T1  - Sir,it having been my Intention to present a Petition to the Court of Common-Council, holden this Day: the prayer of which went to request a suspension of the twenty-fifth standing order of the court; by which I was precluded from becoming a candidate for any place of emolument, in the gift of the said court, while I continued a member thereof. Although I have ever thought the Intention of that Order was not meant to go the Length of precluding Persons so peculiarly situated as I was at the Time that Order was made. Yet, with all due Respect to the Orders of the Court, to which I have always submitted, upon mature Consideration, together with the Advice of many respectable Friends, I relinquished presenting the said Petition, trusting that upon some future Opportunity, when duly qualified, I shall meet with the Support of those, who on the present Occasion have generously interested themselves in my Behalf, as well as of many others who had previously engaged their Votes. I have the Honour to be, Sir, With the greatest Respect, Your most faithful and obedient Servant, William Anderson. Gracechurch-Street, Nov. 22, 1799.
