O
THE BOROUGH OF
IDHURST.

HousE OF COMMONS, Thursday, Feb. 24,1859.
GENTLEMEN,—It is with very great regret
that I announce to you my being about immediately
to cease representing you in the House of Commons. The
circumstances under which I quit that great assembly I have
felt it necessary to explain in my place there ; to the satisfac-
tion, I trust, of the House, and yourselves. I hope I have done
nothing to make you regret my connexion with you, which
has now lasted for three years. During that period I have
been unremitting in my attendance in that house, have
taken part in many important debates, and maintained, I
trust, uniformly, the character of an honest independent
member ; giving an uncompromising support to the poli-
tical principles I have maintained through life, and
redeeming every pledge I gave you, on your placing me
in the high position of your representative. Your un-
varying kindness and confidence are engraved on my
heart. I shall ever be proud of my connexion with
your ancient borough, which has returned members to
Parliament for nearly six centuries, numbering among them
many eminent persons, among whom were Charles James Fox,
and my distinguished immediate predecessor and friend Mr.
Walpole, the present Home Secretary.
Gentlemen, I consider the existence of such a borough
as yours to be of great constitutional importance in
many ways, as I should have strenuously striven to show
the House, had I continued a member of, it during
the momentous discussions which seem impending. I
am totally in the dark as to everything connected
with the announced Reform Bill ; but it would occasion
me profound ooneern to find your existence, as a Parlia-
mentary borough in any way menaced. Your present
form was imposed upon you in the great constitutional set-
tlement of 1832, when you were deprived of one of the two mem-
bers whom you had returned since the earliest years of
Edward 11., while the franchise was restricted to the Ten
Pound occupiers, and greatly increased vitality infused by
incorporating no fewer than nineteen extensive parishes.
I cannot persuade myself that the political existence of a
borough so constituted will be now extinguished. How-
ever this may be, suffer me to express my grateful sense
of your personal kindness to me, especially during my
canvass on the two occasions on which you have returned me
to Parliament, my hope that y'ou are satisfied with my con-
duct, and my fervent wishes for your prosperity, collectively
and individually.—Believe me, Gentlemen, with feelings of
very deep'regret at parting with you, ever your grateful and
faithful friend and servant,
SAMUEL WARREN.
