LLOYD'S, MAY 18, 1824.
AT a very Numerous MEETING of the
SUBSCRIBERS, held this day,

BENJAMIN SHAW, Esq..in the Chair,
The Notice for the Meeting, of which the following is an
Extract, was read:—
" Lloyd's, May 12, 1824.

"'At the Meeting of the Committee :
" The House of Commons haying ordered the Report pre-
sented on the 17th of April, 1810, on Marine Insurance, to be
•re.printed ; and a notice given by Mr. Fowell Buxton, of his
intention to move on Monday next, for a Committee of the
-House, on the Act of 6 Geo. I. cap. 18, which restricts part-
nerships and societies from insuring ships and goods, and
from lending money upon bottomry."
" Resolved—That a General Meeting of the Subscribers be
held on Tuesday next, the 18th instant, at 12 o'clock pre-
cisely, for the purpose of' considering what measures it may be
necessary to take in consequence thereof.
The following Resolutions were carried unanimously :-
1. That it appears to this Meeting that it will be highly de-
trimental to the interests of this house and the public in gene-
ral, and ruinous to numerous individuals who have made in-
surances their sole business, and by whose talent, experience,
and industry, together with those of their predecessors, during
a period of more than 100 years, the system of underwriting
has been fostered and improved beyond that of any other coun-
try, if joint stock companies or partnerships be now authorised
to effect marine insurance.
2. That, in the opinion of this Meeting, the formation of
'Joint Stock Companies for the purpose of effecting that which
can and has been done advantageous) by individuals, would
be to create so many monopolies in different branches of corn-
rneree, be an infringement of the general rights of the public,
operate as an injurious restraint upon individual exertion and
Competition, and destructive of that system which has produced
so much benefit to the commercial world in general,
3. That a Special Committee be appointed, who shall be,
and are hereby authorised to prepare and present Petitions to
Parliament or his Majesty's Government, and generally to
adopt all such measures as they shall deem expedient for the
Purpose of supporting the interests of this establishment and
that all expences attending the same be defrayed out Of the
funds of this house.
4. That the said Committee consist of the Committee for
Managing the Affairs at Lloyd'
