NOTTINGHAMSHIRE AGRICUL-
TUR AL PROTECTION SOCIETY. I
NEWARK, THURSDAY.—yesterday (Wednesday)
general meeting of the members of this Association was
held at the Hotel, Newark, to receive the annual report
of the committee, and to take into consideration the
propriety of expunging from the 4,11 rule of the Society
the following woris :—" And that the Society shall on
no account interfere in any election for a Member to
serve in Parliament," and the further steps to be ren-
dered necessary thereby.
The meeting was called for eleven, but did not com-
mence till nearly one o'clock, owing to an arrangement
to receive by express from Nottingham the London
papers, containing a report of Sir R. Peel's speech in the
House of Commons, on Tuesday night.
W. J. Pickin, Esq., having been appointed Chairman,
an adjournment took place to the Town-hall. Amongst
the company, which amounted to about 150, were Sir
Robert Bromley, Bart., Rev. J. Storer, W. J. Pickin,
Esq., G. W. Clutton, Esq., H. Gilbert, Esq., Rev. C.
Clinton, George Storer, Esq., W. Ward, Esq-, J. J.
Marfleet, Esq., R. Milward, Esq., Joseph Burgess, Esq.,
E. Hodgkinson, Esq., J. C. Stenton, Esq„ R. Harvey,
Esq., T. S. Godfrey, Esq., Rev. J. J. Myers, &c.
The CHAIRMAN having opened the proceedings, the w
annual report as read and adopted.
The following resolution was moved and seconded :
" That the following words be expunged from the fourth
rule of this Society, that this Society shall on no
account interfere in any election for a Member to serve
is. Parliament.' "
Sir R. BROMLEY, Bart., moved as an amendment that
the words be not expunged.
No one seconding the amendment, it was lost.
The following resolutions were then unanimously
adopted
That the general committee of this society be in-
structed to appoint a sub-committee to take into conside-
ration those measures which the exclusion of the latter
part of the rule may render necessary."
" That the Duke of Newcastle be requested to pre-
sent the petition to the House of Lords, and that Col.
Rolleston do take charge of the petition to the House of
Commons, and that the Members for the county be re-
quested to enforce the same."
"That this meeting views with alarm, though not
-with surprise, the contemplated measures of Sir Robert
Peel, leading to an immediate diminution and rapid abo-
lition of all protective duties on foreign corn, and consi-
ders that the arguments advanced by him in support of
his change of opinions are to the last degree fallacious
and sophistical."
" That this meeting being well assured, from practical
experience, that no sufficient compensation can be given
to the cultivators of the soil for the abolition of protec-
tive duties, pledges itself to resist any alteration in the
existing corn-laws by all constitutional means."
" That while this meeting recognises the independence
of Members of Parliament, and their right of voting ac-
cording to the dictates of their conscience on any parti-
cular question, it considers it a breach of public faith for
them to retain their seats in order to support general
measures in direct opposition to the opinions of their
constituents, and to the principles they themselves pro-
fessed at their election."

The Secretary then read the following letters:—
"London, Jan. 26, 1846.

" Sir,—lf I should be retnrned to Clamber, and be
able to attend, I will gladly attend your meeting at
Newark on the 28th. I shall be anxious to do so, if I
can, if only to assist you in the performance of your
good work, and testify my hearty desire to co-operate
with you in so important a cause in such a perilous
emergency.—l remain, Sir, yours very truly,
" NEWCASTLE.

" Mr. George Gilstrap, Newark."
" Whitehall-place, Jan. 23, 1846.

" Dear Sir,—l have to acknowledge your letter, in-
closing a copy of a resolution passed at a meeting of the
Nottinghamshire Agricultural Protection Society, held
on the 31st of December.
" I can assure the members of the Association, with
all sincerity, that I am not unmindful of the trust which
was reposed in me at my election. I shall endeavour
to execute that trust with fidelity to them and to the
rest of my fellow-countrymen; but I should be faithless,
and deserving of their severest censure, if I acted on any
question in opposition of my own conscientious convic-
tions.

" I do not hesitate to avow that my opinion in refe-
rence to protection has undergone a great change since
the last general election. My constituents know how
completely my interests are identified with agriculture,
and however they may condemn my present views as
erroneous, it is impossible that the) can impugn their
sincerity.
" I feel confident, however, that experience, which has
brought conviction to my mind, will, before long, con-
vince also many of them.
" Nevertheless, it is to me a matter of most painful
regret that the course which I am about to adopt in
Parliament is opposite to the wishes of many who have
hitherto honoured me with their confidence. I must
not, however, and will not, shrink from what I conceive
to be my duty.
"Whenever another election comes I shall be pre-
pared to defend, and I hope to justify, every vote that I
have given, and especially the measures which are about
to be introduced by the Government of which I am a
Member—measures which, if an independent Member
of Parliament, I would have defended at the meeting on
the 31st of December, to which you invited me.
" Personally, I care not how soon the day of account
may come. Confident in the integrity of my own mo-
tives, and in the justice of the electors of South Not-
tinghamshire, I do not doubt a reversal of the implied
censure which is conveyed by the resolution you have
been requested to send to me.—l am, dear Sir, yours
very faithfully, " LINCOLN.
" Mr. George Gilstrap, Newark."
[Loud hissing, which lasted soma time, succeeded the
reading the Earl of Lincoln's letter.]
A resolution was then adopted to the following effect:
—" That this meeting, having heard from the Earl of
Lincoln that he is prepared to support the measures of
Sir Robert Peel, instructs the committee immediately to
forward to his Lordship a copy of these resolutions, and
to request him to take the only step consistent with
public honour, by resigning his seat as Member for
South Nottinghamshire."
The motion having been carried, the meeting soon
after broke up.
