GLOUCESTER AGRICULTURAL ASSOCIATION.
Al
a MEETING of the GLOUCESTER
AGRICULTURAL ASSOCIATION, held at the
Fleece 'nu, in Gloucester, on SATURDAY, November 17,
1821;
RESORTED,
That it is the opinion of this Meeting, that the Select
Committee of the House of Commons, to whom the Acricel-
local Petitions were referred in the last Session of Parlia-
ment (after admit liog the distress, as bet forth iu these Peti-
tions, to have been fully and satisfactorily proved by the
testimony of numerous competent and respectable witnesses,
as well Commercial as Agricultural), bare not in their Re-
port either held out any prospect of relief to the Petitioners,
or reeunimenned any measure calculated to alleviate the un-
paralleled difficulties with which the cultivators of the soil
bare so long had to contend.
That it is with great regret we observe occupying so prro
mines: a feelers to the Report, the speculative opinions of
some of the witnesses examined, and wild theories of certain
modern writers, who, though pretending to a knowledge of
Political Economy, seem to have lost sight of its first and
greatest principles, whose political quackery appears to have
made deeper impression, and to have obtained more consider-
ation in the minds of the Honourable Member* of the Com.
mittee, who were engaged in framing the Report, than the
plain, uncontradided, unanswered, and almost unnoticed
facts and documents, produced and clearly substantiated in
evidence before the Committee.
That the justice of our claims no the Legislature having
been so folly and clearly established by the evidence above
referred to, we deem it necessary again to appeal to Parlia-
ment, satisfied that in pressing the desperate situation of the
British Cultivator upuu the attention of Parliament, we are
promoting the best interestsof every clamor the community ;
for at the present ruinous and dill declining prices of all
agricultural produce, the Proprietor cannot receive his rents;
•nd theme, be be possessed of a princely domain, must, in
the end, share iu the common and inevitable ruin of his beg-
gared teuautry, while the Trader and Maptifacturer, from the
loss of his largest and best customer, eminot lung escape
such mei I distress; and, lastly, the Fundbulder will
neither receive his dividends, our event the Kiug his taxes,
from a bankrupt community.
RESOLVTD,
That the Thanks of this Mostiog be given to Mums,
Sherlock Gooch, Esq. the Chairman of tl e Select Cum.
mittee, for his extraordinary and unceasing exertions in our
behalf ; also to Sir Edward Knatchbull, Bart. Charles Celli,
Western, Esq. Edmund Wodel e, Esq. Nicholson Cal-
ved, Esq. the Right Hon. Denis Browne, Sir Within Wil-
liams Wynn, Bart. the Hou. Jobe Foster, Sir William
Rowley, Bart. George Helene Sumner, Esq.; aid especially
to John Christian Curwen, Esq whore persevering efforts
to procure the Repeal of the Husbandry Horse Tax, entitle
him to our grateful Thanks.
That our unbounded and heartfelt Thanks be given to
George Webb Hall, Esq. the unwearied promoter pf our
interests, and indefatigable labourer in our service.
That the Gentlemen composing the Committee at Hen.
derson's hotel, be requested to accept our warmest ackuow.
lerigensents.
That the following Petition be adopted, and that we use
our best endeavours to procure the signatures of all Gees.
piers of Laud in the neighbourhood; suit that it remain at
the Fleece Inn, in Gloucester, for such Signatures, until
the Alerting of Parliament.
That Lord Edward Somerset and Sir Berkeley William
Guise, Bart. the Members for the County, be requested to
accept our Thanks for past services, to again present mu
petitions to the House, and to give them their most effec.
teal support.
THOMAS EVANS, Chairman.
" To the Honourable the Commons of the United Kingdom
of Great Britain and Ireland, in Parliament! assembled;
•• The humble Petition of the several Occupiers of
Laud in the County of Gloucester, whose Names are
hereunto subscribed:
i Shewelli—That by virtne of divers laws and statutes of
this realm now in force, they believe to the number of one
hundred sod upwards, the skill, capital, and labour of the
Aniebanis and Manufacturers residing and carrying on their
business in this country are 'branded by certain duties and
prohibitions from the import et all Foreign Goods mantifae-
tend in other countries, while almost ell the productions of
oilier countries whiekean begrown in the United Kingdom,
ire permitted to be imported fete this country, without pay.
Trill of any duty whatever, or at very low sod inadequate
duties: whereby your Petitioners are compelled to pod
chase at • monopoly price, and to sell all their productions
at an unequal competition with poorer Countries., which, with
the payment of all the direct and indirect Tex.', consequent
en a residence and occupation in the United Kingdom, has
reduced your Petitto.ers in their circumstances and condi.
time, and must, as lung as this system is continue.), prevent
your Petititmeis from receiving the due returns which skill,
capital, and industry employed in Agriculture, ought to yield
the cultivators of the soil, and without which the lands of
these islands cannot be cultivated with advantage to the
State, or with profit to the Occupiers. That to restrain the
export of all wool of British growth, and also to permit the
import of Foreign ottul with adequate duties, is one of the,
most oppressive regulations ever introduced into a free coun-
try, sod hears with peculiar hardship usi your Petitioners,
whose fair returns un this important article, once equal in
value to ostelifth of the retool of the Kingdom, are thereby
sacrificed to fine gains of the Manufacturers.
" That your Petitioners seek not in envy to pull down and
destroy laws and regulations so wise and salutary, which
have now stood the test and experience of three hundred and
fifty years, and by which the Merchants and Manufacturers
of this country have surpassed those of the whole world.
But your Petitioners do humbly seek in justice to he ad-
mitted to a fair and equal participation of such laws; and
therefore your Petitioners most humbly pray, that all the
productions of the soil of the United Kingdom may in future
he protected from import of similar commodities, duly free,
from Foreign Countries, in as ample mud beneficial a manure
ea
the Merchants and Manufacturer, of the United King.
rotas are by the Navigation Act, mid other 'ovaries of tise
realm, protected in their shipping and manufactories from
Foreign competition; and that your Petitioners may have
such relief as to the wisdom of this Honourable House msy
mem meet. And your Petitioners shall ever pray."
