Morning Chronicle 19 July 1819

From Lord Sidmouths letter Whitehall July 7 1819 to the Lord Lieutt of
the County of Chester. "Similar Letters have been sent to Lancashire, the
west riding of Yorkshire, and Warwickshire.

My Lord, – The numerous Public Meetings that have lately taken
place at Stockport and adjacent parts of Lancashire, their manifest
purpose, and the language which has been held at them,
have engaged the attention of his Majesty's Government. Your
Lordship's presence, under these circumstances, in the County of
which your Lordship has the charge, can not but be highly
desirable and important; in order that, under your Lordship's
authority, the most prompt and effectual means may be adopted
for the preservation of the peace of the County of Chester.
The utmost vigilance and activity on the part of the Magistrates,
in these districts to which I have referred, is indispensably
and urgently necessary, to maintain and enforce, if requisite,
obedience to the laws, and to bring to justice those
offenders by whom they may be violated. For these purposes
it is earnestly hoped that the power of the Civil Authorities
will be fully sufficient; but, as a measure of precaution,
your Lordship is desired to give immediate direction
to the several Corps of Yeomanry Cavalry in the County of Chester
to hold themselves in readiness to attend to any calls for support
and assistance, which, in case of necessity, they may receive
from the Magistrates; and the utmost confidence is justly
placed in the zeal and promptitude with which, under such
circumstances, the call will be observed. I have the honor to be &c. (Signed) – Sidmouth
