BOROUGH OF EYE.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SPECTATOR.
Palgrave, 1st February 1832.
SIR-I thank you for having exposed the attempt to continue to the present patron of Eye the right of sending two members to Parliament, under pretence of being representatives of the People. Your suggestion relative to the Popula- tion Returns ought to be attended to. They are a base imposture-a vile Cheat, intended to delude the Ministers and impose on the Legislature. By whom this trick has been played, and how contrived, ought to be known. My belief is, that there has not been an increase in the population of Eye, within the last ten pears, of 5 per cent.-of 25 per cent. lens sure there is not. The point to which Ministers ought to direct their attention is this-Have not one or more of the Population Returns of this most rotten and corrupt borough been altere4? andyffso,by command of whom, and for what purpose?
Your obedient servant,
A SUFFOLK-FILZEHOLDE16
