It appeers in the evi- dence that the scandal was dealt with upon the hustings and in the newspapers at the time, and affected politics to a certain ex- tent Mr. Saunders gays :-that Mr. R. C.

It appears, and I find Mr. Horton had not so seamed him, but that upon receiving a letter out of the poet office which had been opened by some per- son he made a remark to Mr. Campbelt about it, the remark not at all involving the charge of Mr. Campbell opening it, or any one in th• poet aloe; and Mr. Campbell understanding bit by mistake to say that he accused him of opening it, he called Mr. Horton • liar and went around and met Ms. Horton io the lobby and there ()knotted aildnere separated by persons prompt.
