§ Mr. L. Charltonrose, pursuant to notice, to move for a Select Committee to inquire into the matter of the Ludlow Charity Trusts. He 881 himself could not but recollect, and perhaps the House had not forgotten, that a serious charge had been preferred against him in connexion with this subject by the town-council of Ludlow at a time when he was not in a situation to answer them. He now entreated the House to grant him a Select Committee to inquire into those charges, and he should be able to make out a clear case, not only of his own innocence, but of a conspiracy on the part of his accusers to defeat the ends of justice. The funds of the charitable trusts of Ludlow had been most improperly interfered with, and it was because he had raised his voice against this malversation that he had been made the subject of every possible annoyance that a gentleman could receive at the hands of a body like the town-council of Ludlow.
§ House counted out.
