itACT from the 11,IINUT ES of a
jt--41 GENERAL MEETING of the FREEHOLDERS,
HERITORS, COMMISSIONERS of SUPPLY, and
JUSTICES of the PEACE of the County of ROSS,
held in DINGWALL, on the 21th day of December,
430 ; in pursuance of a Requisition, addressed to the
Convener of the County, and published by him in the
Inverness Papers.
Sir GEORGE STEWAR 1' MACKENZIE, of Coul,
Baronet, Praises.
Upon the Motion of JAMES ALEXANDER STEWART
MACLENZIE, of Seaforth; seconded by Corms Mac-
R"zirs Esq., of Kilcoy, the Convener, it was
Resolved, 1. That the Representation of the Counties
aid Burghs of Scotland in the Commons House of Parlia-
ment is extremely defective; that it is ill-suited to the
'ants and wishes of the people : that it is particularly
inadequate and objectionable, from the limited number of
Electors, who are too little in union with the feelings of
the Nation, and in general constitute but a small proportion
of those who possess the property, the intelligence, and the
wealth of that part of the United Kingdom. Such a
system is repugnant to the principles of the Constitution,
and to the altered circumstances of society.
2. That a Petition he presented to both Houses of Par-
liament, praying fur an extension of the Elective Franchise
throughout Scotland, which shall secure in future a due
representation of the interests of the Nation at large.
3. That the Petition to the Lords be transmitted to
the Lord High Chancellor, and that to the Commons to
Sir James Wemysa Mackenzie, Bart., the Member of
Parliament for this County, with a request that they will
present and support the same.
4. That a Committee be appointed to carry these Reso-
lutions into effect, and in general to take charge of the
whole matter.

ing Gentlemen were named the Committee
