THE ARNOLD CASE.
[To TaS EDITOR Or TIM ..EPECTAT0101 HIR,—I cannot expect you to give me more room to discuss the Arnold case; but, in reply to "Official" on April 18th, I beg leave to say that the true history of the case may be read in Truth of April 15th, or in the next June issue of the English Review. The Privy Council Judges expressly repudiate the finding of the Magistrate whom Mr. Arnold censured, the finding that his accused friend was "pure and philanthropic "; and the Judges do not justify the sentence on Mr. Arnold. So the Secretary of State, following them, would be justified in (1) stopping the civil suit he is now maintaining against Mr. Arnold, and (2) paying at least £2,000 towards Mr. Arnold's direct and indirect expenses and losses. Such of the sub. scriptions as can be traced would then be refunded, and the mischief done would be minimized.—I urn, Sir, Ize.,
DAVID ALEC WILDON.
