POLICE ACT 1827
BOOTH-GREY
(George Harry, 1765-1845, 6th Earl of Stamford and 2nd Earl of Warrington, Peer and Parliamentarian)
Autograph letter to his solicitors Messrs Hadfield & Grave
concerning a "Resolution proposed at a Town's Meeting at Ashton under Lyne respecting the proposed Police Bill. I regret exceedingly there should still be a difference of opinion amongst the Inhabitants, as to the expediency of a Police Act, & the establishment of a Regular Market. My sentiments on this matter are well known, that it cannot be supposed I shall at any time countenance a measure of this nature, were I not well satisfied it would ultimately greatly conduce to the advantage of the Town, and to the Safety and Comfort of the Inhabitants. These being the general objects of the Bill, it has my support, and I still entertain a hope that the opposers of the measure, in considering the Public Good will see reason to withdraw their intended opposition ...", 2 sides 4to., Enville Hall, 6th March
