Copy of a circular letter te the 
lieutenants of counties on the sea 
coast, dated Whitehall, Novem- 
ber 5, 1796. 
My Lord, 
As it would materially add to the 
difficulties which already oppose 
themselves to any attempts, which 
it is possible the enemy may be 
' induced to make upon our coast, 
if the live and dead stock of indi- 
viduals residing near the sea-coast 
was capable of being instantly re- 
moved and secured, for the benefit 
of the proprietors, I am command- 
{93 
ed to recommend it to your lord« 
ship to exert your influence in 
causing to be made out, as speedily 
as possible, an account of live and 
dead stock, in such of the parishes 
of the county of Sussex as are with- 
in ten or twelve miles of the sea. 
With respect to the mode of mak- 
ing out the account required, I 
take this opportunity of transmit 
ting to your lordship the form in 
which it has been executed by the 
voluntary exertions of the gentle- 
men of the county of Dorset; and 
shall beg to submit it for your 
lordship’s consideration and adop- 
tion, ualess where it may be found 
necessary to deviate from it, in 
consequence of local circumstances 
and situations. 
With respeét to the mode in 
which it is proposed to remove 
such live and dead stock, in case 
it should be necessary, your lord~ 
ship will communicate with the 
commander in chief of the district 
in which the county of Sussex lies, 
and will concert with him such 
previous measures for this purpose 
as may he judged requisite. 
The meeting which I have desir- 
ed your lordship to call on the 
subject of my circular letter of this 
day’s date, will afford you an ope 
portunity of submitting this letter 
to the consideration of the deputy- 
lieutenants and the magistracy of 
the county of Sussex, and will 
consequently lead to the immediate 
adoption of such measures as shall 
be necessary to enable the return 
to be made, which | am persuaded 
your lordship will be of opinion is 
so much to be wished for. 
I am further to inform your 
lordship, that the lords commis- 
sioners of the.treasury have receiy- 
ed his majesty’s pleasure, that they 
should
