GEF...AT DISTRESS AMONG THE WORKING THE VOLUNTAp
------.Y RATE COMMITTEE AND THE
CLASSES. RESCILUI"...6N OF THE GENERAL VESTRY OF 1854.

TO TIM IeDITOR OP THE NORTIPERN
Sir,--As the Voluntary Rate Committee have announced
that a meeting of the voluntary ratepayers of 1853 and
1834, will be held next Thursday, at the Parish Offices,
Brownlow-hill, at twelve o'clock, for the purpose of
appointing a corotnittee to receive from the churchwardens
of that time the balance now standing to the credit of that
fund, permit me ±o state the position in which myself and
other gentlemen are placed
At the Vestry meetirg held in 1854, a resolution was
passed, awarding to Dr. Collins, Mr. Atkins, ,myself, and
Mr: Liversidge, the balance then in possession of the
Voluntary Rate Committee, in equitable proportions. Mr:
Came, one of the churchwardens, produced the much
talked of receipt, signed by us ; and further, he had the
audacity to deny our true statement, that it was signed, as
Dr. Collins tritely observed, under the highwayman's
threat: I now lay before you, sir, and my fellow-townsmen
the protest which I sent in previous to signing the nefarious
document, which I consider more disgraceful to these who
enforced it than to those who signed it. Then why did we
sign it Because we were sued for the payment of a large
sum of money, and to prevent increasing our responsibi-
lities, we were advised to do so. Not one farthing of the
money went into either of our pockets, except Mr. Liver-
sidge, rho was not a party to the action.
Nothing can compensate us for the many wrongs which
have been done us, in connection with our honest, and
fearless opposition to the Pike scheme; (which, I fear, is
yet fraught with much evil to the town) and the least the
ratepayers can do is to see that we are righted.—l am,
sir, yours, &c , JAMES HOBBS.

Committee.

Gentlemen,—l beg to ackAwledge the receipt of the
resolution, passed by your committee, in relation to the
claims of myself and other members of the Parish Par-
liamentary Water Committee, for monies paid, and

liabilities unliquidated.
The proposition is so unjust, that I can scarcely believe
it to have emanated from a body of honest men. The
bum allotted to each, amounts only to a trifle more than one
fourth of our claims, without any reason being given
why such deduction is made. If the funds of your com-
mittee, only enabled them to pay ss. in the pound—why
attach so unreasonable a condition ? I am prepared to
verify on oath, that my claim is just and honest; and had
our just claims been paid at an early period, our pockets
and our minds would not have suffered to the extent
they have done.
We were appointed by the ratepayers to perform a
public duty, and to the best of our ability, we did honestly
serve them; our want of success, is attributable to the
opposition of those in authority, who should have assisted
instead of opposed us.
I, yesterday, received a legal application from Messrs.
Crippin and Foster, for £169 and interest, as a member of
the Parish Parliamentary Water Committee, for money
advanced on a bill for the purposes of the committee, not
one farthing of which ever was in my possession. The
money was obtained on the bill to relay Mr. Hinder
Liversidge. Under these circumstances. I respectfully re-
quest that your committee will reconsider their decision,
cud award a sufficient sum to discharge all liabilities, in
order to avoid all and any legal expenses.— I am, gen-
tlemen, your most obedient servant, JAMES HOBBS.
