GEORGg'PALMER, Esq. in the Chair I
Resolved unanimously.
That, considering the great importance of the trade with China
to the best interests of the Fast India Company, to British India,
and to this country, it is highly expedient and desirable that there
should be, at leas:, 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 polie*
and usages under which it is conducted; that Mr. Charles Mae-
kinnon's independent principles, his attainments, his long and ac-
knowledged services to the Company, and his public and partite
character, together with his entire freedom from commercial or
other pursuits, constitute, in our opinion, a strong claim to the
confidence of the Proprietors; and, with these impressions, this
Meeting earnestly recommend him to their patronage and support,
and, individually and collectively, pledge themselves to use their
moot strenuous and unremitting exertions to secure his election.
