am led to entertain a sanguine hope of the election resulting
in my favour; but to those who may not yet have deter-

dence in the community, and my arduous services as Hono-
rary Physician to the Toxteth-park Cholera Hospital through
the whole of the pestilential epidemic of 1832, for their
favourable consideration in making the present appointment,

In the event of my election, I have to assure you that I
shall, with the utmost of my abilities, faithfully discharge
