THURSDA Y, AUGUST 5, 1802.

To the IND! PENDENT, and PUBLIC-SPIRITED
FREEHOLDERS of MIDDLESEX.

CZNTLEMILN,
MR. MAINWARING has endeavoured to make
the Public believ, that our Opposition to his Re_
Election was an attack upon the Governntent, and that his
Numbers on the Poll would be a justification for his Political
Conduct

His Numbers on the Poll do not, in the least, incline me
to believe, that even those Freeholders of Middlesex approve
his condlici, but only that some of them were not sufficient-
ly acquainted with it. But Ido acknowledge, and I wish all
the Freeholders had been sooner aware of it, that an Oppo-
sition to his Re- Eledion was, in elfed, an opp3sition to any
Government by secret and concealed Torture.
. Gentleindne'when I assert that secret Imprisonment, se-
cret Trial, and secret Execution, are the never failing
engines of oppression and tyranny, and that innocence car.
have no security but by public Trial, public Execution, and
public Custody, in the face of day, and before the eyes of the
Country at large: When I assert this, lam conscious that I
stand upon a rock from which I cannot be removed by
any hired Magistrates, Parliaments or Kings. This is no
difficult speculation ; it is not confined to any particular form
of GOvernment,. but is equally necessary under all ; for ty-
ranny is no forrii of Government, but thedissolution of every
social tie. I repeat it, there can be no security against ti;
ill treatment of Plisoners, there can be no possible means of
hearing their Complaints, or knowing their Sufferings, but
'by. Publicity of Custody, and free Communication with
their Friends.

I heartily congratulate you, Gentlemen, on this tedious
and protraded Conte't, for it has given an opportunity to the
independent and public spirited Freeholders of this Metro-
politan County, deliberately to declare their sentiments of
the present system of Torture in the Dungeons of Cold Bath-
fields, and their opinion of Mr. Justice Mainwaring and his
humane friend,

" The steeled" Gaoler who seldom is the friend of Man."
Gentlemen, For having done my. duty in my place in Par..'
Lament against the barbarous and cruel _system of secret and
close imprisonment, I was stigmatized brthe Lord Lieutenant
of this County, and in violation of the privilege of Parliament,,
and of all Law and Decency, I was proclaimed by him
throughout the land, as,a person not fit to be misted to visit
or perform any office of humanity to Any wretched vidim
within those accursed walls. .
Permit me to say it belonged to this same County, to Wipe
away this undeserved stigma, and you have done it nobly.
My own share in this Contest I most chearfully undergo,
assuring you, that I shall never think any personal sacrifice
of mine too great to assist in restoring our Country to its for-
mer Freedom and Blessedness: and in this declaration I beg
that I may .not be misunderstood. I love my family like
other men ; but it driven to the alternative, I had much ra-
ther that my children and posterity should be poor in a free
and flourishing Country, than rich in an enslaved and im-
poverishd kingdom. I love my Country well, and its
tranquil', ty ; but I had much rather it should be annihilated
than enslaved.

I remain, Gentlemen, with every sentiment Of Resped for
the Insiciundcat Vreeholders of Middlesex,
Your much obliged, and
Sincerely devoted SerVant,
FRANCIS BURDETT.

1m PostrioN ver having' been so general as at

person who is in. possession of a Medicine of established re-

possibility of a spurious composition being foisted on the
Public, to the obviously endangering the lives-Of the afflict,

DEAR SIR, Lancaster, Nov. 26,
.170.
ACTUATEW-by a principle 61-- gratitude and •
justice to Society, and,your Drops,. added to zny own
onvidiOn, obliges toe cordially to confess and vouch for their
-very extraordinary powers. I have, for -thirty-six years,
been afflicted-with the above complaints, although most of
the- Faculty, under' whose cate 1, have been, termed my af-
fliction scorbutic, tilt, happily; I came under your care,
when you-pronounced my case to be SCropliulOns. About six
months ago, ;a Lady in the neighhourliood of Barton, hearing
the depfOrable condition I was iii, visited me, -When, triune-
(Barely ,:she strenuously recommended t he use of your Drops,
at which time 1 was in such a calamitous state, as I think
scarcely ever- poor -mortal was---my right arm and left leg
were both swelled to a truly alarming degree ; in my arms
and hands there were upwards .of twelve running wounds,
which issued
.a large quantity of ichorous humour, attended
with insuffilable pain ; My leg and foot were so
that.l had not been able to .get either shoe orsttxkipg on for
many months ; there were likewise many wounds in my leg
and foot, which discharged a large quantity of humour, si-
milar r.o that which issued from my • hand and anal, but was
somewhat more glutinous ;-- and, to add to my distress, I was
much afflicted with an asthmatic complaint, and int..nnitting
fever, for twelve months, every other day, together with
depraved appetite, faintness, lowness. and sinking of the
spirits, and my sleep- was as it were totally departed from
me, as 1 had not known what it was to experience'a sound
sleep for many months; such was my lamentaole condition,
that I was .carried to and. from .my bed, and .worn almost
to a skeleton; indeed, it is impossible fur me to describe
the situation to which I was reduCed, when began-taking
your Drops • befbre I had finiShed one small bottle, I
found himselfl much better ; but how shall I express my
gratelu.l thanks to God, -and you, for your inestimable pre-
paration, when, by the time Ihadtaken three small bottles,
1 could walk from my own house to and from Manchester, a
distance of ten or eleven miles, and by taking three more
bottles, I am perfectly restored to health : I am now in the
sixty-second year of my age, and when I look back it strikes
me with astonishment, to consider what "a 'poor emaciated
creature I was for so many years—thatyour merit and good-
ness may be rewarded in this world, as well as the world to
come, is the sincere wish and prayer of, dear Sir,
Your devoted humble Servant,
SARAH PRESTWICH.
