lish his actual guilt of the crimes which he is accused of , and consequently of his baying added thereto the daring sin of pefjury in bis solemn adjuration of bis innocence , the world must think your Lordships conduct oil this occasion absolutely irre-«! otictleable , I will not saV to the principles of shrisfciamty , ( for
who alaS ! novr thinks of Tegulatmg his conduct by tltem ?) but to the principles of that equity , which is supposed peculiarly to influence all the decisions of the court in which your Lordship presides .

depositing it confidentially in the ears of Lord F . must be too great an absurdity , because no worthy , good man , such as your Lordship , acknowledges Lord F . to be , can be silently indifferent to reproaches of such great importance , thrown upon the whole body of the Clergy of that religious society , to which he is seriously , and sincerely attached , ( To be concluded in our next , )
