RI(:H A RD BETHEL:COX, Fel. stencilled to the Chair.
Amongst those who sat at the head of the room were—Sir John
Pollen, one of the Memberrefor Andover ; Colonel Tronninnger,
the Rev. Mr. Halton, the Bev. Mr. Hurd, Mr. Tredgold, Mr.
Marsh, lee.
The biseiness was just about to commence, when, to the surprise
and annoyance of several of the leading pentone, in walked Mr.
Hunt. It is necessary to observe hem, that those fermets who were
out of s'ght of the fonindahle body strayed at the top of the
room displayed a great deal mere of the spirit of contradiction
and resistance than was meniftutel by those who were fel in
their view.
The Cit.i•liMAN reed a stria of Resolutions against an 'Reza-
, tion of the Corn Laws.
Upon the motion of Mr. Hower 3tAura..: the petition founded
Amu theese Resolutions was reset. It was the echo of them.
No parson havieg arisen to propose that the Resolutions should
be adopted,
11r. MARSH expressed his surprise at the delay—somebody, said
ha, surely will move.
Sir J. POLLEN, after some little hesitation " I move, fir.
Chairman, teat these Resolutions lie adopted."
Sir JOHN then sat down. Here there WWI another pause.
Sir J. Potectw—l have no objection to deliver my sentiments,.
Sir, although I know it is open to me to object to say any thing
more than I have said. Gentlemen, we are met here fur the pur.
pose of adopting measures for the protection of the agricultural
interests. We are apprehensive that Ministers are going to adopt,
' with respect to the importation of corn and wool, certain regulations,
calculated to prejudice those interests in an extensive degree. It
must strike you all, that with our don under dee. we cannot go on,
unless, indeed, 31inisters choose to adopt, what I think is very lm-
probable, a reduction in the National Debt. I Consider that event,
indeed, wholly impossible. If. therefore, they continue to suspend
the operation of the existing Corn haws or make tardier regula-
tions for the purpose of encouraging it
free trade, there can be no
hope for the poor, who are already suffering great privations.
With respect to wool, the competitioa of foreign markets has been
so injuriuusly encouraged, that no one ever ask, for it here. The
only chance we have is ue be afforded by the full operation of the
Corn Laws. (lewd et ies of " Hear.") The farmer gives now to the
labourers as much as he can` afford ; and it is melancholy to see the
poor devils with scarcely a rag to their barks. By any alteration
of the nature I have alluded to, their situation must become infi-
nitely worse. I realty belie* that they must suffer more than the
manufacturing labourer. (Cries of "They do—they do.") For
these masons, Gentlemen, I propose the Resolutions which you have
just heard tead. (Applause tient tho landowners, and two or three
of the farmers ; but murmuring amongst the great majority of the
persons in the room.)
Mr. Marten said that he fully agreed with the (don. Baronet,
and with the Resolutions, upon the subject of the great distress
existing aniong the agricultural labourers. The misery was,
indeed, extreme. and would be worse if not at once interfered with.
Hot he differed from them essentially as to the means of remedying
the evil. He by no means thoeght that the mode proposed 'amid
have the desired effect, and he wee convinced. thetest the same time
that that mode would not benefit the an it would do great
mischief to the menufaktueing bstereets. Ile meted, as an amend-
ment. that a petitioa, praytag for retrenchment, repeal of taxes,
which he had prepared. should be adopted.
Mr. HUNT rose te serood Mr. Marsh's petition. repaid he)
leek every one of these femme, whether he is not convinced that,
when the Corn Bill was in full farce, ruin was going on rapidly?
(Cries of " l es, yes," and applause.) You have all seen its
operation, and there is not a man attempt you who is not perfectly
convinced that not one atom of good will it ever do for you or
your posterity. It is a tax to support the landlord upon the
vitals of the tenant, who is, i I turn, compelled to take the sweat
of the poor labourer for little or nothing. It has been well
called a tax upon bread. Sir John Pollen says, it is terrible
to see the mew devils so fferiog. Index! it is terrible ; they arc
devils in suffering. at see rote. The honeet, hard-working
cant is tortured by want /*Wand., arid +refer the eetYlss
Isjtset. Bat doss not Sir .Torn Pollen know how to take hin
of the abyss of evil into which he has sunk ? Let him and his
brother landholders reduce their rents one-half, and he will see
what a powerful effect that will have in a shoit time. (Cries of
" Ile can't do that; it is impossible ;" and murmuring amongst
the landholders.) Call upon the Government to reduce the taxes
two-thirds. (" Ay, that would be eoinetliing," from the land-
holders.) If you but join the public in omit universal demand,
the object must be accomplished. Sir John Pollen has toll us
that he feared Ministers intended to adopt further regulations in
contravention cl the Corn Laws. Where had he got this inform-
ation? No where. Sir John knew well what must be done. He
anticipated the measures of Ministers, because lie was aware that
they could not help keeping open the ports. No doubt it would
not be done without a protecting duty ; and if they *Ladish the
Corn Laws, and adopt the principles of tree trade, without at the
same time absolving the farmers from their leases, they will de-
serve to lie impeached as traitors to their country. (Cheer.) Why
is there any surprise expressed at the distress which everywhere
stares us in the face ? What could England expect to ace but die.
tree., after the mad war in which England has been engaged for so
many years ; and which has swallowed' up our means, and de-
stroyed the character of the labouring classes : that mad war, against
which, some time ago, W a num spoe a word, he was liable to be
imprisoned. as I have been—or even put to death, as others have
been ? (Cheers.) Depend upon it there will be thousands of peti-
tions sent in, praying destruction to this Landlords' Bill. "What!"
the landholder says, "do you want to ruin the fanner ?" This is all
nonsense. The cry was raised is order to excite the fanner to rap-
port that system which has been degrading the great population of
this country. He is made to perform the odious task of screwing I
up the poor devils, as Sir John Calif them, by the exorbitant de-
mands made upon himself. (Applause.) I should be glad to have
an instance of the condition of the agricultural labourer in Sir John
Pollen's father's time, and in his own. What was the amount of
wages at the former period—say forty years ago?
Sir Jou et POLLEN—This has nothing to do with the present
subject. (Cries of" It less, it has.")
Mr. HUNT—It may be very unpleasant to you, Sr John ; bet I
do not wish to particularize. I'll take a common case : What ses
the wages at that time—say in Wiltshire—and what is it now, that
the value of the estates is trebled ? Why, it was six shillings then,
and now it is seven. (Several of the landowners exclaimed " Na,
no, our workmen make a great deal more.") I say that the average
amongst those who have any wages at all is seven shillings.
A LtxDowitea—lkcause they arc lazy.
Mr. HUNT—Ay, ay; call them lazy now. Well, you may
call them " poor devils," as they were called a little *ldle ago ;
but call upon Government to remove those dreadful burdens called
taxes, and lower the rents yourselves, and the poor industrious pea-
sant will no longer be a poor devil, but a happy fellow, with—as
was formerly the case—a pig in his stye.
Mr. Wit:smut—l have not a labourer who has not a pig in
his stye.
Mr. HUNT—There may be here and there an instance: hut can
any one say that the picture I have drawn is overcharged? Will
any one deny that die condition of the labourers--even of those
who are in employment—is not most wretched ? Why should this
be so? Within the last forty years land has risen threefold, and
still the landlord says the fanner cannot give higher wages to the
labourer. (Cries of • No, he cannot.") And why can he not ?
Because the landlord will nn of
ot eable him : but comels him, by
keeping up his rent, to perform the execrable office starving the
poor, who work fur him morning, noon, and night. 1. He then fro-
ceeded, in Ids usual rambling way, to speak of the charges on the
Civil List]
One of the LANDOWNER:4.-1111y, Mr. Hunt, if you wish t
ohlis.
cuss subjects of this kind, do you not call a meeting for that
purpose ?
Mr. HUNT said the reduction of the enormous tax upon the
people was to the purpme. He would also say, " Abolish the
Game laws."
Here several of the landowners requested that lie would not much
the subject of the Game Laws.
Mr. HUNT said, they had assembled together to devise means
fur relieving the agricultural distress. It therefore became him
to speak of the Game Laws. Un those lands where theme ere
great game preserves, the destruction of human fowl by h wares
was dreadful. Ile would mention one instance. At Netheraeon.
where there was a great game preserve, the property of Michael
Mahe:mit, it was the practice, when a farmer went to take land,
to abide by the calculation made by a starve or, and agreed to by
the landowner, which calculation proved, that out of every eight
sacks of wheat, the hares deetroyed two, so that it was ascer-
tained, that in one year those vermin destroyed more wheat
than the whale population of the parieli could consume in three.
(Hear, hear ! front the farmers.) lie would assert, without fear
of contradiction, that in those places where there were extensive
preserves, the hares certainly destroyed as much corn as would
support all the pnpulation, exclusive of large cities and towns.
He described the necessity of at least modifying those laws. Mr.
Ilutit concluded by calling on die :Meeting to unite in the endea-
vours to relieve themselves,and the" poor devils" who had been so
accurately described by the Honourable Baronet, by supporting
the Amendment.
Sir J. l'oetEw—When I made use of the epithet "poor devils,"
God knows I meant nothing unkind. (Cries of No, no. You
have been very hard on us landholders, Mr. Hunt.")
Mr. fluor —I by no means charge you with an unkind thought'
