You will understand the possession of the child. The Duke has
nothing to do with it. Lord W---- has her now with him. A _habeas
corpus_ has been moved, and the law must, of course, decide this.
You will be so good as to return the Duke's letter, as he desired
me to let him have it again. He really seems much obliged to you
for the interest you have taken about it, and I think is much more
at ease on the subject than he appeared to be on Friday. He knows
for _certain_ that Lord N---- did advise Lord W---- on the question
of Mr. W----.
Believe me, ever most truly yours,
W. H. FREMANTLE.
The Catholic Belief Bill continued to be warmly discussed in
Parliament, and for a time almost excluded all other subjects of
interest from public attention.
MR. W. H. FREMANTLE TO THE MARQUIS OF BUCKINGHAM.
House of Commons, Four o'clock.
I saw the Duke yesterday, who is truly thankful to you for the
interest and concern you take in the business. He is fully sensible
of the advantage on every ground to arbitrate in this matter,
though he treats with indignation the attempt to fix a guilt on
him. He states, in the most solemn manner, to me--and really in
such a manner as I cannot for a moment disbelieve--that he is
utterly innocent of the imputed charge; that it is a diabolical and
infamous conspiracy, which any man may be liable to; and that if it
proceeds, it will be necessary to expose and punish; that it is
utterly impossible, without fraud and falsehood of the grossest
kind, to bring home to him such a crime. Saying all this, he,
however, admits with you the effect of such a charge on his
character, until it is fully confuted and exposed.
