A correspondence between Messrs. George Payne, B. Greville, J. Cumming, and Lord Henry Ben tinck, with Lord De Roos, retarding the charge of cheating at cards at Graham's Club, has appeared in the newspapers this week. The four gentlemen first named disclaim any connexion with the Satirist, in which paper, it seems, an incorrect account of the transaction appeared ; but they "distinctly charge" Lord De Roos " with cheating at cards, at Graham's Club, and else- where : " and undertake to prove their assertions "by evidence before a committee of gentlemen of unblemished honour and reputation." To this Lord De Roos replies, that it is rather too much to expect that he shall submit to the dictation of his accusers as to the tribunal that is to adjudicate the matter ; that he has prosecuted the Satirist in such a form as will give all who have any charges to make an opportunity
i
of bringing them forward; and that, n the mean while, he repels the accusation with "scorn, indignation, and defiance." Mr. Cumming, it is said, has since written to Lord De Roos, challenging him to prose- cute each and all of his accusers, as they cannot bring out the truth on the trial of the Satirist; and the Morning Post states that Lord De Roos has given instruction for an action against Mr. Cumming.
