AT a SPECIAL GENE EtAL MEETING,, of
the " SALT TRADE of ENGLAND," held at Northwich,

MoNiIIT, August 31, 1846,

The minutes of the last general " Chamber of Commerce," as
well as the report of the " Committee appointed specially for the
free opening of the Indian markets far the admission of British salt,"
having been read,
It was proposed and resolved,—
. _ _

That the thanks of the whole bOdy of the salt proprietors of Eng-
land are due, and hereby tendered, to their Committee, and the
gentlemen who accompanied them to the Board of Control, for the
able and strenuous manner in which they have taken up and advo-
cated the question of the admission of British salt into India upon
fair and reasonable terms ; and that in confirming the resolutions
passed on the 13th inst., the whole body of the salt proprietors of
England pledge themselves collectively and individually to aid and
support their Committee in carrying out the same.
That the thanks of the Meeting be given to Mr. Greenshields, for
the trouble he has taken, and for the pamphlet he has circulated on
this subject.
That the 'present system of virtual monopoly of salt by the East
India Company being most unjust and oppressive to millions of our
fellow-subjects in India, by compelling them to surrender the
product of from one to four months of their labour for the purchase
of a first necessary of life ; and being also most injurious to the manu-
facturing as well as the shipping and commercial interests of this
country, it is advisable that a thorough knowledge of the workings
and effects of the salt monopoly shall be disseminated through the
country, anti that the Committee be requested to take such imme-
diate measures as they may deem best to give general publicity to a
monopoly as monstrous and oppressive to all under its Influence as
it is baneful and injurious to the commercial interests of this
country.
That the Committee be requested to organise a fresh deputation
to the Board of Control, in conjunction with the Manchester, Liver-
pool, Bristol, Glasgow, and Gloucestir Chambers of Commerce, the
East India and China, as well as the Shipowners' Associations in Lon-
don and Liverpool. and such other, public bodies as may seem de-
sirable, soliciting them to delegate members to join therein, in order
to represent their various respective interests.
That, in order to defray the expenses which mast be incurred by
the Committee in order to carry out the views of the general body of
the salt proprietoig of England, a subscription be opened in such
manner as the Committee may determine.
That the special thanks of this meeting be tendered to Mr. D. C.
Aylwin, of Calcutta, for the information furnished by him relative to
the salt trade in India, and also for the valuable pamphlet he has
written upon the subject ; and that Mr. D. C. Aylwin be requested
to become one of the Committee for the free opening of the Indian
ports
