He has asked the Dean of Chichester to question the Conservative candidate for E. Sussex. He has very little doubt that he will do it because his plan is a bishop to each county. He is prepared to get up as many petitions as he can. He will look at the article in The Morning Post mentioned by his lordship. They must fight for the Church at the next election. He was unable owing to illness to go to the consecration of St Saviours at Leeds but he hears that it went off very well.

He encloses some petitions which he begs his lordship will present to the House of Commons. He has a great many more which he has sent to different members. It is much better to present them separately than all together because it makes much more show in the papers, which is of great importance. He is also sending several to the Lords, which he hopes Lord Powis will present. The one from Malling is the most respectably signed petition he ever saw from that neighbourhood. Every signature is that of a person who understood the petition. So also with all the others, for they did not ask labourers to sign. His lordship will see how numerously the clergy have signed. They are all very unanimous about Maidstone, and very good Catholics.

He sees by the reports of the House of Lords that Lord Powis has introduced a fresh Bill and that the second reading is fixed for next Thursday. He had thought that it had been fixed for Tuesday. Thursday is Ascension Day and he does not believe that the House sits on that day. He desires to know, therefore, what day is really fixed. He has several petitions for Lord Powis and his lordship.

He desires a pair for the St Asaph Bill on Wednesday next as it is rather a long journey to London. He will, however, if necessary, hold himself in readiness to come up.
