(7) Charlemont treachery
Date of Committee's letter 19th July 1782. Its Further
meeting announced for 20th August — 8th September the day for
the meeting at large — request that before the 20th of
August Lord Charlemont would give "point out a specific
"mode of reform, and the most eligible me steps leading to
"it: and say whether "Volunteers ought to interfere" in favour
of shortening the duration of Parliament's extension of pensioners,
"boosting the number of placemen, and a tax on
"absentees: or any of those." measures and "favour" them
with a set of "resolutions. . . " to be proposed at Dungannon
What these men did not consider, Lord Charlemont
certainly did consider, namely that it eventually his condition might not be altogether
safe if in black and white there were no answers under his hand
under as in terms as explicit as were those of the application
thus made to him. Answer accordingly — On none of
the points any thing to be done except parliamentary reform: and
on that nothing to be said about "the mode" and the mode (says he) is to be left
entirely to the mature deliberation of your Parliament." of
such a Parliament! and these few drops of meaning drowned
in a bucketful of words
