Mr. Broughhaminquired of the noble lord opposite, whether the Mr. George Manners, whose 1321 appointment to be his majesty's consul to a foreign state had lately appeared in the Gazette, was the same George Manners who had been for some years, in London, the editor of the most slanderous and infamous publication in the land, "The Satirist:" who had stood on the floor of the King's-bench, and received the sentence of the court for a slanderous attack on a private individual?
Lord Castlereaghdeclared, that he had no knowledge that the individual in question had been subjected to any prosecution whatever.
§ Mr. Broughamcould assure the noble lord, from his own knowledge, that if that George Manners was the same as the editor of "The Satirist," he had been tried and imprisoned for slander. He admitted, at the same time, that the said Manners had always been in favour of the noble lord, and had supported his politics.
