BREAD-STREET WARD, LONDON.
At a MEETING of the INHABITANTS of the
WARD of BREAD-STREET, held s t Gerard's Hall, Ba-
sing-Lane, within the said Ward, on Wednesday, the 12th
February, 1840, at One o'clock in the Afternoon precisely, for
the purpose of taking into consideration the propriety of peti-
tioning the Legislature for an alteration in the CORN-LAWS,
Pursuant to a Requisition, most numerously and respectably
signed,

JOHN LAINSON, Esq., Alderman of the said Ward,
in the Chair,

It was resolved unanimously,—

. -
" That the Corn-law Bill in its operation has signally failed.
Instead of insuring plenty, cheapness, and steadiness of price,
its effect has been the opposite. It has caused scarcity, dear-
ness, and uncertainty ; for, by confining the Consumer of Corn
solely to the produce of his own country, he is excluded in sea-
Bons of scarcity from that benevolent provision of Providence
triade for equalizing to man the beneficial effects of the varia-
tion of climates and of seasons."

" That of all restrictions on commerce, that which checks the
free current of national industry is most injurious in its anise-
Silences, and lasting in its effects ; and in no manner has the
Industry of this nation been more impeded than by compelling
the Mechanic, the Artisan, the Labourer, and the Trader, to
purchase Corn at a higher price at home, than it might have
eon procured for from abroad."
It was resolved—
" That for a great period of the time during which the pre-
sent Corn-laws have been in existence, the growers of Corn
have been more vehement in their complaints of distress and
ruin than any other class of the community ; and this meeting
is firmly convinced, by the experience of the pact, that the ad-
vantage of the growers, interwoven as it is with that of all
en±aged in Trade, Manufacture, and Commerce, can be secured
olly by a fixed, well defined, and moderate rate of duty
upon Foreign Corn."
It was resolved unanimously—
" That petitions founded on these resolutions- be presented
to both Houses of Parliament, praying them to take into consi-
deration the present state of the Corn-laws, with a view to
such amelioration as to them may appear must desirable ; and
that Sir Matthew Wood, Bart., be requested to present the
petition to the House of Commons, end that our fellow citizens
baying seats in Parliament, be earnestly requested to support
the same."
" That the thanks of this Meeting are due, and are hereby
PreTnted to John Lainson, Esq., Alderman, for his ready coin-
plia.nce with the wishes of the ihabitants of this Ward in call-
ing this Meeting, and for his impartial conduct in the Chair."
" That the foregoing resolutions he inserted in the Times,
Morning Chronicle, Morning Advertiser, and Sun newspapers,
signed by the Ward Clerk."

JAMES JOSIAH MILLARD, Ward Clerk.
