taio a majority of the electors of Westminster that you enter-
gi .i a favourable opinion of Sir C. M. Sutton, and intend
frj%e him your support. We have looked upon you as the
not vote
of the people, and do most earnestly hope that you will
stote for that gentleman.
I „r lit/arum—Gentlemen; I feel extremely sorry that
theaCtlillOt Comply with your request. Ido certainly consider
recoil ai question not of the least importance. You must
Ophr,eFt. that Sir Charles Manners Sutton was elected by the
vc4":ittoo party about two years ago, and now you wish. to
I can ;ite out of the office. I consider this a party question.
for s• aye no other motive under Heaven in giving my. vote
kos, lr Charles Mannets Sutton than that I consider he is the
ak ',Proper person in the whole House to fill that office.. I
her.Piaced now rather in a peculiar situation by your coming
,pitlei at this late moment, and not having been informed of the
AirQns,,°f HIE onstituents on the question before.
3.()I1 h. E—ln consequence of reports being afloat that
Lnia,tl Promised to vote for Sir Charles fanners Sutton, the
Itlin;' Association of St. Margaret's and St. John's, West-
the
had directed their Secretary to write to you, and state
a,d",tmloris entertained by the Members of the Association,
Prat, `l° maiority of the electors of Westminster. If, Sir
tveios, we had received your answer to that communication,.
your .°llld have known how to have acted, and on receipt of
traitesrBwer, we should have formed a deputation, and have
ml You at Brighton, and on receiving your answer, we
tfic dnr,' °lt our return to town, have zlalled a publie meeting of
the tors of Westminster, and communicated the same to
Would 6At''otas.-----In ordinary times the election of Speaker
the like ave been of no consequence whatever; but in times
formed present it is absolutely necessary that we should be in-
liberal whether we are to be ruled by a Tory faction or the
Party.kr, m

BURDETT.—I certainly received a letter from
eon'ssociation of St. Margaret and St. John ; but such a
thws Imication might have come from three or four indivi-
atsw'ralld not from the whole body • and therefore it was not
haveehad• have been among all' parties in the state, and I
eertai"e,lter been more on one side than on the other ; but I
file MY consider that no faction whatever can possibly injure
tha_°°lltrY with. such a House of Commons as we have
v_present moment.
tiot kIENTLEma.N —Sir Francis, will you be kind enough
vote •
u,at all?
I w RaNCIS BURDETT.—I must take time to consider ; but
kinesuid rather lose the representation of the City of West-
letteter than my character and, at the time I received the
taltxtZihnaanltuedrn,. I did not eonsider the election would have

rasp--Perhaps, Sir Francis, as you will not vote
slsSir Charles Manners Sutton, you will not vote at all.
FsaANCIS BURDETT—I certainly shall not vote against
riviCharles Manners Sutton.
