Lords Sitting of 16 February 1841

Preamble
Their Lordships met this morning at eleven o'clock for the Trial of the Earl of Cardigan; it does not appear to the Editor that this trial is properly a subject for report in a work professing to give only the Debates in Parliament, yet as many persons might be disappointed in not finding in such a book a matter of such interest, to which publicity has been given in the same manner as matters of Debate are given, thus distinguishing it from appeal, and other judicial cases, to prevent such disappointment, a perfect report will be given in the Appendix to this volume. After the trial the House adjourned to Friday.
