Edward Jeffries to 

Provincial Chairmen 

January 1790

fol. 65.  A printed letter from Jeffries in London to the various district chairmen concerning the status of the repeal [same one cited above] and a report of the activities of the London committee, 13 and 16 January 1790, noting their support of the union of the Dissenters in the country and a general body to meet in London. 

 

Attached to these letters is (as before) a list of those who voted in favour of repeal in 1787 and 1789.  Wilberforce is on neither list.  In a note Jeffries adds, “The Absence of those Members, whose Names occur in the first List, and not in the last, can in general be accounted for; and it is not known that more than one Member, who voted in Favour of the Repeal on the first Motion, voted against it on the second.”
