Collectanea. Parl. Reform &c. Prince Regents Answer to Comm. Councils Address
on the Manchester Massacre. 17 Sept. 1819.
Morning chron. Septr. 18 – Extract from
"I receive with feelings of deep regret this Address and petition
"of the Lord Mayor, Aldermen, and Commons of the City of
"London, in common council assembled.
"At a time when ill designing and turbulent men are actively
"engaged in inflaming the minds of their fellow subjects,
"and endeavouring, by means the most daring and insidious,
"to alienate them from their allegiance to his Majesty and the
"Established Constitution of the Realm, it is on the vigilance
"and conduct of the Magistrates that the preservation of the
"public tranquillity must in a great degree depend – and
"a firm, faithful, and active discharge of their duty can
"not but give them the strongest claim to the support and
"approbation of their Sovereign and their Country. –
With the circumstances which preceded the late Meeting
at Manchester, you must be unacquainted, and of those
"which attended it your appear to have been incorrectly
"informed.
"If, however, the laws were really violated on that occasion
"by those to whom it immediately belonged to assist
in the execution of them, the tribunals of this Country
"are open to afford redress; but to Institute an extra judicial
"inquiry, under such circumstances as the present,
"would be manifestly inconsistent with the clearest principles
"of public justice.
