Description

Unique IDA-00505378SeriesLetters Sent by the Mayor, 1843-1848Date18th June 1843Date qualifierexactFormatVolume - HardcoverDescriptionLetter number 26: Letter from John Hosking (Mayor, Office of the Mayor) to W A Miles (Commissioner of Police): I have received an Official Communication from Messrs Wentworth and Bland alluding to the Riots which took place, on 13th and 15th Instant, and stating their intention to dispense with the usual practice of being chaired through the City. Having expressed their desire to attend at the Hustings tomorrow, when I officially announce the names of the successful Candidates, in order to return thanks to their constitiuents, they request a distinct pledge that a sufficient Constabulary be in attendance, to prevent any breach of the peace or attempt of violation towards the Citizens. I therefore deem it expedient to request that you take the most efficient means to guard against the probability of outrage, by having such force ready prepared upon the spot to prevent it. I further request that you will communicate to me, as early as possible, that such arrangements have been made..LanguageEnglish (eng)Digitised recordYesBorn digital itemNo
