TO THE ELECTORS OF THE BOROUGH
Th G, OF GREENWICH.
ewspapers of this day will convey to you the decision of the
Courte nentlemenof Exchequer on the action brought against me for having sat
and voted as your Representative in the House of Commons. I trust
every Elector, and, indeed, every Englishman, will carefully read
1418 decision.pour
Judges have given their opinions—one in my favour, three
ilmtist me. One of the Learned Judges decides that I lawfully omitted
hoem,,W2fda —" upon the true faith of a Christian ;" the three others
an oosite view, leave me liable to the most grievous pe-
t-I;sueS of the pp
law for that omission. I therefore hardly know whe-
panlairti addressing you to-day as one enjoying the rights of an
t:.*:.‘"throan, or as a Popish outlaw, deprived of the ordinary pro-
-Von afforded by the Constitution.
Were we now living in the times when the law by which I ant
`,•!aentned was first rassed, I should feel the sentence weLhing very
ggadinl on my mind ; but, relying as I do on the intelligence and
moral feeling of the country at large at the present day, I do
I.22_t_ fear that a sentence so repugnant to equity, justice, and truth,
possibly be carried into effect. Can there be a greater misa.p-
laleation of law and justice than that an act intended solely against
papists and Jacobites of bygone days, who either could or would
~, take the Oath of Abjuration, should be used against me, who
e,_aworn to every part of the oath, with the exception of the
Z.—" upon the true faith of a Christian ?"
the terms of the decision I have become a Popish recusant eon-
'''. Will the people of England, will the constituencies of the
pli. permit such a perversion of justice as this very name_ Mt
74 Vie,
If the right of private judgment and the free exercise of con-
sciencea are to be denied to ant. British subject. let this be plainlyf
; let England openly become like those despotic countries o
farope in which It is a part of their written law that religious disa-
Dillties should prevail ; but do not let us, by a stringent eenstructio
clratatutes almost obs.dete, virtually enact disqualifying laws, utterly
andentirely opposed to the spirit of the age and to the . n
Corstittitioiisi
tier which we have the happiness to live—a Constitutwhich
.1 Pride and protection of every man born on Britishsoil, and
"'all never abridged the liberty of the subject unless it were neces-
sary for the safety of the State.
With regard to the further legal measures to be taken in cones-
,,'ltlence of this decision, I shall act as I may be advised. In refer-
One' to my 'Position asyour representative, I leave myself entirely in
~ our Ends,-feeling assured that
I have hitherto done nothing to for-
at confidence with which you have honoured me, and which
i-„„',u,st You will see no reason whatever to withhold when an oppor-
.7.Y shall again be afforded you for electing representatives of
your important borough.
I shall take the earliest opportunity of placing myself in personal
'
Unieatwn with you, and to be,
I have the honourGentlemen,
Your obedient Servant,
DAVID SALOMON'S.

BURTON PALE ALE, OR BITTER BEER.
The BURTON BREWERS have requested me to publish a
Solemn declaration, which they have made before me in my official
capacity, and which they have left in my keeping, in answer to
a chievous
charge recently brought against them to the effect
mis
that they use Strychnine in the making of their celebrated Bitter
Beer. That a charge so absurd should obtain a moment's credence
appears surprising to persons on the spot, who know that if ever a
Manufactured article was free from adulteration, it is this whole-
some and grateful beverage. In fact, it is well known to every one
practically acquainted with the process, and ought to be known to
*very Chemist, not to mention learned " M.D.s," that nothing
could produce the article in perfection but the finest malt and hops
and the purest water, combined with the most scrupulous cleanliness
and great skill in the manal acture.
•. The BURTON BREWERS, in adopting this Rode of defence, lave
been advised by counsel that it 13 the only legal course open to
them, owing to the extreme vagueness of the charge. It would
have been more agreeable to them collectively, or to any of them
individually, to have met their calumniator in a court of law, where
he would hame had every facility for mak rig good his charge, had it
been capable of proof'. As, however, the opportunity of doing so is
denied them, they think it due to the public, as well as to them-
„selvd, to repel the ealurhny in the most solemn form the law allows
theta to employ.

We, the several persons whose names are hereunto subscribed.
4711..5 WhOlesale Brewers at Burton-upon-Trent, in the County
d,lt'ford do severally• and respectively solemnly and sincerely
e that in the mai:infective by us or our respective firms of
'Alter Beer or other Beer r Ale, no article whatever is used or
alloyed, directly or indirectly, other than malt, hops, and water;
b._ that In our respective Breweries no other article ever was
or employed, excepting that in- the year 1847 some of us
,sZ.! by way of experiment, (under an Act of Par.iament passed
tic
bti,at year authorising the same) a small quantity of sugar,
ether
use of which was very shortly abandoned. And we
say, that we never even heard or suspected that
use of Strychnine was imputed to any of the Burton Brewers,
attch imputation recently appeared in some of the public
eigpapers.' And we further solemnly and sincerely declare that
.41,VmPlUtation is absolutely and entirely false and grouadless.
