►o,,rening a meeting in the county of Wilts, the
following answer was returnetl by his Lordship :-
2- • " Wartlear Castle, October 26, IEII9.

" MT Draft gift—lf I thought that the subject of the
16th of Mistiest last was in a train of legal investigation,
or If I frft that a public meeting to petition Parliament
was uneonsfitational, 1 should be very glad to add my

sluatnre to any instrument you recommend. Put against
the whole matter of the Declaration you enclose to me,
I must immediately and decidedly protest. To both the
-opinions contained in it I ens the furthest from being able
to subscribe. The Declaiation states, first,' That it is
our decided sentiment, a meeting convened for such •
purpose, at this juncture, would be unconstitutional, as
teod:sig to. infivience public opinion on matters already in
• 111113 of legal investigation, and waiting for judicial
determination.' To ibis sentiment I cannot juin, because
1 tart • viral the legal investigation of the eircemstances of
the Ifitiel hiegust, viz the inquest held at Oldham, has
breu suaprelled, and that the judicial determination has been
it nGtrtnaittely lammed by the circumstance of no bills of in-
ch, intent having beer' found against the persons engaged to
'oppress the meeting of that day. lam far from presuming
1., question the decision of the Grand Jury of the county of
Lancaster, on such evidence as came before them ; hut I
ent,et admit that an Address for further inquiry into a
prind.farie case of illegal violence, by which death has en-
sued, tan, without a solecism in language, be termed ma.
co•shtstioael.' Se Badly, the Declaration eines, That it
would be of dangerous tendency, by weakening the confi-
dence of all classes of his Majesty's subjects within this
county, in the wisdoms, in the integrity, said the power of
those tribunals which have hitherto maintained the equal
administration of justice in every emergency.' I cannot
juin in this sentiment either ; because 1 t►ink that such
sentiment cane°l be nose effectually strengthened and pro-
i.ioted thee by encouraging the people to apply for Justine
by addresses to the fountain of Executive Power—the awe&
reign, and to solicit inquiry by petition to the bighead WI.
