To the WORTHY and INDEPENDENT FREEIViEN'of

the CITY .ot COVEWI RY.

CENTLLMEN,
THE late Contest in which we have hen engaged,
having terminated id a manner so unfavourable to our
wishes, and all present hopes of success being put-an end
to by the unconstitutional measures of our opponents,
' yield to the wishes of my Friends, in -withdrawing. myself
from a scene where my prctsence could only be productive of
riot and confusion, and Night possibly destroy the tranquil.
lity of the City. of Coventry.
tlii my. first :appearance as a Candidate for the Honour of
, representing you m Parliament, I pledged myself that I
would give to every Freeman an opportunity l'olling ;it
was with this view,,and not for the purpose of harassing my
opponent, that the Poll was protraaed, and-I trust you have
all profited by-that opportunity ofexereising your Franchise.
Whether the advantages gained-against us are of a ternporaryor
permanent nature, is no now to be discussed ; that will be
reservedfor the doerminatiorf of tchigher tribunal : be the
result however what it may, it will-not I hope be denied,
that every endeavour on my part has been used to ensure
the success of the Loyal Cause in whichme are engaged.
To those Gentlethen who have so nobly 'and generously
stepped forward in my behalf, t beg ter °Wet my most sincere
Thanks; and to assure them, that their exertions ltive in-
cited in.iny bean such sentimentkof gratitude as it will not
--beht the powef of tin;.-e;oextinettlitt.
With the most anxious desire to cultivate and preserve
a- continuance of that confidence and support which has
proved su flittering to. my fee Frigs, and the most fervent
wishes for the prosperity of the Clry of Coventry, .
I remain, Gentlemen,
Your most obliged and very faithful humble Servant,
