The Times has behaved very ill to Lord LYNDHURST. Either
there was something to be said in favour of his Lordship's voluntary attend- ance in the House of Lords to hear an appeal from his own "crack judgment," or such conduct is wholly indefensible. In the latter case, a prudent friend would have been silent. The Times drew attention to the subject, by saying (what no one else has said) that Lord LYND. HURST is, not only suspected, but accused of " corrupt motives ;" and it has been silent ever since, though defied by the Courier and our- selves to justify that of which Lord LYNDHURST is really accused. This, considering the fury with which the Times attacked Lord LYND- HURST'S accusers, is a plain acknowledgment that there is nothing to be said in his defence. He is condemned by his own advocate.
