Dear Murray,

I send you below the names of your Jury. Your danger was rather more than usual yesterday, because from the non-attendance of enough to the Special Jury, there were eight of the Common Westminster Jury among them. This made us at first anxious to have the Duke and Capt. B. ready to give evidence if wanted, till from the plaintiffs counsel leading the cause towards our strong point of defence, we felt that they would not be necessary, and that it was better to avoid calling them, that we might preclude another speech in reply. The attacking speech

was bitter, and especially on your Review. One of the flowers you did not hear—“The Quarterly Review is the Bible of a faction. There is a faction in this country as ready to swear by it as the Mahommedans by their Koran.” If you wish to have any of the shorthand notes copied out, I think the two speeches, without the passages from the book, would be sufficient. The Solicitor-General paid a high compliment both to you and to the Review.

Yours most sincerely,
Sharon Turner.
