NOTE.—He was admitted a student of the Inner Temple 7 Nov. 1810, but the Benchers refused to call him to the bar in 1819 on account of more than one verdict having gone against him in
## actions affecting his character; at his request in 1821 they
examined into the particulars of the charges brought against him, and came to a resolution that they saw no reason to alter their determination. In 1834 he procured a committee of the House of Commons to be appointed, at the head of which was Daniel O’Connell to examine the evidence and that committee reported in his favour, but the Benchers of the Inner Temple nevertheless refused to call him to the bar.—No call of the House of Commons has been enforced since Harvey’s motion on the pension list 19 April 1836.—He was tried at the Guildhall, London 30 Oct. 1823 for a libel on George iv. in the _Sunday Times_ 9 Feb. 1823, sentenced to pay a fine of £200 and to be imprisoned in the Marshalsea 3 months. _Reports of State Trials, n.s. ii_, 1–68 (1889).
