JUSTICE TO IRELAND;
Atr-aMEETING . held at Clevelind-ryrr 41,kudf94f. Feb.
nary 19, 1844,
Resolved—
That the conduct of the present Government towards Ireland, in
its general policy, and particularly in connection with the late trial
of Daniel O'Connell and his fellow-traversers, deserves and demands
the most severe reprobation.
That equal laws and equal privileges—freedom of discussion—meet-
ing together to proclaim grievances—agitation by peaceable and legal
means—and fair trial by jury—are the birthrights of every subject of
the United Kingdom.
That the powers brought to bear against these rights in Ireland,
although directed against Mr. O'Connell, are equally adverse to the
rights of Englishmen.
That, in order to show the sympathy. of Englishmen with Irish-
men, and the admiration entertained in this country for the constant
and consistent advocate of the rights and privileges of Irishmen
during the last forty years, a public dinner be given to Daniel
O'Connell, Esq., M.P.
That Thomas blingsby Duncombe, Esq., M.P., be requested to
preside on the occasion
