[61] The subject of this correspondence was a remark of Lord Kenyon in June 1799, when in dealing with a case, Host v. Whalley, he mentioned that General Fitzpatrick had lost 400l. or 500l. in a gaming house, which he refused to pay, and animadverted somewhat severely on his conduct. General Fitzpatrick, in his first letter, dated August 27, 1799, denied that these were the true facts. He stated his reasons for refusing to discharge his debt for the present to Mr. Martindale, an undischarged bankrupt, and informed him that he had the latter’s sanction to the course he was taking. He said he hoped, therefore, that Lord Kenyon would take an early opportunity of correcting his statement, but as he did not do so, he wrote again, on January 20, that his only course was to publish his letters. These appeared in the True Briton, March 5, 1800.
