To the Editor of "THE CARLISLE JOURNAL." 

 

SIR,-In addition to the information you received last week, respecting Mr. KELLET, I am authorized to state, by Gentlemen of the
first respectability, who were present at the time of his being impilloried, that he was received by the populace with every mark of
respect and esteem, and not one of the whole signified the least enmity towards him. On the contrary many Gentlemen came forward and
offered him refreshment, of which, however, he partook but little. Several also in the most disinterested and handsome manner
presented him with money. A heavy shower of rain coming on at the time, a Gentleman very politely held up an umbrella over his head
to screen him from the effects of it; whilst his friends, who knew his former conduct, expressed their disapprobation of his
punishment, and vied with each other in endeavouring to shew him the utmost kindness. Mr. KELLET, during his residence in the town
and neighbourhood of Penrith, was universally respected; and the treatment he has experienced will be the best criterion of the
estimation in which he is held, not only by his more immediate friends, but by the public at large. 

 

                                                                       I am, Sir, your's, &c. 

                                                                                             AN EYE WITNESS.
