TO THE PUBLIC.

ill-founded Reports have been circulated'
A S many
by ignorant or designing People, tending to inflame
the Minds of the Poor, and injure the Charaders of flit!
Butchers throughout the Country, it being insinuated that
Meat is kept up- to the present enormous Price through their
Condua ; morder therefore to convince the impartial Public,
that such insinuations are equally false and unjust, and as
much as is.in their power tu alleviate ,the Distresses of the
Poor, the undersigned are determined to use every aim to
lower the exorbitant Price of Provisions, anti in order to ac.
complish this desirable object, thq have, 4, a Numerous
and Resp;.:6lable MEETING of the, BUTCHERS of
PORTSMOUTH, PORTSEA, and GOSPORT, held the
r3th Day of April, iSot, (by the consent of the Mayor and
Magistrates), at the Guildhall in Portsmouth, come to the
fallowing Resoluthlns -
L—Resolved Unanirrmusly, 'That from and after Friday the
First Day of May, we will render MUTTON and BF,..EF
at the reduced Prices of SSVEN-PENCE per POUND
'in fair Lots.

2.---Resolved, That from and after that Date, we will use
every endeavour to persuade the Farmers to render Stock m
such manner as shall enable us to sell in future at the said
reduced Price of Seven-pence per Pound.
3.—Resolved, That if the Farmers and Graz.:ers will not
vend their Cattle in such a manner as to enable us to sell
at the said reduced Price, we solemnly declare :hat we
will never purchase any Cattleof them in future.
4.—That these Resolutions be published in,Hand-bills, and
advertised in THE SUN, Star, and AlbiOn, fOi the idol-
,mation of the Butchers throughout the-Kingdoo, whom
'theYearnestly invite to follow their example, and ,hereby
'in bolllCdegree relieve the Poor during the present 1' rest&ure
of the Tones,

N. B. It is presumed that this laudable measure, taken
by the Butchers of the Three Towns, will entirely, do away
any unjust insinuations that may have .prevailtAr:respeiting
their dealings, and that the Public .will com4.ooerously for-
ward, and support them iu the fultilment.ol
