tants of Bingalend was held in the British School room,
Kingsland-road, for the purpose of taking steps to advance
the cause of reform, and adopt a petition to parliament ii
favour of the reform measures of Mr. Locke liing end
Edward Baines, at present before the House of Commons.
Panorama CLAW., beaks' been voted to the chair,
%wildly introduced the proceedinp of the evening, (modem ing
the t system of refusing the franchise to so large a
porttm of the community, who were nevertheless culled

considered that were the two measures sow beforo parlia-
meot adopted they would add to the constituency such an
additional number of indepoodent voters as in the case of
a general election might return such • House at Com-
mons as would give them a full and • fair 1LW11143 of
reform. (Cheats.)
Dr. WIRTZ then moved the following resolution r.—
" That, in the opinion of this meeting, every man contri-
buting to the expenses of the state, and obeying ita laws, is
entitled to all the privileges of • good citisen ; that it is
najnet to exclude any such man from the elective fran-
chises and that the bills introduced into parliament by Mr.
Locke Bing and Mr. Edward Baines should be supported as
an lastalment towards the full attainment of that privi-
this" He thought the first step towards the attainment of
privilegewas the uni% crud spread of education, to
order that t e people at large might know not only how to
claim but also how to ass the franchise when obtained. He
was quite sure they never would have an economical go-
verment until they bad a very considerable extension of
the franchise, and therefore they ought to use their efforts
to obtain such, and thereby in some degree relieve the heavily
taxed people of this country. (Hear.

mie service, where he had been serving as • private soldier.
