I On Tuesday se'nnight an inquest' was taken at
He'jingly, 'in Sussex., by W. Wheeler; ..Gent. one
of the Coroners for that County, •on a view of thit
body of William Reed, a boy abotii is years of
age; who,whilst employed in driving a plo. team,
about ten.o'clock in the forenoon of Saturday the
3d inst. incautiously ate part of the root of a planti
botanically named. CEnanthe-Crocata,' and common. •
ly called Hemlock Dropwort, or Dead Tongue. An
hour after having eaten the toot, lie was seized
with dizziness; sickness, violent convulsions; and :Ho
-all.the symptoms usually produced by poison, and;
notwithstanding various efforts to give him medical
relief; -he died about two o'clock in thet afternocin
,of the same day. Another boy who partook of the
root was attacked:. at the same 'time with the like
symptoms; 'but he was relieved from its deadly ef-
feClS by a strong emetic.
This dangerous . plant was at first believed; by
many, to ,be the wild celery, and to the eye of a
common observer; it might indeed haVe borne such
,an appearance, though it much more resembles the
common garden parsley, but it grouts considerably
larger. The Dropwort has also been mistaken for
the Sinum Latifolium, or Water Parsnip, sci strong-,
ly recommended by the Ancients-; as a powerful
antiscorbutic; but from all these it may readily be
distinguished by its large and sinall tuburotts;
gered roots ; the roots of celery; as well as of
parsley, and the water parsnip, being composed of
-fibres :only. This deceptive herb, so fatal in its
.-effeds, cannot be too well known and,gnarded
against, it may therefore be proper to:observe, that it
grows by the sides of ponds, ditches, and rivulets:
Thursday before Sir RICH. FORD, a man was
committed for further examination, on suspicion of
stealing 15 sheep,. the property of Thohias
EST. of Crqydon, By the evidence adduced, h ap,
peared that early in the morning of the 9th inst,
the' Prisoner was Met near toWn, on the kent road,
by one Of the Police Patroke, who, suspefting the
sheep to be stolen, stopped' the Prisoner, and ques:-
tiOned him respecting" them;. when he said, he was
going
.to take . them to a Sattesman in Smithfield;
whose name he mentioned; and also that of the per:'
son 'to -whom he pretended they belonged; the Pa,
trOle, however, to be convinced, accompanied him
to Smithfield, and'saw him put.thein into the pens
of the Salesman he had mentioned, which satisfied
him that they could not be stolen ; but on coming
to Bowstreet he found mistake, intbemation
having. been Just given thCie; and on returning to
sMitlifield,. learned; that the 'sheep in question had
been soon after taken away by the man ky h ro ugh t
•them there : the following-day they were lotthd in
some sheep-peps aijslington, where they had been
privately brought ; and on Monday last the Prisonet
was apprehended in Surrey, by the same Patrole,

But, Sir, the do&rine of the ol4ligation of Mem-
bers of Parliament voting conformably -to the will
of their Constituents, is not only repugnant to
Freedom and our constitutional polity, but it is
highly' repugnant to every recognize.d principle Of
free Government. That it is contrary to the ge_
nius of our Constitution, is apparent, from the testi-
: monies of
,our ablest legal .historians. Judge
ELACKSTZME (vol. I, b. I. C. z.) observes on this
_subjed, -" thai every Member, though chosen by one
pan icular district, when eleded and returned, serves
for the ;whole Realm. For the end of his coming
thither is not particular, but general ; not barely
to advantage his Constituents, but the Common.-
..wealth; to advise HIS MAJESTY' (as appears from
the Writ of Simmons) " de communi consilio super
nertiis quibusdam arduis et urgentibus,, regem, sta.-
tam, et ,:'efeasionem regui Angtice et Ecclesta Az li_
-
coaceruentibus." And therefore, he is not
bound, like a Deputy in the United Provinces, to
con, It 'with, or take the advice of, his Constitu_
ens upon any particular point, unless he himself
thinks it proper or prudent so to do."
My Lord COKE in his 4th Institute, holds the
same ,todrine, which is also corroborated by the.
opinion of tLSYNGE on.Parlisments, by Lord HALE
in his History of the CotnmonLaw, by Sir THOMAS
SMITH in his Commonwealth of England, and by
Eui,,TRODE WHITELOCKE in his Commentary on
t King's Writ.
undoubtedly true, that in ancient times,
under Otte rigours of the Feudal System, when our
House of. Commons was assembled, more to assess
taxes than to make laws, some colour was giVen to
dodrine. The Representatives
.of the People could
.scarcely be said to have a legislative voice : they
were deemed sturdy beggars. Accordingly it was
• the pradice, as we find, in the Brevia Parlia-
Amtaria, that the boroughs and cities were repret.•
sented by neighbours, (z Prynn.' and
several Ads of Parliament have been, at times,
made to oblige the Members for cities and boroughs.
to be " resiants, abiding and free" of the said cities
or boroughs. (I Hen. V. c. 1, and 23' Hen. VI.
c. s.) But all these Ads were virtually • repealed
by the Qualification Ad in_ the reign .of Queen
Anne, since which. a more liberal construction has.
been iven to the duties °fa Member of Parliament;
and indeed, for the last two centuries, Members
have ceased to be considered either as assessors Of
taxes or sturdy beggars, but_ as Legislators and
coMpunent parts of the Government.
Having thus demonstrated the Law on this. sub_
.Vt, I proceed to. illustrate that a contrary opinion
is repugnant to every principle of free Government.
Montesquieu observei in his Spirit-of Laws (b.
c. 6.), "that the great advantage of Represent-
taxives is their being capable of discussing alfairs.-;--
'Sot this the People collectively are extremely unfit..
. It is not at all, necessary, that the Representatives
who have received a general instruction from their
Constituents, should wait to be larticala r&.in-
strulled on•every affair, as is practised in the Diet
of Germany. When the DeputieS repreSent'a body
of People, as in Holland, they ought to be acconnt.
able to their Constituents; 'but it is a dbrerent
thing in England, where they are deputed by
Boroughs."
Mr. Fox has uniformly maintained :this tiodrine
in the House of Commons on many memorable occa-
siOns ; and even the Rev. Mr. HottN.ETOOKE, the
popular Representative of Old. Sarum, lately made
use of it'as a ground on which he opposed the in.
trodudion of an Ad of the Legislature, by which
he is to be henceforth excluded from becoming,a
Member of the House of Commons. But no-one
has more accurately defined this principle
late eloquent Mr. BURKE. In his. Speech at Bris-
tol, previous to the eiedion in 1780; he delivered
,hiniself in the following impressive manner : "Let •

Tuesday se'nnight, Ann Roberts of Bryngwin, in

ing 'her down with a,hatchet; -and almost severing

Drag SIR, • 2
IT is with the most heartfelt satisfadion that I
address you on the incomparable excellence of your in-
valuable Medicine, I. EAKE's PATENT-PLUS. - In the
Spring'of i
this year I had the nisfortune to eontrad a Vene-
real Complaint, attended with the' Most alarming and dan-
gerous symptoms; insomuch, that I have been confined
to my room-Tor Thole Week, together, and not able to stir
out of it.;- I had no rest night nor day, and suffered the most
excruciating ipain and ytmerit, and., what was still worse,
my- eyes grew weak and dim, so that 1 could scarce discern
any object if ever so close to me, and expettednothing less
than the total loss of my sight.—From a stout, healthy,
and rather corpulent Imo, I became a mere shadow, andan
objectof pity and compassion. My friends had all given me
over,-and thought my recovery impossible. In this dreadful
state, and expeding every minute'. to be my last in this
world, I was fortunately- recommended by a. neighbour to
try yout Medicine; but having tried all medical aid' to no
purpose, and being at an enormous expellee, it was sometime
before 1 could be prevailed on to take. them ; at last I sent
for six boxes, and before I had taken them all, I found con-
siderable benefit ; my pains gradually decreased, and toy eye-
sight grew better, and, to the great surprize and astonish-
ment of all mydriends .(after taking three boxes more), my
health and strength was perfedly 'restored; and I anynow
thanks to my God and your invaluable Medicines) as 'well
and hearty-as ever I-was in my life.•
You. are at full liberty to publish this in any manner
you think proper,. for the benefit .of society at large' and
which 1 should have sent you sooner, but was fearful of a
relapse. I remain, with the utmost gratitude,
Dear Sir, your obliged humble Servant, K. L. LEIGH.
