THE following is a verbatim copy of a letter written by the 

 first Duke of Devonshire to John Bagshaw, the High 

 Sheriff of Derbyshire : — 



"Whitehall, May y e 30th, 1696. 

 " Sir, — I return you thanks for the account you sent me of the 

 extraordinary concourse of poor people mett together on Tiddes- 

 wall Common occasioned by the non currency of their money, 

 and will acquaint the Lords Justices and the Councell with your 

 care and diligence herein. The best method I can think of to 

 satisfye them for y e present will be bread and other necessaries 

 untill such time as new money can be sent down, which I will 

 cause to be done as it can be gott. In the meantime as y r most 

 effectual means to draw down money into the countrey, I desire 

 you to give notice to the gentlemen and others who have guineas 

 in their possession that they will send them up hither. I will 

 engage to procure them new money in exchange. If this be 

 done speedily I hope it will prove a remedy sufficient to prevent 

 the like assemblys for the future. 



" I am, Sir, 



" Y r humble servant, 



" Devonshire."
