S V 1.1 somsßiEr COUNTY MEETING. AGRICULTURAL DISTRESS. A Meeting of the Inhabitants of the county of Spmerset was held in the toens of Wells, on Tuesday, tive2lst instant, to rake into consideration the pro priety of petitioning TarlianAcilt,On the eialsjett OCOle existing unparalleled Agricultural Distress, ISif Tsrost 4 s.Lertspetpor, -Mr...D.icapiiskoss, ;psi ss num ber of considerable perons *ere ptesent. Air. Huai, who had previously asidressedn- letter to the inha . bitants of.the county, arrived in a post-chaise about 0 },v4 1 1: o'slot and,knon after twelve, about 4 persons being assembled in front of some buildings . etv.rAed before the Town IIaYI. tie Rion Sn Sniff (-Vincent Stuckey, I:19) opehed the business of the The. Requisition was first read. It was signed by Sir THOMAS Lurusamos, and thirty Gentlemen acting as Magistrates for Somerset. • The Htott Surturr then addressed a few words to the assembly, upon the propriety oUtheir confining themselves as strictly as possible to ,the subject of Agricultural Distress: time would be saved, and unanimity promoted, by their so doing.. Mr. Ha NNING came forward, and said, that being one of those who had signed the Requisition,' he was desirous of stating some-of the reasons why he thought such a Meeting as the present necessary. It was with sorrow that he saw so numerous and respectable a Meeting coming forward to prove what was unde niable, that the distress of the Agriculturist was with out parallel, and beyond endurance, and that it con sequently demanded the interference of the Legis lature, to remove the causes from which so much evil had sprung. With this view it was that he pre- sented himself to their notice with a Petition, calling • upon the Parliament to undertake that interference. The first point to which he should address himself was that of Taxation ; and there was no one who heard him, but unfortunately knew the dreadful ex tent to which that evil had extended. It pressed upon the people with a weight too heavy to be borne, and a portion of that weight must be removed, or the yeomanry of the country, that class which had been in all times of public danger and emergency its strongest support, would be crushed beneath it. He did not look for relief to a return of high prices. It was unjust to claim that species of relief which would transfer their misery and deprivation to others. But he would say, that as the interests of all classes were held together by one common bond, so their burdens ought to be supported upon one common and im partial basis. Some portions of the community tilled the earth, and others were engaged in conducting and improving our manufactures; but as the benefits they conferred were reciprocal and general, so ought they, when either was distressed, to assist each other for their mutual benefit. The pressure of Taxation upon these classes was . unequal, and ought to undergo an adjustment appropriate to the character of the times. They could all recollect well when the Taxes of an estate were not one-fourth of their present amount; yet who would say that Taxes, pressing upon manu factures, had increased to that extent? It was for this reason that they should pray in their Petition mot to be taxed beyond their means, or beyond the pro. portion borne by the other parts of the community. The Hon. Gentleman also remarked upon the un equal pressure of the Poor Laws, and expense of the administration of Criminal Justice, but his voice was frequently inaudible. He concluded by reading, and then moving the followiag Petition : " TO THE HONOURABLE THE COMMONS HOUSE, &C. 'I The Bumble Petition of the Nobility, Clergy, Gentry, Free holders, &c. of the County of Somerset, Sheweth—That the Petitioners beg leave to represent to your Honourable house, that the distress under which the Agricultural Interest of the Empire has laboured since the ter mination of the war, has latterly increased to a degree so alarm ing as to threaten annihilation to that most important class of the community. And your Petitioners lament they are obliged to state, that the measures already adopted by your Honourable House, appear totally inadequate to afford the requisite relief. Your i' e titioners, therefore, pray your Ilonourable House will take their Case into your immediate and most serious considera tion : That you will be pleased to lighteir those burdens which mote immediately press on the Occupiers of Land; and in order to effect this, without injuring the public credit, that you will be pleased to order such a reduction in our establishments, both civil and military, as will bring the expenditure of the country within its reduced income. Your Petitioners beg also to press on the consideration of your Honourable House, the extreme injustice of the Poor Laws, the burdens of which, with a few exceptions, fall on those interested in the Land alone. To these your Petitioners beg leave to add the other Parochial and County Rates; the latter almost exclusively used for the pro. tection of personal property, when applied to deftay the expense of maintaining the gams, and the administration of the Criminal Justice of the kingdom. Your Petitioners, in addition, cannot refrain from stating their opinion, that a commutation of Tythes on a fair principle, would be a source of great happiness to the country at largo., and a great relief to the Landed Interest in particular. Your Petitioners cannot conclude this humble Peti tion, without assuring your Honourable House, that all they ask and pray for is to be placed in every respect on an equal footing with other classes of his Majesty's subjects, and that in justice they should only be compelled to contribute to the main tenance of the Poor, to the expense of the otlininistration of the Criminal Justice of the country, and to the support of our establishment in Church and State, in the same proportion. as is required by their fellow-subjects; and for this, the birth-right of every Englishman, they will ever pray." Mr. A. SM•ILIFORD, in seconding the Petition, de clared that it was with pain, shame, and indignation that he addressed such a populous and respectable Meeting of this County, assembled to discuss mea sures by which its once powerful and affluent yeo manry should be saved from pauperism —(('hearing). —lie could offer many arguments to shew why this Petition ought to be presented to the House of Com mons. But amongst the most convincing and innu merable, was the overgrown state of our establish ments. It was useless to enter into detailed proOf of that which was notorious, an he should therefore content himself with alluding to onc particular in stance of the profuse expenditure which was carried on. It was a fact, that our Ambassador to America received a higher salary than the President of the Go vernment of that costntry—(flear, hear).—He consi dered it a shame and a disgrace that persons holding similar situations should receive the same stipends now, when the prices of provisions were so low, as, they were allowed when wheat sold at a guinea per bushel. With regard to the army, it was necessarily increased by the immense length and the severity of the late war; and he was satisfied there was not one Englishman who heard hint that would wish that t h o se who, brought it to a victorious termination should not be.properly paid for their services-(,4p ),—.lint, he believed that great reduction might te made, with a due regard to that principle, and that madif might be saved by putty nf many who were•now on half-pay into active sera*: TheiHon.Gisnletunk darn alluded to the County Itattias.and• conteuded that they required the interference of the Legislature. In 1768 the County Rates amounted l tp 800/, and in 1818, fifty years afterwards, tlAY'•weie 21,8001. (Hear, heat).—He was readYto glow that there were many things now charged upon them which were not so formerlydaut no one cupid deny that this was an enormous increase; and it was certainly a point which deserved the attention of Parliament. The next subject was a commutation-of the tithes, and he thought no one present would differ with him .when he said it was extremely desirable that some, fair arrangement of that question ought to take place.. With regard to the subject of Reform, as he should have the honour of presenting a Requisition to the High Sheriff, desiring him to call a Meeting for the specific purpose of considering it, he hoped that the topic would be avoided upon the present occasion— (Loud cries of .4 Now, now, or we shall never have it!") —He would pledge his honour, as a Gentleman and an Englishman, that such a Meeting should take place in a few -days. Fitqrr then presented himself to the Meeting amidst considerable diming. lie commenced by reminding the Freeholders, that the very subjects of grievance and of redress, which had been now pro. posed to them by Mr. Harming and Mr. Sandford, he proposed to them in that place ten or eleven years ago. Mr. Sandford had said very justly, that it was with indignation and shame that he found himself obliged to tell them of these things, but he (Mr. Hunt) had told them, and warned them of these very grievances almost before Mr. Sandford was born—(Applause and laughter). One of the Gentle men had told them of the glory of the late iniquitous' war. Their glory, he believed, was once in their pockets, and the war had emptied them. He had heard with pleasure the Petition that was proposed to them, but he complained that it did not go far enough—(Hear)—it did not go to the root of the evil—(Applause). They were met to consider the causes of' the evil, and also of the best remedy to be applied for their eradication. He had heard with great surprise that the question of Reform was to be postponed to another occasion. Before they had time to meet again to consider of the great remedy, hundreds of them would be gone to the parish.— He was an Englishman as well as Mr. Moaning, and as well as any of theM, and it was certainly some consolation to him that he had been heard with so - much attention. It was manly and honest in them so to hear him. It had not alway.been so. He . re membered the time when the whole body of the Church met in the same place to hoot him down.. 11 1 he should state anything to the Meeting which was absurd, ridiculous, or unjust, they were capable of detecting him, and they were justified in treating hie propositions accordingly. Besides, there were plenty of Gentlemen present, men of talent and character, who were able, and he believed quite willing, to con tradict him if they could. That was the way 'in which lie desired to be met He only wished to speak the truth, and what lie had to say of the Ma gistrates present he would tay.te their faces, and let them disprove it .if they could. 4nd he must con ies: his stirprile at heating Mr. Hanhing, - himself a Magistrate, talk of the pressuie of the county rates. —(Laughter).--Mr. Nanning talked of unjust taxa tion, but he would tell him that there was no tax so unjust, so oppressive, so arbitrary, and pressing so unduly upon agriculture, as the existing mode of ad. ministering the county rates. It was quite true that they must have roads to carry their corn to market, and their manure to their lands; but their worthy Representatives had also taken good care that they should have plenty of Turnpikes l—(Louglaer).—Did the Meeting not know that an Act had been passed in the last Session, called the General Turnpike Act ? Did they know that by this Act a poor man's cart was made to pay more than the carriage of one of. these petty little tyrants (Loud cheers).—Where were their Representatives when this Act was passed ?. They were now present, and jet them answer for 'themselves. If they were in the House when it im posed this tax, then they betrayed their trust. If they were not in the House, why then they had neglected their duty—(Laughter and applause).— Mr. Sandford had stated that the County Rate had increased to 21,000/, in the year 1818. Why did he not complain of it then? But he could inform that Gentleman that there were 26,0001. collected that year, and he should like to know what had become of the other thousands. He was greatly astonished to hear Mr. Hanning say that England alone suffered from unjust and unequal taxation. Good GOD! had he forgotten the miseries of Ireland? It was true, she might not be subjected to County Rates, but she was cursed with the worst of taxation—a bad, corrupt, and pfolbgate Magistracy. This had been the source of all her evils ; and those were the evils that Eng laud was coming to under the present system. He contended that the Poor Laws were just and equable if properly administered. It was not the little paupers that digressed the country—it was the great paupers, such as Lord Grenville and Lord Arden, who received thirty or forty thousand pounds a year for doing no thing—(Shame).—He then stated, that some Petition which he originated in Bath drove the Marquis of Camden to the abandonment of his sinecure. There were some knaves who, to favour their own designs, accused him of wishing for a division of property, and measures of that nature. It was false!—He never asked for any such thing. But even if he had done that, he believed there were many of them present who a few years ago had but a few pounds in their pockets, that would ; be sorry now to change places with some of the great landed proprietors (A laugh). The. Magistrates had had him under their care for some time in the Ilchester Bastile, but he forgave them from his heart. He bad no vindictive feelings, and he would never say anything behind their becks tharhe would not repeat to their faces. With regard ,to their worthy Representative, Sir Thomas Lech bridge, he had voted for every tax, for 'Oat grit** l Ance of which they were now assembled to coooplatin. He was present, and let him answer these thinga., The worthy Baronet had as much voice as he had, and as much of what was called modest liseginee, (Hear, and alaugh).—Nay, he would say, tkr if he' had voted as the Honourable Baronet had done against 'the interests and wishes of his constituents, 'he de aired he should neither h_ bad courage nor ital. pudence enough to meet them upon the Irritant oc casion.
