Mr. FAUNTLEROY'S defence ...
Mr. F.ttfxi LEROY'S defence seems tohave created a slight combustioin. We are Neither friends nor enemies to him, nor to his partners. It is not impossible, for anY tliing we know or have said, that the house may havc partaken to a certain (legree of the advantages resulting froin the acts of their partner: but it would be as e'ell to consider for a rmoment upon what evidlence that charge rests. Far be it fromi us, at this crisis, to (lestroy any portion of the effect which Mr. FAL.aILEROV/S (lefence may have pro(luced in his favour. WVe would simply state, that it is not usual to assume as provedl facts, the declarations of one in his un- happy situation. 'I'he establishment at Brighton, he says, cost him no nore than 3401. per annum. 'I'he appearance of the honse, we sholitl( suppose, woul(l at once invali(late or confirmn this Etateineut. It would be verv easy, if his impu. inity (lepeni(led on the issue, to try the other assertions.
