- Song. Magna Charta( Book )
- The first hand-bill issued this morning is not the production of either of the four parties alluded to in the elegant publication signed "A Radical." : the author is a very different person, and is little suspected.

- To the worthy and independent electors of the city of Chichester.

- To the independent freeholders, of the city of Chichester and its vicinity. You have probably read a hand-bill circulated in your neighbourhood ...

- Remarks and hints. I am glad Sir Godfrey Webster's Committee have had the candour to state that great influence has been used to prevail on several of the electors to vote contrary to their wishes. Nothing can be more true by Observator( Book )
- Intended advertisement for the Brighton herald. Wanted immediately for the service of a gentleman who would be an M.P. the sum of 50£. to meet an acceptance due Saturday last, it having been given to one of the electors, it is highly necessary that it should be settled before the writ for the city is issued, fearing it may otherwise be construed into a case of bribery.

- Thanks to Mr. Curteis, Jun. Thanks to this immaculate babe of grace ... for having christened Sir Godfrey Vassall Webster ... the adopted child of Chichester and the beloved champion of Sussex, who has been already promised the votes of upwards of two thousand independent and unpaid freeholders.

To Sir G. Webster, Bart. Sir, after the distinct contradiction I gave to your assertion referred to in my former letter, I
confess I should have thought that good policy ... would have suggested to you the propriety of ascertaining the correctness
of your information from Mr. West himself, before you ventured to persevere in a statement which the very individual whom
you bring forward to corroborate it, pronounces to be "a gross fabrication of one of Sir Godfrey's party." by
