PRIETORS of EAST INIKA STOCK, held at the London
Tavern, on FRIDAY, the 213th of November, 1823,
_ GEORGE PALMER, Esq. in the Chair;

- .
RESOLVED 1:1;10113101CSLY,
That. considering the great importance of the Trade with China
to the best interans of the East India Company, to British India,
and to this Country, it is highly expedient and desirable, that there
should be, at least, one Member of the Court of Directors possess-
ing, from personal residence in China, practical knowledge and
experience of the trade of that Country, and of the peculiar policy
and usages ender which it is conducted ; that Mr. CHARLES
31AiKINNON'S independent principles, hi■ attainments, his
long and acknowledged services to the Company, and his public
and private character, together with his entire freedom from com-
mercial or other pursuits. constitute, in our opinion, a strong claim
to the confidence of the Proprietors ; and, with these impressions,
thla Meeting earnestly recommend him to their patronage and sup-
port, and, individually and collectively, pledge themselves to use
their most strenuous and unremitting exertion to secure his
electioe. GEORG P.ILME R. Chairman.
