If I bad bad any auspicion that mom Mtita were really about to be commenced by you for Mr. Graeo agaioM R. M. J«rna, Eaq. or myself, I should have deferred foUJoMll^, ,fHi,illiflW| .Oil>H|(iil ii the latter part of my note to you dMiPnleM la wflH'M the (Mhor suits should have been determined. The general tenor of your letter, I may add however, so finr as it reUitea to theae quertiont, ia for the present aufiksiently aatisAietory. You have done me the injuatice to imply that my objeet in ad* dressing you was to intimidate you tmuk the flirther performance of your professional duty to your client. In answer to which I indignantly reply that I have too great a respect for myself, and ■hare with my well-disposed fellbwt a^pesnon leferred to, without havine called your attention to the cause "within a reasonable time,'* you catonot wonder that I ahottld now be unwilling to lose any farther time in sueking satfsfoction for that insult, and wfll perhaps not consider so uarMsonaUe the cause of my delay : wbieh I viil now state as briefly as I can. When during your argument you made tbe^aasertion quoted in my former note, my first impulse was to rise and implore the protection of dieCourt ; upon sefoad thoughts however I deemed it best to submit the matter to defendant's counsel, wMfe i x ca$e mtu ]^t m Court, and in my confeienee with those genUemen, Mr. Ilazen'a advice to me was, to take no notice of it whatever, adding, that " profeaiional men will do t|Bse things." Mr. Street however, jocularly advised me to nneoorafle rather than prevent your making mis-statements, for, said he, the Master of the Holts will not decide upon what is said to be evideneot but upon the evidence itself as duly reported ; and whenever Counsel on either side make such improper assertions they must damage their own cause. With this advice I remained quiet while (Mb case was still pending ; but the very instant the defendant, urged by his counsel, consented to forego his privilege to appeal, I felt at libei^ to take die matter of the insult into my own hands, and at once applied for a certified copy of my evidence to confhiniyou with it ; and if any mciMe be necessary for the long delay in preparing it for me, I have no doubt the Master in Chancery can satisfy you. What 1 have now to demand ts that, out of Court you withdraw the offensive charge which in Court you made against my vtiiucity. And when I state that, be the c«nsequences what they may, I am resolved to insist upon your now denying in the plainest terms that I «(vef "• swore" as you charge me with swearing, 1 do so in the hope that no OM will Buq>ect me of attempting improperiy to " overawe" you. I remain Sir, your obedient sertut, E. L. JABVI8. W. J. Ritekis, Ek|., Ow. &o. . No. IV. S»— 7he«<2ay, I9«* Auguit, 1845. In reply to your letter of the 18th, I have only to say that io my former note toyoU I consider I went further in explanationthan in strictness you had any right to mA, At this great lapse of time aAer the occurrence referred to, I have no recollection of the particular words I used in the arguaiMit of the cause, but I have already stated that be they what they might they were not dictated by any personal hostile feeling to you, or any dkaire to give yon p^rsoiwl oflbnce : they were dictated by what 1 eonsidered a du^ I owed my clwat nt the time, and I do not now hold myself m any way answerable to you for any argument* I may have used in the discharge of that duty.
