| Title | Lord St. Helens to Sir Henry FitzHerbert: his friend, Lord Exeter, is assailled in the newspapers for evicting 50 tenants who voted against his interest in the election; "if persons of rank and property were excluded from their due share of influence in elections of M.P.'s, the H. of Commons would soon be filled with a sett of unprincipled adventures, and the far-famed British constitution converted into a democracy. A pretty story indeed!" 5 October |
