course of last week, at which the details of the Bill
were *discussed, f.•r the porpoie of considering how far
it waspracticable to modify say of the clauses. so as to
obviate sone of the objeetions which have been urged

ANSWER OF SIR FRANCIS BURDETT TO THE MANCHESTER

A DIMES+.
King's Bench Prison, April 6th, IS2I. !
liev!rt FMEN-1 feel highly gratified by the mark of
your regard which you have been pleased to present to
me. Your testimony, and that of other of my disinter-
ested fellow-countrymen will, I am sure, speak owe for
use thvn the ex-otiicio insinuations of an Attorney-
General eau ever speak against Inc. I have always been
aillsii to be ttied by my fellow-countrymen; to Oleos
throuels a long! public lite, I have uniformly appealed ; if
they appro%e, the loss of liberty, dear as libertr is to me,
is not unaccompanied with consolation; without their
approval, and without the consciousness of rectitude nei-
ther liberty nor life has any charms for me.
tieutlemen—The first efforts which I shall make after
leaving these walls, will be for an enquiry into lino met-
raw, which filled your town with mourning, and all
England with imlignation. To dater you with a pros-
pect that that effsrt will be successful, would bee
neither my sincerity nor your understanding. You
know the place where, and the persons to whom that
Appeal is to be made. But the speAing of truths is
never altogether unproductive of effect. Corruption may
defer, hut cannot entirely ward off that blow, which one
day or the other will avenge the wrongs, the ulastifuld,
the multiplied wrongs of an injured nation.
In the meantime, Gentlemen, let us do our duty—let
us conciliate all the friends of virtue and liberty, and let
us t.ttse care that the enemies of virtue an 4 liberty rain
no adv.ititage over us, either by our untimely enthusiasm,
ur by what is usuch worse, our indifference or despair.
I am, Uentlemen,
Your obedient Lutrible servant,
(Signed) FRANCIS OVADIETT.

circumstances attending the vacancy occasioned by the
death of the Rev. Mr. Barry, one of the brothers of
St. Katherine's lloapi al. It became Sir, Herbert
