Ronssv. —On Wednesday last a public meeting
was held in the Townhall at Romsey, in compliance
with a numerously-signed requisition presented to
the Mayor, for the formation and support of a
Ramsey ride corps.
Toe Mayor (Mr. R. L Fluder), who presided,
stated thu object of the meeting, explained that
Romsey was rather late in the movement, in conse-
quence of a ile.sire to ascertain the wishes of their
noble neighbour at Broadlands (Lord Palmerston),
and expressed a hope that the Romsey district would
afford a number ofloyal hearts to enable a good com.
memement to be mole there in connexion with a
movemeut which hail btxxime of such national im-
portance.
The Hon. Ralph Dutton, M.P., said, perhaps the
first remark he should make with regard to this
meeting was that, although they were somewhat late
in the field, he was glad that the Ohl Year had not
been allowed to past away without onumencing the
movement in R sey. They had soon in the papers
the progress of the volunteer movement. Ile was
glad that it was now recognized, nut as a movement
of amateurs, but as a movement of volunteers.
(Cheers.) It had stood the test of public opinion.
the test of novelty, and it was probable that the
country would now funiish from a source which had
never yet been tri td a body of Niikish men.
The Hon. and Rev. Frederick Baring said it was I
with the greatest pleasure that he met so respectable
an assembly, and he a 'odd assure them that he had I
felt most deeply for a length of time the necessity
of every person co • g forward to assist in this !
great movement (Hear, hear.) He should not try I
to excuse himself on the plea that he was too old;
he intended to enrol himself in class Ni,. I—those
who provided their accoutrements ; he hoped to be
one of those who found their own ride, their own
clothes, and their own powder, if necessary.
((heers.) At the mule time it was proper that they I
should come forward for the benefit of the third
class --those who required arms and uniforms, which
would be in reality the backbone of this movement.
(Hear.) He should be happy to put down his name
for £25, and, if it were necessary, £2.3 more.
The Rev. C. Avery Moore, vicar of Romsey, said,
as a minister of poem, he should not have attended
such a meeting as this if he did not consider it a
peace movement. He believed that it would tend to
insure peace with the world. Following the example
of the highest ecclesiastical authority, the Arch-
bishop of Canterbury, he wished his name to be
enrolled among the first of the Ramsey Volunteer
Ride Corps. and he proposed his son also as a mem-
ber of the coils. (Loud cheers.)
The Mayor said Lord Palmerston would contribute
with his usual liberality to the funds of the corps,
and heartily co-operate; with them in its eitablish-
meat (Chews.)
