JOHN THOROGOOD has been confined in
the Common Gaol of Chelmsford since the 16th of
Jannuary, 1839, for not paying a Church- rate of ss. 6d.
In consequence of his long confinement, his business has re-
ceived so much injury, that his friends propose a public sub-
scription, for the purpose of saving his affairs from utter ruin,
and as a testimony to him and to the country that they sympa-
thize in his sufferings, and honour the principle of religious
liberty, which is violated in his person.
Subscriptions to be paid, in Lordon, 'ln Roger Lee, Esq.,
Treasurer, Clapham Common, and on his account at Messrs.
Rogers and Co., bankers, 29, Clement's-lane ; to Mr. Robert
Besley, 15, Northampton-spare ; and Mr. Janus Dinnis, 62,
