Lord Broughamwished to mention that he had received a letter from a Mr. Abbott, a defaulter in the Bankruptcy Court, which, as far as it went, was an exceedingly proper letter. The writer admitted the crime he had committed, but said that it did not follow, because he had committed one crime, that everything said of him was to be believed; and in that he (Lord Brougham) agreed with Mr. Abbott. The writer stated, as a cause of his having committed the grave offence for which he had suffered, that he had been defrauded by two near relations of the whole of his property, and he did not state that by any means as a justification, but merely as a palliation of his conduct. He at the same time solemnly declared that that was his first offence; that he had never before done anything of the kind; and that the statement he (Lord Brougham) had received from a respectable person at Brussels was utterly and absolutely devoid of foundation, and for the truth of that statement Mr. Abbott referred to his employers. He further stated that he had not one farthing of the money in his possession, but that all had been lost in the speculations which he had been induced to enter into.
