3. The City of London. The term is within the memory
of not a few – of myself among the rest – when – and in
the present "venerable" reign, the City was not indifferent to
violations – to supposed violations imputed but had at the
same time loudly disputed violations of the Magna Charta. Here
we see avowed ones.

Without a dissenting voice, we see the city, even in the a
City government, why even the aristocratical branch of it, going up
addressing itself to and without a dissenting voice, to the Upper House
of Parliament, as well as the lower, including in one demand calling at once for retrenchment
of profusion, and the diminution of sinister influence.
Alas, what is the utmost pittance greatest mass of public money that can be
thus saved, in comparison of justice! and to what purpose so bad
can the most sinister influence be applied, a that of perpetrating
the violation of Magna Charta in the most vital parts of its
frame!

for securing the performance of just obligation now to so high
a value as £10, the City has is by the mouth hand of its Representatives
in Parliament, manifesting at this moment its their desire – no benefit
to content themselves itself with inaccessible, but to receive accessible
justice. May success crown their such generous exertions? But in
all England not to speak of sister kingdoms, in all England,
is the metropolis London alone worthy of their care? Is London alone worthy
to be the seat of real, genuine, substantial, efficient justice? – of any
thing better than oppression and extortion, in pretence of justice?
