2 Mar 1820

From: 1820 To: 1820

Thanks for tracts on 'Jack Steady'. 'We really may hope that ... the late discovery of this horrible plot may have the effect of opening the eyes of those who are yet incredulous as to the temper of these bad times.' Writer was surprised the see that Parliament was dissolved - did not expect this event would have taken place at such a moment and considers it as proof that immediate danger has subsided. [Reference to The Cato Street Conspiracy - an attempt to murder all the British cabinet ministers and Prime Minister Lord Liverpool] Mr Beauchamp's dispensation is only to allow him to remain on his curacy, and not live at the Living that Lord St.German gave him. Mary Anne Yorke is now at Bury, and going to a ball with Mary Agnes Waddington.
