ADJOURNED Ur! MEETING, WILLIAM-STREET.
The following Resolutions respAing the new
Police Bill were put and carried, but a4t without
:10,,t warmth of desultory debate.
T'.:e first went to impress an opinion, that the new
Polk_ Rid was totally unnecessary, that it would in-
duce ertormoits expences, and that its regulations
tended to give a vital blow to the constitutional pri-
vileges of the Cot potation.
Mr. Kral v reprobated the violence and indeco-
tum of the last assertion, and moved, as an amend-
ment to the idea of expence, that they had no docu-
ments on wlieh to ground the eipi.•ion. The amend-
ment was negatived, and the resolution carried with-
out a division.
The second resolution went to state, that tle pri-
vilege given to the Lord Lieutenant, of appointing
Magistrates, without attention to their merits or qua-
lifications, was a measure, as far as it went to t x.end
the atathotiry of the Executive Government to an tot-
rrecedented degree, likely to prove injurious to the
lit), rty and property of the city at large.
giMr. Corr. took a retrospe4live view of those
times when the old Volunteers were in popular es-
timation, and, while their exertions were set vice-
able, had the countenance and applause of the Go-
vernment of the country, whose vigilant and un-
remitting care over the li erty of the subjeiff, he ex-
emplified, in the requisite measure of disarming them
when the necessity of their bearing arms had ceased.
Subsequent Governments, in more Arduous times,
had adopted the salutary an.' glorious system, by
which the yeomanry of Ireland are still sustained,
and altogether, in those internal commotion' we
have hau, he was not afraid to assert, that it was
alone by strengthening the hands of Gover.inient,
. and by extending tare authority of the Ea culls,"
Power, that we were iescned from those cal iniitt..is
at a critical moment, which threatened r of only
the conversion of our most saereil rights, and the
I wasion of our domestic quiet, but an universal
overthrow and iiredermaiiie destruition, both or
lives anal pi opetties. Instead of trespassing on the
Condi:tit:oral Privileges of City Magistrates, by
Is ivii g the appointment of new ones vested ex-
clu,,vely in the Goveinnien., -he conceived that the
lard Lieutenant, by las cood,estesislisis4 commitnica-
tion to them, not only testified a harked compli-
ment au,d resps.f, hut chewed. by e:Aending the
sphere of the il ny. Magttrates' authority five miles
beyond its Ledi EA s);2 if* .that he was peculiarly
tenacious of ',4 • •.7`..• to privileges, and meant,
ccrtcous,' I•bitt hitt chartered lights.
