Resolved—That the Court of Alderman, Common Conn•
and Livery of London, are separate and distinct Bodies,
possessed of separate and distinct powers—that the Court
of Aldermen have no authority or jurisdiction over the Pri-
vileges of the Livery, who conceive the mid proceedings to
bean unwarrantable attack, not only upon their Privileges as
Liverymen, but upon their Rights as Englishmen ; and, if
the some could be carried into effect, must tend to the total
subversion of such Rights, sad leave them without any
means of discussing or petitioning against public Grier-
anees--subject entirely to the caprice and arbitrary will of
a Chief Magistrate, however he may be unduly or corruptly
influenced—and that it is Therefore the imperious duty of
every Liveryman and every Citizen of Loudon to watch with
jealousy and alarm this unprecedented and unwarrantable
attack epos their Rights and Privileges, and to use their
strenuous exertions to resist any invasion thereof.

preseatatives of the Citizens of Loudon, are bound, by their
oaths as well as their ditty, to protect their Rights, and pre-
vent may misapplication of the Funds of the Corporation,

request their cooperation and support ; and the Right Hon.
the Lord Mayor is most respectfully requested to lay these
Resolntious before the Court of Commas Council.

not to pay any expenses that may have been or may be in.
ruffed in mach prosecutioss; and that the Auditors be di-
rected not to allow any such 'grams.

ttesulireri—That John Atkins, Esq. late Lord Mayor, by
refusing to summon Commas Hallo, on three several °ca-
stors, when riloired so to do by respectable Members of the
Livery; by abruptly dissolving two Common Halls, when
Liverymen were about to express their opinions on subjects
of great public importance; and by now attempting to de.
prive them of their ancient rights of meeting to discuss and
petition against public grievances, has aeon a disregard.
to the coustitutional rights of Englishmen, and a markyd
contempt for the feelings and opinions of his Fellow Cite-
seas, and CB. no Imager ►e entitled to their confidence and
