TN consequence of the Noble and Generous
I.Sup-
port which 1 experienced in my former Contest, I felt
it a duty incumbent upon me to stand forth in defence of that
I n..!epencience which I conceived the Freeholders of Norfolk,
it their Sentiments could be fairly colleaed, were disposed
to assert. 1, t herefore, on the rumour of an ex peeled Disso-
-I,:tion of Path iment, took the Sense of the County by a Per-
Canvass, and had the heartfelt satisfaction to find it
full v answeeable to my most sanguineexpeetationi. Sir Jacob
A dry abandoned the Contest. The overbearing weight of
Government was then called in to counterad the Support
which appeared in my Favour, and a Cabinet Minister stood
forward as my Opponent.
Every impartial Person who has witnessed the progress of
the EleCtion must acknowledge, that the infitiendbof Go.
vernment has been exerted in a manner altogether without
cx4..idle. The died of this interference, and the coercive
measures adopted in very numerous instances, fully account
for the great variation between the Poll and the Report of
the Canvass.

Being thus compelled to relinquish the Contest, i have
only to lament the issue of a struggle in which the Inde-
pendence of .my Native County and the Interests of the
Kingdom at large are, in: my apprehension, so deeply con-
cerned.

Be assured that I shall ever retain the most 7ratefiil re-
membrance of the zealous and disinterested Support which
1 have in so many instances experienced, and also of the ex-
tensive attachment to our Cause, which had it,been left to
its own free operation, would undoubtedly have crowned our
endeavours with Success,

I have the honour to be,
Ggivr4rNtzl4.
Your much obliged and obedient §ervant,
JOHN WODEHOUSE.
Norwich, November iB, 0106.
