So far from being deprived of books, Oxford was most plentifully supliP with those suitable to his wretched situation ; and therefore he could not be at a loss for the means of occupying his time and attention. Mr. Pelham however, deemed it to be his duty to forward the letter to the Marquis of isT'

"

manby shortly after receiving it. On 'Wednesday forenoon, Mr. Pelham had, for the first time, an interview with his youthful client ; who appeared muck pleased at his calling, though it had been alleged that he had previously refused to accept any professional assistance. His manlier upon that occasion was not that of it pOrSOn placed in so serious a situation. On the contrary, he seemed per- fectly indifferent ; and upon being told of the extraordinary sensation his con- duct had produced, he laughed heartily at the fuss, as he called it, that had been made about it, and his becoming an object of curiosity. Ile said there was nothing at all in it; that he had been accustomed to fire pistols out of his nom in West Place, merely to frighten the old women ; and repeatedly as- serted that there were no bullets in the pistols when he tired them at the car- riage of her Majesty. When asked if it was his wish that his trial should be postponed to the next session, he replied not, and that the sooner it was over the better."
