Printed address to the 'Inhabitants, Householders, Resciant in ... Pontefract', in which William Sotheron makes a 'public Declaration' of his 'fixed Intention, to offer myself as one of Your Representatives in Parliament on the next Vacancy', 'whenever such an Event shall happen'. Sotheron also aligns himself with current Pontefract MP, John Smyth, recently elected on petition, and with the decision of the Commons committee that considered the petition to place the right of election in inhabitant householders.
