In the service of those who have twice returned me as their member at a. nominal cost to myself, and once even without a personal canvass, J should be prepared to make more than an ordinary sacrifice; but to continne to . abandon Q gradually increasing practice dttiing four m6hths of the' year, would be, I am reluctant to admit, 10 inflict hTeparabJe^jury t> u^on those whom it is my duty "to project. • .;.., Whilst endeavoring to fulfil pledgest thrice made to you, I have doubtlesscommitted some mistakes, and I.c&n'ri;oti4nft deplbije, thaVmy resignation will prevent me making reparation if or the errors, of the past. .In saying c 4 &rewefii, I must once more thank you for 1 the many a^.ol.kindnessshft^ria'bome during a long acquaintance with you ; an4 although, for. some time. to come at all events, I may not he able to» plead your cause in r ?arli^nent,. you' may be assured that outside its walls my humble .efforts will be, exercised, in the advancement of your interests. • Yourls ev,pr truly, THOMAS' S.
