THE CONSPIRACY BILL.

MEETING IN LAMBETH.

Last evening a very crowded public meeting was
held at the Horns Tavern, Kennington, to protest
against the 'bill; proposed by Lord Palmerston,
in reference to conspiracy to murder. Mr. F.
Doulton was called to the chair, Among those on
the platform was Mr. Williams, M.P., one of the
representatives for Lambeth.
A letter from Mr. Roupell,
M.P., w read re-
gretting his inability to attend.
The CHAIRMAN said the question they were met
to discuss was not a political, but a national and
as
social one, being nothing less than to determine
whether we should submit to a deep insult offered
to the peeple of this country.
(gear.) He con-
tended that the present law was ample to meet any
requirements sought to be met by
the proposed
measure, and no amendment of the law was neces-
sary. (Hear.) The introduction of this bill was
a gross insult to our national honour.
The country
had been denominated in the Monitor a den of
coni-pirators, and the people of this country were
said to be th: friends of assassins. To the despatch
which had been sent by France he considered that
a firm and indignant answer should have been given,
telling France that their present ruler bad himself
enjoyed all the
privileges which he now sought to
have taken away from less fortunate exiles) and that
his demands would not be acceded to. (Hear.)
But instead of that the only reply
given was the
introduction of Lord Palmerston's bill. (Hisses.)
The real object of the bill was to endow the state
of things at present existing on the Continent—
(hear)—and to give Louis Napoleon something to
fall back upon by making those around him suppose
that this country Would give him its support if
necessary. If this bill failed—as fail it would—in
its operation,
even if it passed into a law, the result
would be that some further demand would be made
of a similar or more monstrous nature—(hear)—and
so things would go on until at last the
the press would be objected to by foreign despots
and be attempted to be infringed. Let them, that e-
fore, nip th s attemptfreedom of
in the bud, and show the
futility of all such efforts to introduce despotism
amongst us. (Hear, hear.)
Mr. GODDARD moved the first resolution—" That
this meeting is of Opinion that Lord Palmerston's
Conspiracy Bill is unnecessary, and that any attempt
to pass a measure at the present time, in consequence
of foreign menace, is
the spirit and usage of the British nation ; and the
meeting pledges itself to oppose the same by every
constitutional means." mtclignified and contrary to

--- _.
Mr. KNIGHT seconded
Mr. WILLIAMS, M lio the resolution.
M. •, said he had already shown
his objection to the proposed bill by opposing it on
its first introduction. They were not met to show
the people of France that we were not, as represented
in the Moniteur, the friends of assassination, for our
nation was too well understood, in his opinion, by
the people of France to render any such defence
nece,sary. (Hear.) With regard to the Conspiracy
Bill, the first lawyers of the
day
had declared thepresentpent law in reference to the crime of conspiracy to
he amply sufficient, and therefore no legislation on
