Macdonalds argument on bribery and election law
Mr. Macdonald argued before the select committee that the petitioners skewed public opinion to claim that recent Members bought seats with money. He distinguished direct bribery from agency, insisting only proven powers to bribe could bind the principal. He cited Shaftesbury as contrast and argued the law requires stated proof and proper evidence, not general conjecture.

Ear of the Polite Philosopher in Rome
A wandering correspondent recalls an anecdote about Marquis and a charming liar who boasted of an ear gifted with beauty. He is said to have sat for an eminent Roman statuary, and if Toulouse cannot preserve his whole body Rome may possess the ear of the Polite Philosopher, a prized memento.
