1 July 1841. Carlisle |
| My Dear Sir Charles Napier |
| The quiet of this part of your District in the past month was undisturbed
until the excitement produced by the expectation of a General Election.
During the canvassing for the Borough the Candidates were insulted
and pelted, & on the day of nomination a riot took place, which
however was confined principally to breaking windows in the two Inns
in which the Candidates were lodged. |
| At an earlier period, 3, or 4 of the police were beaten, one of
whom has died of the injury received. Eventually the Troops being
required by the Magistrates, marched into the town, when the crowd
dispersed. |
I am My Dear Sir Charles Napier |
Very Truly Yours |
