To the Free Citizens, Freeholders, and
Inhabitants of the City and Liberties
of Limerick.
Gentlemen,
According to my promise of the 3d of Dec. you
have herewith as correct a list of the Common
Council of this City, as I could make out, as also the
substance of their Oath; I know it would be a gratifiacation,
to point your attention, to those particularly,
who take on themselves to Rule and Govern you,
but this is out of my power, as you all know, I never
had, nor never will (but by force) recourse
to the Council Books; were I to form an opinion as
to the acting Board, it would fall on those who reside
— of this you can satisfy yourselves; let me promise
as it was no easy matter, to procure this list, if I have
committed an error, I shall thank the generous
hand that corrects me, as I would rather be detected
in a thousand well intended mistakes, than any one of
them should be found intentionally criminal.
Believe me,
Most Sincerely,
John TUTHILL.
St Thomas's Island, March 14, 1817.
