/ THE BRXSTOXiXAXf. MEMOIRS and CORRESPONDENCE of . JAMES ACL AND, Proprietor and Editor— written by Himself. " I LIKE HONESTY IN ALL PLACES." — Judge Bavley. Printed and Published by JAMES ACT, AND ( SOLE PROPRIETOR A » » EDITOR) at No. 4, All Saints' street, Bristol. VOL. II — No. XI.] SATURDAY, NOVEMBKR " 21, 1829. [ Price I Id. iiTiifr i¥ Ti'• da — t. Ki TT TO THE EDITOR of the BUISTOLIAN. Sir, In common candour, I think it right 1 should inform \ ou, that I wrote the follow- ing Letter with the intention of inserting it in the Bristol Mirror, and for that purpose sent it the Editor; from whom I find* that the lateness of the hour at which it was transmitted, precludes its public appearance in his paper of to- vimrou. The delav on my part, was occasioned by my absence from Bristol the ear! y part of i'ne week. Aa I am anxious for its early public appearance, I shall be obliged if vou feel disposed, and will give it insertion in. your to- morrow's Brisiolian; if you cannot either from want of time, or room, or inclination, have the goodness to return it to Your faithful and obedient Servant, C. H. WALKER. Broad- street, 20th Nov. 1829. To the. Editor of the BRISTOL MIRROR. SIR, On the perusal of the numbers of a recently published periodical in this city, which has within a fortnight assumed two different titles, I perceive, that a systematic plan has been devised and acted upon to deteriorate bv an fwuuiimnijs nuthur. my character in the estimation of ihe public Had the writer, or rather his p> cmpter or possibly ;) py- mrater, coniined himself to the term he , has prosti- tuted for his signature, that is to say, •' Truth;'' I should have passed his lucubrations in si- lence, but, as gratuitous slander, ingrafted upon malignant falsehood, arc the weappns of his choice, 1 feel anxious to expose, in Older to repel and refute the assassin- like attack. The outline of the case is this; Mr. Acland has published some stinging accusations against Mr. John Winter, of this city, and P." • Winter, for reasons best known to him- self, has taken it into his head that I have made certain communications to Mr Acland to his prejudice ; hence the / icseand brute- like attack upon my honor and character by a man of the name of Frederick Jones. Whe- ther I have or not. merited this attack, I am quite ready to leave to the judgment of my Fellow Citizens, after they shall have read the exposure, which it is my intention to lay before them, of as vile and unprincipled a string uf gi^ niitous falsehoods as ever, per haps, were penned The publication itself, is, as to its compo- sition, beneath contempt; it evidently ema nates from an individual of an illiterate but vindictive mind ; a man of low and vulgar habits, who, figuratively speaking, can nei- ther. spell, nor write, nor read ; and equally ignorant of the rules of grammar and of com- position, as he evidently is of the language and the feelings and the manners of a gentle- man—. such is my antagonist, or I should rather have said are my antagonists, who have commenced their hostilities without a • why or a wherefore, upon which they can offer an apology in palliation of their atrocious proceedings. In the first copy of this disgusting number and which bears the initials " I. W." I am designated sans ceremonies " The foul- handed Attorney, who makes him ( Acland) Ms tool." and because Mr. Acland thought proper in his Mqmoirs, to address the Grand Jury of this city upon certain topics, upon which he chose to dilate, the public are told that Mr. Acland was urged on by " that lump of: deformity, the mean and chagrined Attorney." There is certainly nothing more easy than to call names ; but it strikes me, that the epi- thet " foul- banded" without a tender of proof in its support, is much more like ' the language of a blackguard than a logician. As to the Writer's accusations, these are just as easily made, as calling names, and I meet them with my flat denial, that Mr. Acland is ot ever has bitn MY TOOL, in any respect whatever. I also as unqualifiedly deny lhat he was urged on by me to address the Grand Jury, and I affirm, that I more- over knew no more of that address than niv accuser, till I saw it in print, and that I have not, and that ' I never had, any more influence or control over the conduct or wtinngsof tttr.- Rttan- d; those of John Winter But it seems I am " deformed, mean, ar. d chagrined;" all this is of course to be taken for gninted and to be bflieved, because forsooth, Mr. Winter, or Mr Winter's tool, chooses to Say so. In the next number of the publication, to which I now advert, 1 am again attacked with still more savage acrimony, g 1 R the ' first place, I afn accused at' least by insinuation, with defending the conduct of Mr. Acland, as depicted in this taost scurri- lous production. J. answer, that I belietelhe picture to be false, and that I know the accu- sation to be so. I never defended, nor have I ever had occasion to defend his conduct : my opinion of Mr. Acland is, that he is quite competent to defend himself. I pass over the first two columns of this effusion of scurrility aJ perfect rant, limvor- thy of comment or observation, excepting that part where the unprincipled calumniatdr or calumniators assert, " that 1 possess every thing but a courageous - heart," • and'therefore '< that I feared to attack my^ ellow- G'itizeiis.'' I have not attacked my Fellow- Citizens, neither have I had any cause to attack them, and if I had had cause, I refer to my past conduct as a refutation of the caliimny. But Mr. Winter! allow mfe to ask vou how com* 4- 2 THE BRISTOL AN tituted signet of " Truth," keeping his own name out of sight ? Is this cou RAGtons think you ? '• If," says this infamous scribler, " I should declare my leadiness to publish all accounts brought to me respecting your public and private conduct, would it not bring on a second apoplei tic Jit." Plow many Cooke's and Sommer's should we find among your clients." I answer these interrogatories by saying that if it were possible 1 could look upon ihe interrogator as an honest man, or as a man capable of speaking the truth, 1 would tell him to proceed; but, he must excuse me for assuring him, that I have no mote relish for the man who " bears false witness against his neighbour," than I have for the sfilletto or assissin's knife. Thank God hitharto 1 have not been afflicted with Apoplexy— such afflictions and ( hose of deformity of the bpdy, . may be sub- jects for the jest and jeer of the deformed mind and depraved heart of the individual who so jocosely speaks of thetn— the public- will appreciate his worth. In respect to the " Cookes and Somefs" that might he . found amongst mv elients were this . slandererito pursue the course he has suggested < I shall, most likely make his heart ache,. when I tell him that Henry Wheeler- King, formeilv my clei- k, . and late my partner, whose differenc& s with me, as we are still on arbitration it- would, be inde- corous here to enter upon, in answer to a question put to. him atmy special request ad- mitted, upon his oath " that he is not aware that Mr. Walker in my instance during the time he was his clerk ( upwards of ten yeers) conducted himself towards his client in the management of their property, concerns, or business, otherwise than as an honest and ho- norable man." What think you of that, vile calumniator ? ] t seems that Mr. John Winter was my client, tvient^ vears. ago, but seeing my con- duct4to ptherg ne left me— gratuitous asser- tion again ! No proof! Now I call upon Johi} Winter to state openly and in. the face of our fellow citizens what conduct is, here re- ferred to, and whom by name are the others, to whom this paragraph refers— if he do not, then I put down John Winter as the very .. , I restrain myself;, I address the public— not John Winter, But because of John. Winter's having so done " you abuse him through your friend Acland" "- from you," continues the libeller,," he ( Acland) re- - ceived the information respecting the elephant's oothf and the black.. colouring which he. has j- t to pas* that the writer Amanuensis, orgiven it." Oral nitons again ! Why. this fellow whatever you may please to call him, deems is surely currying favonr with Mr. Acland! it nw. st courageous on his parr, if not upon hete his wold, ihe word of an anonymous tabri- your's, to make this charge, under the pros- caior and propagator of falsehood is again to be — • - • • • • 1 taken as proof. Hear, however, my answer. 1 i denu having abused John Winter through - Mr. Acland, or thiough any body else. 1 never j made any communication to Mr. Acland re- j spectinu the elephant's tooth ; of coulee I could \ not give it a block colouring- Moreovei, I never heard of the elephant's tooth, till 1 read the ac- count in " Winter's Piotector," for I did not even see it in Acland's Bristolian. After " Protector" ( a pretty wretch to call himself Protector !) has sriven his own,- qr his master's account of this tooth affair, he proceeds " you know this statement can be proved by the books of the custom- house, and nour Own books, where you charged him for such information." What information does he mean ? Would any one believe, that a man could be found, 1 will not say paid to put such accusa- tions in print, unless at least there were some panicles of truth in them! there are none i the boldness of the a- sertion, that I had transacted ibe business for John Winter, here alluded to, ied me almos: to doubt my own conviction to the contrary ; I therefore directed Mr. Sherraid and Mr. IJilany, two of my clerks, to go care- fully . ihrwigh my ledger, my bills and pasting- books, including all ihe time I did business for John Winter, and the year of Mr. Wilcox's may- oialty, when it is alleged this business, occurred ; they have done so, and they are both ready to make oath, that no entry or memorandum what- ever can- they discover in relation to the business ailuded to. 1 therefore, and from my own convic- viction, . feel myself justified in affirming, that I never ( vas„ professionally or otherwise, concerned tor John Winter in the matter here spoken of, and that it is another of the impudent and groundless falsehoods, amongst the number I have already detected and exposed, to assert that my books will bear evidence of, the fact. Having thus far exposed and laid bare to pub- lic view, the base and unprincipled, and I had almost said, the unprecedented falsehoods which have been resorted to, with the diabolical intent of causelessly injnring my character in the esti- mation of the public, having, as I consider clearly and untq jivocally proved the Editor and his coadjutors to be " Liars and Slanderers," I leave ihem, ( resarvingto myself the right, should 1 see it expedient, on public grounds, of briuging tiem legally to justice) to their own reflection, if teflection lhey have, and to the contempt and scorn of thebonest & the just— I cannot however conclude, without offering to Mr. John Winter a word of advice. If, sir, it be possible that you feel yourself degraded and disgraced by Mr. Ac- land's expositions, would it not be more becom- ing of you to repel his charges, if it be in your power, thaiMo countenance an unprincipled and an anonymous slanderer, utterly regardless of the filsahoods he resoristo, so that he can make an attempt to injure the character of an indivi- dual who has not by word or deed done you wrong, or offered you the slightest offence. I trusif for. your own honour's sake, you will do so, and send the reptile on his travels. That you have countenanced and do countenance him, I know beyond all questiori ; and here allow me to tell you, you will do well to bear in mind, that a conspiracy may be committed in attempting to de- troy character,, as well as to obtain property by flagitious and illegal means. 1 shall conclude this Letter with a few obs< r- ! vations in > iefer « rice to Mr. Acland and his pub- lications. I- do not myself think it necessary, 1 but I enter upon it merely to satisfy the impor- luniiy of a few of my friends. ' Mr. Acland has, I understand, in his public • speeches, ( for 1 ba^ e never attended one of them) spoken much in my praise ; much more 1 am j afraid than I deserve, and certainly much more ! than I could have wished, and more, I am quite ' sure, than he would have said, had . hat inflti- - ence existed which has been imputed. A great I deal of what has been written in the Brislolian has been attributed to mv pen. I have heard several persons say they could disccrn ( and par- liculaily in ihe Letters addressed to Mr. Gooke) my style and language; now the fact is, and I avow it, daring contradiction fiom any quarter, that 1 never wrote nor dictated a sentence or line in any one oj these letters. It was, how- ever, my anxious wish, from the time 1 first lead the documents which Mr. Clissold some yeais since left in my possession, that the facts they disclosed, should meet the public eye. I had lent a portion of them to a friend, and he fui- nished Mr. Acland with them : he did so, from the best of motives; motives, which, when I cease to applaud, may my heart cease to vibrate; upou the merits of thavcase, 1 think all honest and just men cau form but one opinion. There were, however, two articles in which I lent Acland a hand, the one, when he was una- ble to defend himself against a ruthless and un- manly attack upon him ; and the other, advis- ing him professionally to insert nothing upon anonymous authority, nor without being conclu- sively convinced of the truth and justice of his correspondent's communicaiions. That article, in consequence ot this advice, was inserted in the 28th number of the Bristolian, published on the 29th of July last. By the adoption of I hat regulation, I take some credit, perhaps with- out being entitled to it, for having been the in- direct means of saving many from unmerited censure: With these exceptions, and also ex- cept two letters in my own name, which have appeared in the Bristolian on matters which I considered personally concerned myself, I affirm, that I never have, directly or indirectly, writ- ten, or had any knowledge of,, or been privy to the writing, of any article that has hitherto ap THE BRISTOLIAN. 43 peared in the Rristolian ; nor have I, expect as aforesaid, had the slights- st inffherice, to the best of my knowledge, recollection, and belief, over AIR. Acland, in respect to any article which he has ever set forth to the world. C. H. WALKER, MEM,— Mr. IValker has a right to claim front me the insertion of this Utter, but I regret that'/ re has thought such course necessary. For tnu port, 1 wait the death of the abortions he speaks of and with camplacent pitu anticipate the ilutv of writing their epitaphs. ./. A, To the EDI TOR of the BRISTOLIAN. SIR, We, the friends and stewards of the society of Primaiive Methodists, ( bet er known by ihe name of" Ranters " ) feel it our duty to defend Mr. Piercy from the laie aspersion, published in your IjrUtoiian of Saturday last, by a person named Henry Freeman, who was removed from the society for misconduct. Sir, you asserted in your publication that Mr. 1' iercy was charged with " pocKeting the funds arising from the congregatiiHi" which we absolutely deny; as we, the said stewards, have received and expend- ed all nn- t'iies collecitd in the said chapel.

SIR, Roger Moore is stuck fast in a tub of tal- low. with his hands tied behind, and he is continually exclaiming " the Shareholders are coming ; oh ! dear, what shall I do? they wilt melt the tallow, and dip me till I be- comes short six!" A SHAREHOLDER. MIU.— I pity his case, it is very distressing for a man worth three hundred pounds a- year. J. A. To the EDI TOR of THE BRISTOLlAi*. SI R, In accordance with the information you have already received concerning the death of Master Mercury Manchee, is the following account ot his funeral, which may not be uninteresting to yoti'- and your friends :— At about 9 o'clock this morning, there was an unusual concourse of spectators assembled round the dwelling house of the deceased, on the Qyay< — at about half past 9 o'Clock Mr. Undertaker \ V s arrived ; and about the same' time two chariots drove up- to thfe door, the one selling down Dr. Solander Slop and Mr. Marten Man- gle, M. R. C. S. the medical attendants— the! other the Rev. T. T. B h and the Kev. T. C. - C n. At 10 o'Clock the procession moved] from the house in'the following order The honest undertaker, Mr. W s, habited in deep black, and apparently much affected. Six news- boys, playing the " Dead March in Saul " on- their horns, hung with crape. A black banner, inscribed " Memento Mori. " ' Ihe officiating clergymen, the Kev. T. T. B hFand the Rev. T. C. C n, with satin scarfs and hat bands ( deeply affected). The coffin on a bier borne by six printer's devils. The pall supported by Messrs. M s ' r, G hand M n in scaifs and hat. bands, ( and, by the bye, I would hint, to Messrs. G h and M s that it is not strictly in accordance with decency to be laugh- ing at a funeral.) On ihe coffin a pen and ink, and the skeleton of a newspaper, Afler ihe coffin, " Diceji " the fav > rite hobby horse of the deceased, led by two boys in deep mourning. ' The unhappy father ( sobbing bitterly) Mes- rs. C k, S s, W r, and H s, as mourneis, weeping, and wailing, and gnashing ot teeih, cunning lsanc( according to Jewish right) at intervals strewmg ashes on his garments. The whole of the mourners looked exceeding- ly decent, and wept bitterly. Mr. R e, Messrs. B r and ihe gentlemen of the press, bearing a banner, wiih the inscription " The liberty of the press is the paladium of all birth- rights " The boys of a cheap Yorkshire semi- nary, two and two, four of them beating a cushion, on which was the birch hung with crape — all of them with pop- guns reversed, l'hes.- closed ihe procession, which moved on with solemn step, to the church- yard of St. James whete an impressive discourse was- deli- vered by the Rev. T. TI B h During the whole of the sermon John W— r evidently displayed symptoms of a maddened grief, and at length,- screaming with agony, he leaped into the grave, and exclaimed with a so- lemn and saddened Voice " come, pile your earth upon the quick and dead." This, as may be expected, greaiiy distresstd the mourners, who were all neatly as mad as he. He was however rescued from his perilous situation by his humane atiornies, Messrs. W y and H r, who Said he was too mad to die, and observed that he ought to be WELL BI. ED first. ' The quiet solemnity was again broken in upon by the ap- pearance of Mr. Deputy Sextoness I) y who demanded the burial fees, on pain of disintering the corpse. The mourners searched their pock- ets, but even rich Isaac, with his <£ 60,000 was pennyless ; and D y was about to put his threat into execution, when a humane by- stander ( as*- he observed) rather than again spread pesti- lence and contagion amongstthecitizeris. tcndered a sovereign, and peace was restored. The boys from the seminary now fired ihree vollies of pop. guns over his grave— the horns all the while playing in a solemn and impressive manner, ihej- ihe Committee a general statement of the funds " Dead March in Saul." The youthful must- and effects belonging to the Association, and cians now struck up the favorite melody of " Go < hat the same shall be eniered in the minute to Devil and shake yourself" aud they marched j book of the Committee, and published for the quickly home. Even this soul- stirring harmony' information of the Share- holders, did not inspire ) he mourners with joy. That Abraham BagneU, M. D. of Alfred Hill, T. I.
