THE MAYOR'S ANSWER.

Leicester, Oct. 29, 1619•

GENTLEMEN-1 have to acknowledge the receipt of a Re-
quisition presented to me, last Night, •' requesting me to
take an early opportunity of convening a Meeting of the
Town at large, for the purpose of taking, into consideration
the events which have recently occurred at Manchester, and
the propriety of Addressing his Royal Highness the Prince
Regent. thereon."
Under existing circumstances, it is an obvious duty, on my
part, to decline a compliance with this request; but I should
ill discharge my duty towards yourselves, if I were to conclude
my Answer with that. communication.
You will readilybelieve, that to persons in official situations
sources of information are open, which may not be known
to others ; and from these sources it happens to myself, and
my Brother Magistrates, to know, that large bodies of People,
not only in Leicester, but from other places, are preparing to at-
tend the Meeting which you project,with inflammatory banners,
Caps of Liberty, and other Revolutionary Emblems; and that
such offensive Ensigns will be accompanied by Persons armed
to protect them.—You wme re isw.stle, that these Proceed-
ings will give to the Meeting the character of an ILLEGAL
ASSEMBLY ; and that consequences mAY ensue, which
all would deeply deplore t—and although, there is not,
as we know, 'the slightest communion • of Sentiment,
or Object, between yourselves and the Parties alluded to,
yet, at .a Meeting so composed, -your proceedings must
necessarily be identified, and may be wholly out of your
own controul. It is thought fit that these Considerations
should be presented to the minds of the Gentlemen who have
joined in the Requisition, that they may estimate the Respon-
sibility which they incur; and it 'will then remain for my
Brother Magistrates, and myself, to Act as the occasion may

require.
I am, Gentlemen,
Your Humble Servant,
ROBERT JOHNSON, Mayor.
To Doctor Alexander, Messrs. Brewin, and the other
Gentlemen who signed the Requisition.
