AT a GENERAL MEETING of the
.}IOOSEHOLDERS audit THIBITANTS of IN:
VERNESS and its vicinity, called by public Advertise-
ment, .(the Pioviust of the Burgh having declined to con/
( ,omit Oketing on a Requisition midmost-Os him) for tjfe
,:pyrinase of petitioning.both Houses of Parliament on the
.illbject of a Reform in the Parliament iry RepresentatiOn-
, of Scotland, and held in the Court-house of haverness the
20th day of Decernbet, 1830
JOHN MACKBNZIE, Esq. Banker, in the Chair,
It was unanimously resolved,
I. That Scotland is inadequately represented in the
Commons' House of Parliament, considering the relative
mt. portance of that Country as 'part of the British Empire ;
the number of Electors bears no just proportion` to its po
p.tdetion and wealth—and, by the system under which
Iferabers of Parliament are elected, neither the interests
nor the intelligence of the people of Scotland are repre-
' :tented.
. 2. That the qualification oLEleetors in the Counties of
Scotland, does net represent the landed and other essential
interests of the Country.
3. That in the Burghs, the system of election is even
still more objectionable : the Electors (few in number)
being themselves self-elected and their proceedings secret,
no direct connection exists through which they can be in-
fluenced by the views or interests of the inhabitants, be.
tweet; whom and the number, so elected ther4 is conse-
(Melly even no communieation, though he is assumed to
represent them in Parliament.
4. That the evils complained of are aggravated by the
'system of one Member' ping' returned for a district of four
or fly Our t :more Or less' distant, of widely unequal.
popuiatiOn;l having different interests ; the practical
effect of which. is,—in the case of four Burghs, to confine
the franchise to the returning and any other'one Burgh in
the district,—and in the cast of five Burghs to confine
the franchise to a combination of any three of them, to
the exclusion of the others.

5. That this systern, besides being unjust and defective.,
is calculated to lessen the usefulness of the Representative,
' and to diminish the confidence and the interest of the
people in the Government and the Laws..
6, 'That being sincerely attached to the principles of our
excellent Constituiion, and desirous to perpetriate its bless-
Ings.tO posterity, we are convinced that this cannot be
ddt►B without removing those defects whickare inherent is
thesystem, and which time and change of circumstances
have produced or aggravated, and adapting it to the exist.
lag state and wants of the country.
7. That-Petitions, founded on these Resolutions, be pre!.
stated to both Houses of Parliament, praying Ear an in
creased representatiem of Scotland in the House Of Com-.
pons, and for such an improvement and extension'of the
Elective Franchise as shalt embrace in it a just represents.
tion of the interests and intelligence of this portion of the
Empire.
8. That the Petition to the Peers be transmitted to the
Lord High Chancellor, and that to the Commons to the
Right Hon. Charles Grant, M.P. for Inverness-shire, with
a request that they will present and support them.
9. That these Resolutions be published in the Inverness
Newspapers, and in The Sun and Scotsman Papers.
