Thurs. 26 Oct. 1780 The Sheriffs of the City and County of Londonderry waited on Mr. CONOLLY with the following address.
To the Right Honourable Thomas CONOLLY, one of the Representatives in Parliament for the County of Londonderry. Sir; With the utmost contempt we have lately read several scandalous publications, reflecting in particular on your conduct in Parliament, inserted with a view to create a disturbance and dissention among his Majesty’s good and loyal subjects of this kingdom. We, whose names are hereunto subscribed, resident in the city and liberties Londonderry, think it a duty which we owe to you and to ourselves, thus to declare our entire disapprobation of such scandalous and unfair proceedings and to assure you that we retain a grateful sense of the support given by you in Parliament, for the extention of our trade and prosperity of this kingdom. We have the honour to subscribe ourselves, your obliged and humble servants. Tho. LECKY, Mayor Eneas MURRAY sheriff Mossom BOYD sheriff Robert HOLLAND Steph. BENNET John SHANNON Josh.
