numbers of others of the /Yel/b townfhips, in the paflage of the 
mail-coach, that poffibly they do not receive a letter in a year; 
yet thefe townfhips muft fuffer equally with the moft opulent and 
commercial towns, Many of the roads were unexceptionably 
repaired; the reft were in fufficient repair for the ufes of the 
farmer, for the ufes of the gentlemen’s carriages, and for the 
ufes of the mail, before the late unguarded innovations. We 
are, like the //rcelites, required to make brick without ftraw. 
The means- of repair are taken from us, and we are fined for 
not performing impoffibilities. A poft-road is a national con- 
cern; that to a neighboring kingdom doubly fo: and certainly 
that confideration fhould induce legiflature to afford an aid in 
fuch cafes in which it is found neceffary; and if a road muft be 
finifhed with finical perfeCtion, the expence ought never to fall 
on thofe who are totally uninterefted in it. Juftice can never 
require that the poor fhould keep pace with the innovations 
made for the benefit of commerce or luxury. Much of the 
road-laws calls loudly for a reform: in all laws there fhould 
be a point of limitation. The attention of the grand juries 
is requefted at the enfuing affizes. It is hoped that they will 
dire@ their reprefentatives to make the mail-coaches liable to 
tolls. We mean no injury to Mr. Palmer: \et him, before 
the meeting of parlement, fuggeft any remedy for the evil, 
and we fhall reft content. They will certainly do away the 
great parlementary opprobrium of the act paffed by their pre- 
deceffors; which leffens a fecurity granted on the faith of par- 
lement. And much more may be faid on this fubject; but 
the detail is referyed for another occafion; you may be again 
troubled
