On Wednefday a meeting of the Friends of Mr.
Met IMAIL lIICI was Lehi at the Crown and Anchor.—
It e,nfißed of between tgo and 2CO Freeholders.
HENRY TUOR NTOW, Ely. M. P. being called to the
Chair, be began his Add' efs by alluding to what had
piked at the antecedent fileenrg, in which he had cite
dear.oured as plainly and fairly a. poffible to relate
the billory of the two Middlefe: Elations up to that
period. He bad then Rated the grounds which bad
'at that time appeared fir loppofing the fame 011:m
of perjury which the Houle ~t Commons had declared
to prevail at the Sr II elcAion, to have prevail:d alfo at
the fecund, thorlyis restrained in frrne degree by the
lei Sheriffs of hAddletit, arid by the Olive exertioas of
the friends of Mr. Mainwar ing, to prevent falfe votes
from being admitted on the poll, exertions, indeed, of
which Sir Francis Bordett's parry had vehemently
complained. Since lila 'ail meeting at the Freema-
foa's Tavern, in perfhanci of the general intention
then expreflid, Alit 0 billsof indienieptbad been (mind
againit voters for Sir Francis Burdett, two of which
b.lls bad been tried, sod in each cafe a con. Sion
had taken place. Mr. Thornton then proceeded
briefly to explain the general nature of each of there
cafes which had been brought to trial; and comment-
ed very ably on the evidence of the fel, that a molt
extenfive fylient of Perjury was praaifed at the !aft
Elation in favour of Sir Francis Burdett. He called
'iron the Fieeholders, and upon all who valued the
Conilitutlin. to contribute, by a joint effort. to fur-
peels that fytterti ; oblerving, that tithe public morals
were not maintained. it was in vain to talk of liberty.
Mr. Ms:44st+ then coved *aural refolution.,
ninth were Item:dad by
Mr. Bows's, who obferved, that the evidence up-
on the trials of Price and Creek fully proved that a
waft wenfive and complicated fyllem of perjury ex.
riled at the lull eleAinn. He called upon the Free-
, holders to follow up the advantages they had gained,
and inflead of flopping with the punithment of the
low and deluded wretches who had been infligated
I and fubnined to commit perjury, to bring to justice
thole who had infligated- and fuborned them. Mr.
li. denied that the caufe was local or partial;—and
contended, that every County in the United Kingdom
was as deeply in:netted in it as Middlcfex, arid all
the inhabitants of the Kingdom as the Freehcldcrs of
the latter County. He laid that bribery had lung
been pally deemed a mortal fin againfl the Confli-
(bunion ; but that at the two left Eletlions for Via.
dlefex, perjury h..d stalked hand in hand with bribe.
ry ; and lie iibferved that if perjury were fuffetcd ter
become familiar, the laws would fere their proteeirr:
fnice, and no man's life or property would be lA.
Mr. Bs NN 67 having ft:netted that the privecutti no
ought to be taken up by t!,e Attorney Genera!, M .
llows.ss laid, that they WI old be attended in hi• opi-
nion tairli more effect if they rcfulted from the (brut
of the county, which he confidered as bound to
vindicate its own rights. Much had been laid of the
outraged rights of the Freeholders of Mlddlefez:
the late trials p:nved, that thole rights had, indeed.
been grofsly outraged; but this had Leen done by
