British subjects than One Million Five Hundred Thousand peti-
tioned for 'Reform. Now let it be observed, that if each of these
persons had contributed the sum of One Shilling only, there would
have been no lees a sum than 75,000% accumulated, a sum abun-
dantly sufficient to indemnify all those who were persecuted at that
period and to defray all other expences.
Secondly_That the proposed Association may be rendered
equally available fur the management of all other Petitions for the
redress of public grievances; such for example, as excessive or
undue Tusution,expensive, uncertain, and vexatious Jurisprudence,
&c. &c.
