A T a WARD MEETING, held this day,
before the Worshipful Sir JAMES DUKE, Knight,
tu•P., Alderman of the Ward, at the New Court, Old Bailey,
lid pursuance of a requisition signed by 400 of the inhabit-.
t 84"), "to take into consideration the propriety of petitioning
it:lt.ouses, of Parliament to Repeal the- Corn-laws, and, to
, r such a judicious alteration of the protective and dif-
Weritial duties as affect articles of the first necessity, by
eh the prices of food would be greatly reduced, trade
4121, employment considerably increased, and the industrious
7"u:useful classes rendered prosperous and happy.''
iJits Resolved (with fonr dissentients)—That it is the opinion of
Ward Meeting that all monopolies of any of the necessary
reles of life are highly injurious to the people, while
"ley can operate only to the benefit of the few ; and that
When such monopolies are supported by law, they become
tenons natiot.al grievances, and demand the united exertions of
all classes of the community to procure be every legal means
dle repeal ; and that this meeting considers the present gradu-
Ptd scale of duties on .foreign corn is productive of great
Injury to the manufacturing, commercial, and labouring popu-
lation of this country, not only by keeping up the price of
i
~ead, and all the necessaries of life, but by largely curtailing
pe foreign markets, and greatly diminishing in others the
!inland for British manufactures; and that this meet -
ing feels it a great improvement to establish a small
fixed duty on all sorts of grain instead of the graduated
scale and that the plan of commercial reform to lower the
free
on corn, sugar, and timber, and ultimately .to establish
r," trade, will be a vast benefit to the industrious
taF.laseeteisn,gby greatly increasing the public revenue, and promote
the the trade and commerce of the empire ; and that this
pledge themselves to use their constant and best
rya to support and assist Government in their patriotic and
udable measures to destroy all monopolies by which trade,
juPunmerce, and manufactures have hitherto been crippled, in-
red, and embarrassed ; and thus restore to the whole people
Ittueans of living comfortably and happy.
Litioesolved (with four dissentients)—That the foregoing Reso-
Ys7o2faLe:rbd:o:lied. form petitions to both Houses of Parlia-
Inent,-and that Lord Radnor be requested to present that tothe
ou
and that Sir James Duke, the Alderman, do
Vent the petition to the House of Commons ; and that the
Membeis be respectfully requested to support its prayer.
""°l,ed (With One dissentient)—That in the event of the
8 (im e°f Commons impeding the passing of "the usual annual
11.. 4ir Duties" when moved by the Chancellor of the Exche-
quer, Her Majesty's Ministers be entreated to use every con-
stitutional means in support of the vitally important financial 'measures which they have announced.
Resolved unanimously—That the warm thanks of this Meet-
-6 re due to the worthy Alderman of the Warti, and which
are
ihereby sincerely presented to him for the ready manner in
h he hay convened this meeting, and for his able and im-
partial condct in the ch.
