 prietors took place in the City, when a 

 petition to the King was unanimously re- 

 solved npon, pra\ing him to withhold his 

 sanction fioni auy leaislative measure

 npon a hill compensation to the Planters, 

 if parliament should consider the eniauci- 

 pation of the slaves a national object. 



11. — A nieetiii^ of the propiielors of 

 East India stock, held at the India House, 

 when Sir John Uovie put the three follow- 

 ing qiiei^tions to the cliairmxn. Sir Robert 

 M'itram — Whether an embe/zlement of 

 350,0001. had «"t liceii discovered against 

 the JMarijtiis of Hastiiifjs — whether they 

 had not refused hiin 6,0001. a-year on 

 that accouni — wheiher they did not in- 

 tend to iMi|iea(h him? 'Jo these ques- 

 tions seveial directors answered in the ne- 

 gative ; hot the chairman pertinaciously 

 refused any reply, on the fironnd of irres;ii- 

 laiity. In truth, the charge which ap- 

 peared in a weekly newspaper, is ntterly 

 wilhdiit fb'.'.ndalion. The company ap- 

 pear to have lost that sum in a transac- 

 tion with the Nizam, having agreed to 

 pay his debl«, which included a recent 

 loan from a ]>ritish snhject ; but the con- 

 nection of ihe JMarquis of Hastings with 

 tlie transaction was merely ministerial, and 

 nnatieiided by the slightest advantage to 

 liimself. It is also understood that 60,0001. 

 liad been voted as an equivalent for the 

 5,0001. a year. Nothing but the genius 

 of malignity could have invented or given 

 countenance to the vile slander.

14 — A public meeting held in the 

 Great Koom ot the Auction Mart, Mr. 



[March \, 



when it was 

 resolved to establish a reading-room. 



15th — The cause of Mr. Clement ar- 

 gued before the court of the Duchy of 

 Lancaster, in regard to the bold, and to 

 our minds unjustifiable, step of levying tire 

 fine of 500/. imposed on him for publish- 

 ing the trials of Thistlewood.&c. contrary 

 to a liat, which we think illegal, of the 

 court. No man in England, according to 

 Magna Charta, can be mulcted but by the 

 verdict of his peers ; and, if the court had 

 any authority, it would have been easy to 

 have brought the whole question before a 

 jury. For our parts, we should advise an 

 action against the sheritf, in this and all 

 similar cases. Whatever be the decision, 

 a public subscription ought to indemnify 

 Mr. Clement. 



21. — The Lord Mayor pave a grand 

 dinner to General Mina, to the brother of 

 Kiego, and various Spanish and Greek 

 patriots. 



'J'he months of Decemlier, January, and

 little snow and trilling fiosts, scarcely suf- 

 ficient to supply the ice houses of the con- 

 fectioners. The sunny days have at the 

 Eaine time equalled the humid ones.
