you hive though', fit to piiblifh the foregoing
" by request," I request you will in fart my
reply thereto, with the documents I fend you to
fubflantiate the truth of my statement, that the
good maxim of Audi alteram partevi, may not
be departed from, and the Public being then in
pofle/Kon of both fides of the question, will be
enabled to decide with impartiality, whether the
counsel who are said to have made the observa
tions pn'oliflied by you, had truth for their obje.l
in miking them, or whether it was not their
intention, by those animadversions, not only to
I conceal and pervert the truth ; but, likewise, by
J wilful miftatements, to render it the vehicle of
; malevolent abuse aud personal detraAtoa.
I When the publication in question mask' its firft
