Well, gentlemen, on the 21st of last May Mr.Bassett received a letter from Mr.Hardwicke inclosing one purporting to be from Sir Charles Bassett-- _The Judge._--Does Sir Charles Bassett admit the letter?
_Defendant's Counsel_ (after a word with Oldfield) .-- Yes, my lord.
_Plaintiff's Counsel._--A letter admitted to be written by Sir Charles Bassett.

That letter shall be read to you.
The letter was then read.
The counsel resumed: "Conceive, if you can, the effect of this blow, just as my unhappy and most deserving client was rising a little in the world.

I shall prove that it excluded him from Mr.Hardwicke's house, and other houses too.

He is a man of too much importance to risk affronts.

He has never entered the door of any gentleman in this county since his powerful relative published this cruel libel.
