Sus- sex Petition Protesters Compared By County Committee
The Sussex committee issues a careful comparison of Petitioners and Protesters over the Lewes meeting of January 1730. It defends peaceful petitioning for economy, criticizes protest publication, notes two thousand eight hundred seventy five signers, and records motions praising Lord Shelburne and Burke while urging parliamentary reform through lawful means.

Bills to unite Wales Chester Lancaster Cornwall to crown
A public notice from 1780 outlines bills to unite Wales and Chester, Lancaster and Cornwall duchies to the crown, abolish offices, confirm tenant rights, and sell lands to fund public services. A meeting of county gentry is urged to discuss Parliament petitions and prudent measures amid national affairs. The High Sheriff reportedly refused a county meeting, prompting signatures of local notables calling for action. The document ends with a call for a mass gathering at Mest Hall, Mansfield on February 16, 1780.
