GENERAL CONVENTION.
r HE followin7 ADDRESS is recommended
-IL by the COUNCIL for ADOPTION at the GENERAL
PUBLIC MEETINGS to be held in the ensuing week, when
it is also to be recommended that the Address shall be signed
as numerously as possible. and FORWARDED WITHOUT
LOSS OF TIME TO THE COUNCIL, AT THE
ARUNDEL COFFEE HOUSE, STRAND:—

We, Your Majesty's loyal suljects, had reason to hope that
the mild spirit of the age had rendered obsolete all those san-
guinary laws which, in other reigns, had subjected offenders to
ignominious death for comparatively trivial offences. We re-
gret, however, to learn that three of Your Majesty's sub-
jects have been recently convicted under an old Act of
Parliament, which appeais to have escaped the eye of the Legis-
lature in its revision and repeal of barbarous enactments ; we
cannot avoid believing that had those crimes been found upon
the calendar of a general assize, and not treated as political
offences, that they would have been more mildly construed
and the punisleotent, even after conviction, would not have
amounted to a sacrifice of life. Under these circum-
stances we humbly and respectfully appeal to your Ma-
jesty, that you will be graciously pleased to exercise your
Royal prerogative, by extending the royal pardon to Francis
Roberts, Joseph Howell, and John Jones, lately convicted and
sentenced to death, at the assizes of Warwick. We beg most
respectfully to direct your Majesties attention, to the unfavour-
able circumstances, under which the prisoners were tried, being
committed for a mere riot, and afterwards being capitally
indicted.
