ST. LEONARD, SHOREDITCH, IIHDDLESEX.
AT a numerous MEETING of the In-
habitants, assembled in the Vestry in the Church,
on Thursday, the 25th day of March, !SBO (in pursuance
of a 11,quisition delivered to the Churchwardens),

" To consider the propriety of petitioning Parlia-
ment on the great and general distress ex-
perienced in this parish, and praying for such
relief as the urgency of the case demands, the
reduction of the Assessed and other Taxes, which
fall so heavily on the middling and lower classes,
increasing pauperism, and consequently dimi-
nishing the resources of this already exhausted
and poor parish ;"
JAMES GOUGH, Esq. in the Chair.

Resolved,—lst. That this Vestry, in common with
the inhabitants of every part of this kingdom, feel and de-
plore the general distress of almost every class of the com-
munity.

2d. That the depreciation of all descripticm'of property,
occasioned by the alteration of the currency while the
same amount of taxes is required, is one main cause of
distress.

3d. That we believe a large amount of taxes may be
remitted so as to correspond with the altered state of things,
by appropriating a portion of the Church Lands and
Tithes, and by reducing the annual grant to the highest
personage in the Realm, the salaries of his Ministers,
Judges, and Ambassadors, by adopting a rigid system of
economy in every department of the State, and by lowering
the interest of the National Debt.

4►h. That the taxes which press most on the poor
and industrious part-of the community are the House and
Window Duties, and those which affect the necessaries of
life, such as Malt, Sugar, Tea, Coals, Soap, and Candles,
which are greater in proportion on the poor than on the
rich..

sth. That the House of Commons, as now constituted,
is not a fair and proper representation of the people—a
large proportion of the Members being nominees of Peers
and rich Commoners, who represent their patrons, and not
the country—that, unless a Reform in the Representation
takes place, we have but little hopes of redress.
6th. That Petitions founded on these Resolutions be
engrossed and presented to both Houses of Parliament.
7th. That the Chairman, Churchwardens, and Ten
Other Inhabitant Householders (now present), viz. Messrs.
Lawrence, Pearce, Wadden, Skegg, Corss, Box, Chees-
wrig,ht, Stedall, Lee, and ,Howitt, be requested to sign the
said Petitions on behalf of this Vestry, and to conduct
their presentation to Parliament.

That the Earl of Radnor be respectfully requested
to present the Petition to the House of Lords, and that
the Marquis of Blandford be also respectfully requested to
present the Petition to the House of Commons.
9th. That the foregoing Resolutions be published in
The Sun, Courier, Times, Morning Herald, Morning
Chronicle, and Morning Advertiser Newspapers.
10th. That the Thanks of this Vestry be given to the
Churchwardens for their readiness in convening this
Meeting, in compliance with the Requisition.
JAMES GOUGH, Chairman.

That the cordial Thanks of this Vestry be presented to
the Chairman for the zeal and ability with which he bath
presided.
