As Ihave represented Boroughs situate in your County for Inore than 16 years—I feel tbat:in forming a judg- tnent of any claim to your confidence, you will be Suided more by the Experience of the Past than any declaration I could make respecting the Future. It is impossible within the limits of an address to Jefer to the many subjects which must occupy the at- tention of the next Parliament; One of the First Questions will rrobably be that of the Established Protastant Church in Ireland.

I remain, Gentlemen, Your faithful and obedient Servant, J. H. SCOURFIELD. Williatnston, August 1st, 1868.
