LINCOLN, THURSDAY MORNING.--The approach-
ing assembly of the Freeholders of this county to-
morrow has not failed to create that interest which'
such an event, so unfrequent in occurrence, must
necessarily be supposed to occasion. "Are you going
to the meeting ? Who do you expect to meet-there ?
arid who is to take the prominent parts in the pro-
ceedings ?" are the common topics in ahnostall classes
of society in this city. Various are the conjectures,
and nearly every public character is expected to attend
as mover and seconder of the resolutions, petition, &c.
From the best sources of information we possess,
we learn that it is most probable Colonel Johnson,
of Witham-on-the-Hill, will be called to the chair.
Sir Robert Herod, Burt., of Stubden, near Newark,
an unsuccessful candidate to represent the county iu
Parliament, is named as the mover, and Russell
Collett, Esq., of Sweevethorpe, as seconder of the
petition, which prays for the repeal of the beer tax,
and a revision of the present malt duties.
Sir William Ingleby, Bart., the county member;
Sir Richard Sutton, Bart., of Lincoln ; Sir Charles
Anderson of 'lce-house, near Gainsborough • Colonel
Sibthoro of Canwick ; the Rev. Humphrey Sib-
thorp, of Washingborough ; Colonel Craycroft, of
Hockthorpe, and other distinguished individuals,
have promised to attend in order to support the pe-
tition by their powerful assistance. We also learn
that Sir Edward H. Bromhead, Bart., of Thurlby,
has notified his intention to attend the Meeting for
the purpose of moving an amendment to the Hon.
Baronet's motion, and, it is reported, suggest to the
Meeting the impolicy of petitioning for the repeal
of so large an amount of taxation, because it must bttiloolustrhd,eilsatpsintrger,
according to his view, drive Government to resort
SSUIrDTDERN-0:
to an income-tax in time of peace. In this opinion
the Hon. Baronet will be supported by the other on Saturda
county member, Charles Chaplin, Esq., as also byl
the Lord Lieutenant of the county, Lord Ceci ,
and Thomas Chaplin, Esq., the member for Status Wpeoibnetlioefvee,:
sidered ne
ford, and many gentlemen of the old Tory interest
of the county. Many of the agriculturists have beeu
led to believe that the object of the present Meet• the death
ing is really and only a disguise for their landlords
to have something like a plausible reason for raising
~
their rents.
