Lord Sandwich was the only member oscillier house that bad been infulted wheti this paper went to press he was stopped near palacc-yaro very much Ipelttd, and at last obliged to take snelter in the parliament coffee-house, from whence he waseseorted by a jparty of the guards to his wn house, the mob not suirering bim to go to the house of Loids.

He recapitulaied fhortly the arguments which he lud uscd, and came to that part of hit Ipecch whcre he said burgagc tenurt ought to be aboliflted. The noble Duke came to the aigument for an nual parliament, and after sltewing in the musl difliotct mattner, that they were the ancient right of the people, he answercd all the objectiont that had been raised against them.

The clear and jull repiesentation of a fr people, was a representation; and thi the ancient right of Bri-tons, until in the reign of Edward III. it redueed and confined to property. The number of men in England between the ag of 1 and jtf has been calculated by Dr Price to be about a fifth of the whole, that is about 5,000 men. Instead, how-ever, Of thi, those who were iutitled to vote for represen-tative were no more than 1,4,000, of which about voted for the Borough membert, and lent a majority to pat-liament.
