and we. subii'if whether any inference drawn by the public from the Facts detailed in the Plain Statement, could have been altered or affected by the insertion of such expressions, followed by ' ho statement of the immediate conduct of Mr. Phiilipps in adopting fhf no- mination when made. And although Mr. Mundy admits that he heard expressions made use of by Mr. Phillipps to the purport stated by him, yet the impression on Mr. Mundy's mind is, that the words actually made use of by Mr. Phillipps were, " No, no, let it be— ids very well where it is." We have, in the above, endeavoured to confine, ourselves to Additional Explanatory Facts, which appear to us to he called for by Mr. Phillipps' second answer to our plain Stateim nt-— we have avoided any inference Or remark on tin; Facts, thinking them best left to the impartial decision of the Public.

The fiskeries. of a Ijnffdship do some times belong to'the ow ner of the manor, but they are not the necessary appendage to every manor ill which tliey are situate. Generally speaking, when there is no proof to the contrary, if a river runs between Ihe lands of tvVo . persons, half the water belongs to one of those per- soils, and halt to tilt other;- Here there is no proof " that Hie fish belong to Ihe Lady of the Manor, and the mote ungracious, is it to prosecute iii this way for an assault, provoked by discharging a man off hisown ground.: thaine on such proceeding.- A er- dict— QHLTV. - ' 1 COLLECTIONS For the benefit of the INFINWARV, paid to the Treasurer.

To the Editor ofthe Leicester Journal. TO THE LOW, Freeholders of the County of Leicester. GENTLEMEN, T have waited with much anxiety for tho np- Eearance of Mr. Phillipps's defence, against the eavy charge to which he stands obnoxious from his conduct to Mr. Keck; for I was willing- to hope, that be might challenge a verdict of not gnilby at your bands; but I am sorely disap- pointed, and feel myself obliged to confess, that lo bis attempt to exculpate himself he bus mis- erably failed 1 The " Plain Statement of Facts" stands un- contradicted, unanswered, u tire fir ted. The Re- marks are evasive, nugatory, unsatisfactory.—>• Let us, however, sutn'ap the pleading;., and look how the case stands. ' I'be inference intended to be drawn ( as Mr. P. himself states) from tTio Pltiin Statement of Facts, is— duplicity on bis pait towards Mr. K. ft is urged against him, with circumstnuees of violent suspicion, if not of moral certainty; that he has forfeited that friendship which In; had pledged; and that, at Ihe very time whefi , foe was holding out promises of succour to Mr. X. he was secretly forming a league with his ene- mies, and covertly abetting their machinations bf hostility, under an assumed mask ; which nt H favorable juncture he purposed to discard. When his theatre should be fell, and the cur- tain drawn, at sonic fixed signal, be was toqrit his retirement behind the scenes, and act iiis al- lotted part, reckless of iho contempt ofthe well- judging part of tbe andioeee, so be urigfct but secure the plaudits ofthe gallery! To prove this charge— the first appeal Is mads to the memorable letter of the 23rd of May, in which Mr. P. states bis regret that he could not accept tbe office" of nominating Mr. II.— But \ i by not accept riiis jllice .'—" Others"; foreooth " were more eligible ilian himself!"— Modest Sir! and do you expect it to be credited for a moment, that you, \ v, ho talk so boustingly of your ability to serve theCounty as its Represen- tative, really declined the office of nominating Mr. K. upon the score of yct: r inferiority lo otlters .'— lint why not assign your reason - at onccJ— This would have interfered with your plans of secifsy? If you had openly avowed your intention of offering yourself for the County, every mail would have respected your candour and your ingenuousness; however, he might Imve been surprised at your opposition to a friend, lor whom you had, on former occasions, actively canvassed, or however he might have condemn- ed your vacillating inconsistency of conduct.—• Interpreting- yoUr letter by your subsequent be- haviour, ( for a mail's actions are the surest transcripts of bis mind;) when you decline to serve your " dear'' friend, who does not see what you hat burn ed ill your breast! Who does not 3ee that you did not choose to uotniuate Mr. K. because you inwardly anticipated the day, when you should come forward as his opponent? But this memorable letter muvt not yet bo dismissed. It contains an explicit promise of all Mr. P's. support to Mr. K.—" should any over- weening patrician influence he exerted at any time to impede your return to the House uf Commons, and from HO other quarter can oppo- sition to you originate"—( mark these words,)— " all tbe support I could give, would be at your service."— How does Mr. P. justify his palpable violation of this sacred pledge He tells you it is a qualified promise!—. Qualified!— according to his own declaration, tie contemplates every possiblesource of opposition, and having discov- ered only one, he unequivocally binds himself to support Mr. k. against that one. It is not merely said, " ifany jmtrieian influence, 8eq & c I will support youbut his statement goes to meet every influence.— Let us try our understandings upon any similar case. I wish to gain a particu- lar point; my Patron, when applied lo, says, how happy be shall be to serve uic; that there is onhj line object to impede my wishes, and that be will exert his influence to remove that ob- ject. Unfortunately another impediment of tiie same nature, though from another quarter, arises, St my Patron refuses to assist me under the quib- bling pretence that his promise contemplated the first obstacle only ! Does such a man de- serve the nanie of a friend J But if that very " Pa- tron himself be the source of the second impe- diment, which he ptetetids lie did not contem- plate, and therefore refuses to resist, what lan- guage can be strong enough to paint the mon- strous deformity of his conduct ? Who is not in- dignant at such hypocritical shuffling-? What, then, shall we say to Air. P ? Is He, who rests his defence upon such a miserable pretence, worthy of the suffrages of Ihe County ot Leicester.' Can those, whom he has desert- ed, respect him ! Can those, w hom he has adopt- ed, trust hiin? But, to proceed with the facts of the case. Mr. P. is earnestly requested by^ the friends of Mr. K. to meet them at LciccsteroutheMonday.& nomi- nate Mr. K. Tbe verbal reply to these entreaties is, that" he would beat Leicester at 10 o'clock." •— To do what?— why, if be came there in com- pliance with those solicitations, unquestionably his answer implied that he intended to accede to their wishes.—" Meot me at such a place, and transact such a business."— I will be there," ( it is answered) " at such a time."— And what is to be concluded from that answer, but that the objoct of such an attendance will be the transact- ing of the specific business mentioned ! And so Mr. K. justly thought, ( it was intended he should thiuk) that when Mr. P. was asked to visit Lei- cester for a particular purpose, and did upon that solicitation promise to be at the place ap- pointed, the object of his journey would be that, which himself had entreated as a favor. Well ; arrived at Leicester, two of Mr. K's friends find Mr. P. who had eotne tlutller in compliance with theseintreaties, « here? waitin at the Hell w ith friendly anxiety to communicate to Mr. K " what he had heard respecting his si- tuation in the county"! nothing like it 1 do they receive any message from hiin, explaining his intention, or announcing his arrival ! nothing like it! but they by mere accident learn bis ar- rival at all, and by mere accident they discover Mr. P to have gone to the house of Mr' Pares, who certainly w as supposed not to be much at- taehed to the interests of his " Dear Keeh.'' And here again we have a good deal of Ihat jealous and mysterious nnd secret management, uf which we have too much reason to complain I Mr. Maior and Mr. Mnndy wait upon Mr. P, and nre told that he has a Gentleman with him. Who that Gentleman w as, there seemed to be a wish to conceal. If he came there upon an hon- orable errand, why conceal liiui? If there had b » i; n nothing wrong in tnis dark conference, why such studied precaution ?. But by accident would Mr. Paget have been noticed at all? Mr. Paget was the mysterious Geritlennui, whose name was so cautiously . suppressed! Mr. Paget is the person who seconds the nomination of Mr. P; who came with - Mr. P iu his carriage from Loughborough, w'i » i « ene of the cha'spiqns of the new siJug Scateruitjjr. Why then ore they here closet- ed together ? and why is he kept from the obser- vationof Uie friends of Mr. Kech. l! ut what at length did Mr. Phfllipps say to tho two Gsntlemen who waited upon him? " He stated to them, that some persons had invited him to stand for Uie Ceunty, but that be had po- sitively a'eelitim." He then, refuses to nominate - Mr. K, and declares Uiat he should rather sup- port Mr. Babiegtats. Mr. Mundy then said that the county, in case Mr. K retired, would proba- bly look to him Mr. P. Mr. P then consented to go to Mr. K, and when Mr. M again alluded to this propriety of Mr. P's . being returned, he re- ceives this answer.; " my politics are tod liberal for the generality of the lauded interest of this county." What! and does he mean lo force him- self upon us as oui Representative, and at the same time to insult us ? What! does he dare to brand tbe lauded interest with illiberalitj .' The member for the county ! Whom does he repre- sfctit, if not ihe great lexly of the landed Proprie- tors, ns well as the tradesmen in tbe several Hundreds. What! and is he - so strong as to venture thus to taunt us? He may restassured that ere long we shall elect a Representative, who has none of the substance ofliberalfty, and less of ils cant!! ! Still, however, in consequence of his letter, Mr. P. remains unsuspected ; even after this unguarded expression Mr. Keek's friends rank him amongst their number. He goes to Mr. Lowdhaui's, he visits the meeting at lhe Bell, and though the significant uod of his head car- ried with it a volume, his conduct was not yet fully understood. At last tbe performance commences; Mr. P. quits the Hell, antl inhere. Gentlemen, does he go? Again he returns to ilr. Paget. If he had no intention of suffering binisell to be nominat- ed, why does he go to the very man, w ho was the most likely to solicit him to stand a con- test ? To pretend that Mr. P. attended nt the Bell ttntcilluigh/, is to talk something vv orse than non- sense I What! if a man commit an offence, is it permitted him to plead, that he did it unwil- lingly, in compliance with the request of his friends ! O lie, fie !!! This is " Vox populi" with n vengeance! !! I do not presume positively to assert what passed between Mr. Phillipps and Air. Paget in their carriage, or at their close conference in the Newark*, but I can well guess at the sub- ject of tneir conversation, and therefore when Mr. P. says, lie hail not " the most distant thought of there being any intention to nomi- nate him," 1 can with difficulty credit bis asser- tion. Mr. Phillipps had not seen or had any com- muicatiou with Mr. Grundy for above a twelve- month preceding the day of nomination ! W hat then? who charged him with having so done !— What ii'this be so ? does it follow that. he had no communication w itU the Party ? And though he never applied to any person to nominate him, or to second his nomination, and though he ne- ver gave his consenl to such nomination, had he Hot been led to expect that he would be put in nomination, and did he peremptorily withheld his consent ? As lo lliepritty trick played off between Mr. Phillipps and A r. Paget,(" now do let somebody nominate you. 5. C.") how earnest and yet how gentle all this political billing and cooing !— it is too silly to deserve a comment. " The llattering manner in which Mr. P. was received by the meeting, left him lio alternative but to stand to the call of the Freeholders."— W bat is this but following a multitude to do evil t " He feels himself perfectly free to oppose his friend, to whom he bad pledged the promise of his support," merely because Mr. Grundy and > lr. Paget, with their worthy Putti/ ans, •• flat- ter" him with their choice 1 O lame and impo- tent excuse! 11 Come then, let " the good sense of the Pub- lic" judge whether after such conduct, Mr. P, be a man, to whom the Freeholders of Leices- tershire should give their votes! Trace him through his mysterious system of wily contriv- ance, and ask yourselves, Jilectors, whether you can trust hiin ! ! Well, then, ifhe has yielded to the call of a mob, and consented to become an instrument of evil in their bunds, regardless of liis fair fame ; "• ain popularity and to serve himself, he has thus viclnrrtr iiij^ SKNi if " won the altar of ambition he has immolated ali that is open and ingenuous, and candid between man hi d man ; if the " Plain Statement" of damning facts be still unanswered; ask yourselves again, whether with such a Representative jour repu- tation be safe, or your interests be secure?— For jou may test assured of this as an undenia- ble tiutli, that he, who can upon any pretence betray the sanctity of private friendship, is not worthy to be trusted with the hallowed deposit of your public rights. 1 am. With much respect. Your True Blue Friend, PUB LICUS. July 20th, 1838. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OI< CHANCERY, Friday, July 24. SLACK AND HULL, V. THE MARQUIS OF HAST- NGS AND OTHERS. tftiu w hat he applied for; and Mr. Evans, espe- cially in bis character of solicitor, as well as trustee, ought, in bis ( Mr. Hart's) opinion to wish bis accounts to be inspected. He conclud- ed, by praying his Lordship to order the money to be paid as prayed for. Mr. Willis argued in support of the same opinions. Mr. Wetherall, for the defendants, contend3il the present motion was not only in direct oppo- sition to the general practice of the Court, but against common justice. It had been necess- ary to obtain two Acts of Parliament, the one for Ihe exchange of the family estate of the Countess of Loudon, which was to be sold, and tho other for tbe sale of an estate which had no- tbinglo do with the exchanging; the first only being exchanged in order to sell the one belong- ing to the Countess of Loudon, received in re- turn for tbe purpose of liquidating the debts of Uie Noble A'urquis, great expense had been in- curred in obtaining those Acts of Parliament., the expenceof which, as w ell as the other charges Sir Samuel Romiiiy had very properly for his own client abstaining from'entering into. The defendant, he contended, was called on by the plaintiff to pay into Court every shilling he had in his hands, without any chance of receiving any of his costs, unless be coii-. mer. ced a suit in the M asters' Office. The sum of £" 8,500, he felt confident, would not he held by the Court as I unjustly kept hnck4> y the defendant, when the vast expeticea he had been at tvere taken into consideration. Mr. Evans had sworn that a much larger sum was due to him than he had retained in bis- hands ; and in answer to the ob- servations respecting a Solicitor being also a Trustee, he must give it as his opinion, that no private gentleman would have undertaken it. The Lord Chancellor- asked Mr. Wctherall if he had any objectioss to the particulars of the charges of Mr. Evans being banded over to the Plaintiff's, and in tbe mean time to let the pre- sent motion stand over for ten days ? Mr. Wctherall said he had not. The Lord Chancellor said it was not uncom- mon that a professional man should bo appoint- ed a Trustee. The appointment of Arbitrators was a necessary precaution, although the Court woufd, in cases of necessity, interfere where a person held the situations w here Mr. Evansattf. His Lordship did not think it. right to press too hard on persons holding such a trust; for it was a matter of astonishment lo his Lordship how u- uy person could be found to take upon himself such a task. Mr. F.' vaut—" My Lord, I was actually forced to take it on me. I am £ 10,000 o-. t of pocket by it." The Lord Chancellor had no doubt thatwas the fact, Slid directed Mr. Evans to furnish the ac- count in ten days. Mr. Krans said, that would be impossible, as he had not received notice till after he had left town. The lord Chancellor—" Then do it in a fort- night, if you can, or as soon as possible." 5, J Munt and T Adams, Leadeuhall street, hat makers IN THE COUNTRY.

In consequence of the representation which has been made to the Commander- in- Chief, of the mortality which occurred early this year amongst tbe Sheep, and the consequent scarcity oi" Mutton, his Royal Highness has been pleas- ed to authorise the Conunissary- in- Chief, in m*<: iiig hia contracts for the supply of meat to the troops, to eiiga;; « the Contractor to deliver nintlon in proportion of one- third only to the beef delivered. Tbe contract w ill therefore be made, until further orders, for one- third of mut- ton, and two- thirds of beef, which you will please to notify to the regiment under your command, and you will be guided by this information in receiving'meat from Ihe Contractor. It is reasonable to suppose, that this arrange- ment will enable the Conimissary- in- Chief to make his contracts tin more advantageous terms, the benefit of which, when the price of the meat does not exceed sixpence per pound, will, of course, revert to the soldier. I have tbe honor to be, Sir, Your obedient humble Servant, ( Signed) R. OAKLING, Dep. Adj. Gen. Tm the OJJ- ccr Commanding tlie MARKET HERALD. Mark- Lane, Monday, Jv/ y' 27, 1819. Since this day week we have received a very large supply both of \ N heat and Oats ; 30,( Hi0 quaiters OfWheat. and 75,<; tl0 quarters ofOatR; the sales of Oats was very dull. at last Monday's prices, and Wheat has declined from 4s to 5s per quarter.— Bailey is iu demand.— Malt is steady.— Pease and Beans sold tolerably freely tit our last quoted prices.— In other kinds of Grain there is no alteration. Sir Samuel Romilly, on the part of the Credi- tors. having yesterday moved, that a sutu of £ 8,300 should be forthwith paid into Court by Mr. Evans, one of the defendants. who had been appointed the trustee nnd solicitor to the estate of the Marquis of Hastings, which was ordered to stand over. Mr, Hart this day proceeded to argue on the same side. He fell confident his Lordship would, under all Uie circumstances of the case, order the money to be paid into Court without prejudice to the trustees. The Noble Marquis, in the year 1813, was indebted to the amount of £ 204. OoO; for which he gave bonds, and ap- pointed the defendants. Messrs. Evans and Clarage, his trustees, for the purpose of receiv- ing the rents and profits of his estates, with- which they were to liquidate the claims against him. They, tbe two defendants, he contended, w ere not solely the trustees to tbe Marquis of- Hastings, for they held the trust for the benefit ofthe creditors also, who since the execution of the trust deed had only received one per cent, on the amount of their debts. Tbe defendant Clarage certainly had nothing to account for ; but the defendant Evans, who held ihe proceeds arising from the estates, had—( Here the learn- ed Counsel went over the various sums receiv ed by Mr. Evans, as also the sums charged by hini for Jaw expences.)— He did not wish to say the accounts were inaccurate ; but lie must contend that Mr. Evans had no right to retain his law expenccs. He ought to account for every farth- ing ; and if he had any charge agaiust the es- tates, he ought to apply to the Court, when a reference to Ihe Master would lie directed: and he w ould, if they were found to he eorrect, oh BANKRUPTS FROM SATURDAY'S GAZETTE.

Asa brief outline, be begs to state, that with only 8,000 ' Pickets, there are two Prizes of 130,000, anil 14 other- Capitals, besides Two of £ 2,000, 2,000 So- vereigns in Gold, with Port, Claret, or Madeira, iu addition to all the Prizes.
