Resolved Ist—That this Association views with gTeet bii
satisfaction the result of the late trial of the Right 110°°1101:,
the Earl of Cardigan in the House of Lords, Feb. I°9 ojilh
for shooting nt Captain Harvey Tnckett with-inregt4, for
which proves to them becond doubt that there is one soOtt
the rich and anothtr for the poor, inasmuch as the sin_ to
in this indictment was fatal to the prosecution,_ where.t.
strong objections raised on the late trial of John I'r'o''
strong
fellow-prisoners were declared to be of no avail ; anur so°
that it is the opinion of this Association, that had the their
forms of trial been adopted in both cases, namely, trial 14:.,ity;
peers, the latter men never would have been found g 0
therefore, as Lord Cardigan has been acquitted, We clkeeiowtild be
another reason why John Frost and fellow-prisoners sue sod
recalled without delay to their friends and their count*
compensation awarded to them for their long suffering' OW
Resolved 2dly—That this Association, after mature coioei
ration, cordially agree with the plan proposed bY.,t s
Thompson for the purpose of carrying Chartist can
tee
the pod all over the kingdom at the next general electien,ibeit
that they pledge themselves to assist by all means
inbei
power towards carrying the same into effect ; and further'
recommend their brother Chartists all over the country iiced
the same into their most serious consideration, being c°l Olt
that, it is one of the best practical means of enforcing
claims on the attention of the Government and on the P-ssble
and of obtaining those rights which they consider indisPen
to good government, namely, the People's Charter.

The two rival measures now before Parliament for
