MR. 1-11.7 N T'S ANS%VsER.

Middleton Cottage, Jan. 11. Ikl9. •
rt,-,-.Altbough my absence from home at this tilitte' Win be
attended with considerable in'...onvenicnce to myself per-
sonally, yet I feel now, as 1 ever hare, and as I trust I always
shall, that no. private consideration {night to prevail, when
pitt in e”itipetition with a great public dots'.
Although I should feel.great reluctance at being even pre-
sent, where a petition was 'Again 3grCed to by the people to
be presented to a corrupt and packed assembly, impudently
and falsely deriontina•ed the House. of Commons; yet wY
great anxiety to assist my fellow-countrymen, by every means
in my power, to ptocure the repeal of that infamous starva
tion-law, commonly called the Cornliill, will induce the to
waive this objection.
And although I perceive it is the intention of the Com-
mittee to discuss the propriety of petitioning' the present
House of Commons—a House in no respect differently eon-
Whited front the last, which treated the prayers and peti-
tions of the people with contempt and derision,—a House
constituted of the same materials, with the exception of some
half score of its Members being added to the number of the
worst faction, the Whigs, who are by far the greatest enemies
of real reform and the liberties of the, people ; yet the irre-
sistible impulse to become better acquainted with the bravest
of the brave Reformers, the Men.of Lancasbit e, impels me to
say, that I accept with pleasure the invitation of the Com-
mittee, and, with the blessing of Providence, I will not fail
to do myself the honour to attend the Meeting and Dinner at '
Manchester, on Monday, the I sth inst.
" t amiSir, your obedient humble servant,
HENRY HUNT.

P. S. I will endeavour to-reach Stockport on Sunday night,
and proceed to the Meeting in the morning.
To Mr. Nicholas Whitworth, Manchester.
