Evidence
When accompanied with a moral character altogether pure from
reproach every such mis-statement I consider, as already
observed, as a mark of perturbation of mind indeed, but
at the same time in a no less unequivalent proof of
sincerity.
In bringing to view a few of these proofs demonstrations of sincerity
I shall begin with the worthy gentleman first in rank.
I am wholly unacquainted says Sir George Paul
with the respectable individual to whom discretion and humanity
it appears to have been in the immediate contemplation
of to consider.
That at the time of writing this sentence the obscurity
of the individual in question had bereft him of the place
which he had now the honour to occupy be in the notion of the worthy
Baronet is but too evident. But certain it is,
that there were a time in at which the worthy Baronet
were not only acquainted with the entitled person but
rather better more acquainted with him than to all appearance
he could have wished. At the table of a common friend
still living then though but not now in Parliament, Mr Philip Metcalf it happened
to us to meet. In the recommendation of The Panopticon plan Mr Metcalf
whose family and soever an intimacy had had subsisted
of an an date than that of my birth were then taking
in an active part.
