THE HOUSE OF COMMONS AS AT PRESENT CONSTITUTED.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE MORNING ADVERTISER,

Sir, —As Lord John Russell is not unlikely to favour the people of England with another Reform Bill, I have looked into the representation, and the accompanying paper, which I have the honour submit to you, is the result of my inquiries. You will at once perceive that the present state of the representation presents strange inequalities. Be so good, therefore, as to give the facts in your widely circulated journal, and you will have done right good service to your country, and oblige,

Your most obedient servant,
WILLIAM GEESIN.
