" DEAR SIR,
dined yesterday with three of the Ju-
rymen OF the Blackburn Hundred, who have
been summoned to Maidstone to the trial of
O'Connor and Co. and it is not a little sincu-
lar, that not one yeoman of this district
should have been summoned to an Assize
for this county, nor to any of the quarter
sessions Excepting the midsummer for more
than fifty years. These three men were
wealthy yeomen, and partiZans of the High
Court Party Now this IS as it ought to be-
and as they are good farmers and much in
my interest, to be sure I eXerted all my elo-
Quence to convince them how absolutely ne
ceSsary 1t is, at the present moment, for
the security OF the realm, that the Felons
should swing. ! represented to them, that
the acquittal ct Hardy and Co. laid the foun-

chester, London Corresponding, &c. &C. I
urged him by all POSSIBLE means in my ho7v-

to others that had the others have suffer

to light, would have been necessarily crush

arguments, / pressed, 7vith a 1ic4v that

man committed to goal never offers bribe

much upon their senses, that if any one of the
