Thursday morning, at twelve o'clok, a numerous and
respec.ahle body of the citizens of London assembled in
the Egyptian Ilan, :Mansion Mune, to take Mut con- .
sideration the important question—" Whether a petition •
should nut be foiwarded to both Houses of Parliament, •
to repeal an act passed in the 37th of Ilenry the
relative to certain Parishes of the City of, London, and
Liberties thereof, respecting the payment of Tithes,-
Oil the motion of Mr. Sonnet INzon, Sir William •
Rats lion was miaMinciiisly called to the chair, which he
instantly took amidst great applause. •
The resashitious which were declaratory of the unecinak
•loperation of the act d Henry VIII. respecting London
tithes, the doubt of its lel/aliry throu4it want of due en.'
rolinent iii the Court of Chancery, the parochial disu-
Mon which the attempt to give it operation had caused, •
and the desire of the parishioners to• give the clergy a • 7
lair and just remuneration instead of the arbitrary, in-
adequate,
and inapplicable provision decreed by the act •
of I leary were put and oarriecl.without much observe

&nerved, that in the parish where he re.
sided he paid 2s. 31. in the pound to the ine ttttt hem.
amounting to dull. a year, for several years. The total
collectioir in the parish (St. Olive, Ilan-street) was, he
believed, 13811. We considered that the clergy would
urn have brnnght forward the subject at this time, bat
they 1141 W begat' us think that evidelice had become faint.-
throlialt lapse of time. It was quite clear. that while
the Gumm, retained a part of the l:oustilation, that
Parliament had power to make the alteration which in
their wisdom they if ight tit ;it was therefistefolly to
talk about the Gooch teventies being private property. •
There was no doubt that the act of Henry VIII,. was
otter enrolled in Chancery, but lay in the archives of '
the Bishop of London, and therefore it was invalid. fie
disclaimed all iutenuon to distress the clergy ; lie wished
for the abolition of tithes, and a fair rvinunenstion
granted in lien of then).
Several other gentlemen addressed the meeting. after
