TO THE INDEPENDENT LIVERY OF LONDON.

GENTLEMEN,
THE intelligence of the sudden and lamented
death of Sir William Heygate, late Chamberlain of your
ancient City, has created a vacancy iu that office. I hasten to an-
nounce to y,:u my intension of becoming a Candidate for your suf-
frages.

fregret that the time fixed for the election Is too short to allow
me to commence a personal canvass, but I trust the zeal and energy
of my friends will induce them to rally round me, and supply my
deficiency in that respect.
For thirty years I have been a Liveryman. I was elected an
Alderman in 1823, I filled the Office of Sheriff, and by your kind and
distinguished favour I was twice elected and served for two years as
Lord Mayor. . .

My ancestors were all citizens, although it is stated that my
honourable opponent, Alderman Brown, is my senior, yet he was
only elected Alderman about twenty-one mouths prior to myself. We
served together the office of Sheriff.
I will not allude to past services rendered to your City, or to the Li-
very arid people at large, farther than to express my belief that the
Livery are too generous to forget them. I feel assured they will not fall
to reward those who have, at great personal sacrifice, endeavoured to
promote, to the best of their humble ability, the interests of the City,
and to advance and establish those great principles which aro
essentially necessary to the enjoyment of personal, commercial, poli-
tical, and religious freedom.
I have the honour to be, Gentlemen,
Your most obedient servant,
JOHN KEY.
