The Morning Post has commenced the demolition of Sir James
Clark's statement of the case of Lady Flora Hastings ; and this morning most effectually deals with the Court Physician's apology for his long silence— that the "accusations brought against him were either anonymous or unauthorized" until the Marquis of Hastings published his last statement. The Post reminds Sir James, that the "accusations" were first brought before the world in a letter in the Examiner, bearing Mr. Hamilton Fitz- gerald's signature, on the 24th of March ; that Lord Hastings's letter to Lord Melbourne, demanding the dismissal of Sir James Clark, ap- peared in the Morning Post of the 13th of April ; that another letter, written by the Dowager Marchioness of Hastings to Lord Melbourne on the 12th of March, was published in the Post on the 16th of April,— in which letter, the Dowager Marchioness said, " I claim at your hand, my Lord, as a mark of public justice, the dismissal of Sir James Clark." Yet Sir James coolly pretends that his assailants were "anonymous," and their charges "unauthorized."
