On Mr. M. G. COOPER'S health being drank,
that Gentleman returned thanks and said, he had
toast Ito perform, viz. is May the 92 voles at the
late election be increased to 192, at the nest." In
that case Lyon. might be considered as a free
borough, which itrtiow Was not, since it was well
ki:own that • large proportion of votes in favour of
Colonel Walpole were compulsory, and that many
who opposed Sir W. Fulkes would rejoice un-
feignedly at his election. In that case Lynn would
not have a member who would vote in favour of the
suspension of the Habeas Corpus Act, who would
not vote grants of large sums of money when the
country was in the greatest distress, but would
always vote in favour of those measures which
tended to promote the liberty of the subject, and
consequently the propptrity of the country.

600 burgesses; how the number became so much re-s

others, he noticed 14 or 16 all tailors, HOW there was
not one ; a little further on were as many all barbers,
now they were indebted to strangers every morning
fur a clean face; a little further nn, fourteen or lit-
teen all cordwainersiathere was now but one. He
mentioned this to hint at the propriety of endeavour-
ing to increase the number of freemen, and to main-
tain that it was in contemplation to establish a Cotu•
