he wished to notice ate cry which had -been
1.71 Y so industriously propagated and insidiouslY
used against Sir Francis By rdett, of endeavOuring.
bt°verturn the Constitution): _ That 'vile cry had
indeed, succeeded: ; the trick was too
cou.d have no tight with the people, ,
knew the worthy BarootA ;, and had its enotires
11,1 Y in the corrupted minds .of those in whom it
originated. , It was natugal enough that such a
should be raised. The 'aCtious in the House of
lit:1111'10ns hated Sir Francis; Burdett. . Aye, they
o'tA him as the...wolf did thee shepherd and his dog,
I,otne kite the keeper and his gun. Such aspersions
th.Wever could not affect Sir Francis's charaCter ;"
People of England knesv him; they had seen

Vs another cause why the Tialents were particular-

titirdett had indeed aged throui ;bout most constitu-
-44a11Y. He had 'bast moved_ for the liberation of
trt Jones : he failed :- he then according to a good
ilettell3tom, addressed his constittuents; he told them
h!lik, and .this, accordi6g -to .ord Mansfield's ex-
position of the law, was 'the vire •st of libels. He had
thruggled nobly against the usurpation of a power in
(louse of Commons, whictro• if once established,
tk°uld convert that House into ;fan Inquisition, and
.toe Serjeant at Arms into a runner, who inight-
teht)d-off at will, into distant prix ons, the subjects of

\vouttd
etlld at length come forwafd. —they would rally
Sir Francis, as they did formerly round the
p~aßockingham, and p resent a prespelit of
//ace and plenty to the -nation. He concluded by
!having—
Tbat the Petition . now re ad be adoptdd, and
than it be presented' to the Mir se of Commons by
our
, Representatives, George I 'iyng and William
ellish Esqrs.' who are hereby iustru&ed to sup-
liort the,same.'
. tt, That we 'highly approve Gs f the proceedings of
Eleetors of Westminster at their late Meetipg,
at11,(1 most • heartily concur in t he sentiments con-
ia.'ned in their letter to Sir Francis Burdett, and is
"s 2nswer.
" That .the Thanks of this Me .eting are due, and
are 'hereby given to Sir Francis t Burdett, Bart. for
~ts truly patriotic eonduQ :Parliament ; for his
'Nuiv/erect and unanswerable at gujnent in the case
4, John Gale Jones, vindicating the rights of the
"4bjecit, and denying the pow, tr of the House of
1.,_
lnrnons to imprison without trial, and, during
reasure, the People of England' ; for his Letter to
I,"'e Speaker protesting against the power of the
'louse of Commons to' imprisori in like manner one
of their Members, for laying begore his Constituents
!faithful account of his conduit in Parliament,
,and
his constitutional resistance: to the Speaker's
Warrant, whereby he has given a practical illustra-
-11011 of its inefficiency, and has tihewn that it could
not be put in force without milit try aid—a violation
our ancient laws, and a breach of the privileges
of Englishmen.
" That these Resolutions be• fairly transcribed
. and presented to Sir Francis Burdett by the Sheriff,
accompanied by George Byng anti William Mellish,
csqrs. our 'Representatives."
The following isa sketch of the Petition :
That The Petitioners have Observed with con-
cern, in the cases of -Jahn Gale, Jones and Sir F.
ritsrdett, liar! ,0e Hottse had asstitned and exercised

S power unknowii to the law, and unwarrarffed by
the Constitution ; alleging, that the Speaker's War-
rant has been executed by Military Force. An Et,ig7
house,- his Sinctualy,. has been .violated ;
and The biood.of nowt:tiding citizens has been shed
in • the streets. Against the exercise of this power
they solemnly protest ;—a protest-which they allege
t- be more necessary, because their votes in its sup-
pOrtrare entered on the Journals; but not so' the
letter of Sir Francis Burdett to the Speaker, denying
the House such juiisdidion."
It then observes,: that in the early part of this
reign, in the case of Mr. Wilkes, the rights of this
county, and of the nation, were repeatedly and
grossly violated by the,. House of Cot inlins—next
proceeding- to observe, that at length the law tri-
umphed. After a struggle,of nearly 20 'years, the
House abandoned the pretensions they had arrogat-
ed, and expunged from, their,Jourhals all their de-
Clarations, orders, and resolutions, as being subver-
sive of the right of the whOle Body, ot Electors of
this kingdoria. Further alleging, that the House
of Commons, during. its pleasure, deprived the citi-
zens of Westminster of their share in the reigre-
sentatiOn, and the public-at large of the exertions of
a faithful servant, in whose ability, firmness, and
integrity, they pre-eminently confide.
lite Petitioners say, they view with jealousy and
suspicion the., shutting :apt of Sir. Francis Burdett in
prison, when the attention of the Nation is directed;
with anxiety, to his intended-Motion for Reform in
Parliament, in that Hen. House--Ithat ,HouSe, in
which they assert,
,the traffic in . Seats has been
avowedin the cases of the Right Honourable Spen-
cer Perceval and Lord Castlereagh to be as noto-
rious as the sun at noon—a practice, at the mention
tion of which, in the -emphatic language .of the
SrEAKERk " our ancestors' would have started with
indignation."

They thetefore pray, the Douse of Commons to
follow the example of . their predecessors—And to
" Expunge all their Declarations, Orders, and Re-.
solutions on the subjeCt; as tending to the. -subver-
sion Of, our Liberties,,aud the introduction of a Mi-
litary pt-spotism ; and. to,ieCall Sir Francis. Burdett
to the service of. the Country in Parliament, that
he may there improve that Plan of. Reform which
laSt Session he so ,powerfully recommended) and
whtch, An the opinion of the Pettlioners, is abNo-
lt!tely necessary for the- stability and, honour of
the Throne, and the safety and well-being of the
People."

On the question being pui that the above Petition
be adopted,

Mr.. BENTLEY noticed the unjust, try which, bad
gone-forth respec-ling the people's attempting to op-
pose the execution of the Sneaker's warrant; which
cry he d. timed a, foul libel. From the military
force assetnbled round the door of the worthy Ba-
ronet, it might be imagined that the enemy .was on
the coast. He had witnessed the Whole of this long
reign; and he did not hesitate to declare, that alt
our evils arose front one,set of men, and konneotion
of, men, from the first introduCtion of Lord Bute
instead of Lord Cha.ham—the ,tempt or public
opinion, evinced as it was by the haughty receptiOn•
.of the citizens of London—the same connetiion and
political sentiments produced the American war,
'which had laid the toundation of the increase of our
national debt, now near 700 millions—the same po-
litical 4eniitnents produced all our .disgrace down to
the FA neditiorllA Walcheren—thP ,:nnnOrt at it jA,
the ,House nt contrtions—and the sending of Str
Francis Burdett to the Tower.

IVl2ljOr CARTWRIGHT stated, that he had an ad-
dress to Sir Fiaocis Burdett to propose for their
adopt;, _

ICU': MELLISH attempted to address the Meeting,-'
but • the clainonr and disapprobation wa, so great
t'at he could not ,btain.a hearing, :when
Mr. H. TO A'NSEND requested the assembly would.
allow Mr. Clifford 'to hear what Mr. Mellish bad
to say.
Mr. MELLISH again came forward, and observed;
that what he had.to say regarded the latter part of
the List resolution. He certainly conceived it his.
duty to present the petition, but as -to supporting
it, he was assured he should disgrace his Constitu-
ents if he permitted himself to hazardthe,inde-
pcndence of his situation.—[Here the marks of dis-
approbation were so loud, that Mr. M. was obliged
to retire.) .
The first Resolution was then read, on which
Mr. BYNG came forward, and. expressed- his de-
termination to present the petition, which he re-
ceived •with great pleasure, and would ever support
the principle on which it was founded. The House
Was armed witb power, but that power was only
to
.be exercised for the protection of the people.—
The discussion respeding Gale Jones was no injury
to the proceedings of the House, nor was. Sir Fiancis
Burlett's . Address to his Constituents a libel '; he
did not believe the worthy Baronet meant it to'be
so. He thought that every Member had a .right
to- address his Constituents. He was sorry . his
friend (Mr. Hare Townsend) attacked so generally
all public men, for he did not believe there ever

mwas a time when there was in the House of. Co-

mons a greater proportion of public men disposed 'to
aa with the people; and if. Parliamen'tary Reform
Was not' eifeded, it was the fault of the Public
themselves, who did not . properly come forward
and demand it. He verily believed, even' the pre-
sent House, of Commons would agree to a Parlia-
mentary Reform. Ler the friends of Liberty be
united, for iis.enernies were alWays so.
Mr. CLIFFORD thought,. that of the many argu-
ments advanced by . Mr. Byng, the last was the
strongest; still, he thought it odd that the supineness
of Parliament should be excused by attributing it to
the fault 'of the people, when the only two cases
.where the people did come forward, the come-
.quence was, that in one case an individual was sent
to Newgate ; and in the other, a Representative was
sent to the Tower. Thus the servants of the pub-
lic undertook at their pleasure to imprison their
masters ! The House of Commons.never had,,and
never ought to hate any power. Privilege they had,
but the difference was great between privilege and
.power. He maintained, that the House of Com-
_mons was only one branch of the Legislature—
the King was another. When his' Majesty was
insulted, and even assaulted personally in his 'way.
'to the House ,of /Lords, to meet the other • two
,branches of the Legislature, did' his Majesty punish
those who insulted and obstructed him in the ex•
excise of his' Royal fundion I—No.—He sent the
case_intoa Court of Law, and the party had a Trial

lay Jury. But now, by.analogy, comehoi.47 or
the Speaker's warrant was rnade eqtial to the King'S
writagainst an offender ; as if the Speaker's wi4
equalled the Crown, and the M dCti mere equal to
the ROyal-S6eptre. He aPpllutled the conduct .it Sir
krancis Burdett through.iut this proceediti It had
been said by Sir .Robert Walpole, " give -t • people
the power -of blood-Lblood they wili have; 4.olibtl
Lord Chatham parodied by s'aying, hive Minister
the power 'of corruption—cbmiption they will
havt_•," As to corruption being applied to Mmisteri,
was needless for him to say a w ord, and for blo id,
they. had ,the power of obtainibi blond, and • blood
they haVe exhorted the-meeting to,be mo-
derate and
,firm, and the people Would ultimately
triumph.
'.The Rev. Mr. DRAPER said, that although the
citizens of 'Westminster had been deprivod of their
Representative, yet, the beeholders of Middlesex
were in. a worse state, for they had a Representative
who opposed them---"a Representative who h,id de=
dared he would.coutinue to oppose them—who had
broken the bond -between the Representative and
the Constituents. There were more modes than
one 'of showing independence. Mr. Mellish had
shewn a method of his own—an independence .of
his Constituents. As to Parliamentary Reform, he
was a -friend to .a perfect one ; nothing of half
measures. , It had been said, that those_ who pay
.the
reckoning ought to controul the,acconnt. Now he
thought, that not only those who pay the Whole,
but those who pay a part of the account, ought 'to
have a share -in the controul.. He-concluded with
a quotation from scripture, part of which the. Meet-
ing had ottrt heard, and Fart they .had not the
text was " Honour the .King ;" but the rest of the
text was, " Honour all Men."

Mr. WAITHMAN entered into a comparison of
the present law with those in ate time of Wilkes.
Then the liberties of the s'ubjea were not attacked
by the Speaker's-Warrant, but the Warrant of the
Secretary State. Though there were shades in the
'charaCterof that patriot which mrpt be condemned,
yet if the illegal execution of such a warrant had
not been stopped, that assembly, would not now hare
dared to meet. He ohserved on Mr. Mellish's in-
dependence of his constituents ; and noticed the
'sentiments of Mr. Byng, • who had said, that he
would do nothing unless ihe people came forward.
Thus even be (Mr. 'B.)- would not do his duty, 'un-
less called upon to do it. Which of these learned
Doetors' prescriptions.were we to'ttke—that of him
who sap; vpu must do every thing yourselves ; or of
him who tells you plainly, he will not ail for you
at all, always for liimselt ?' Mr Waithrnan then
descanted in his usual - style, upon the conduct of
public men, whom he denominated in general terms
as culprits, and introduced a variety of topics illus-
trative of his, position. From these he adverted to
what had been Said. by Mr. Mellish. He did not
see that he bad more understanding, nor that he pos-
sessed a greater portion of integrity than all his Cow.
stituents together; -or that his private-interests were
more ia:portant,tt►an those of his Constituents :
and yet Mr. Mellish had declared that he would
only pursue leis Own, whenever he had to vote in
.the Howe of Commons. This was doctrine not to

be tolerated., He advised the Meeting Au' proceed
with firmness iii the cause be Reformation.
Mr. r
.../LAY'FON jENNlNGS'approyed of the conduEt
of Mr. Byngi and censured, severely the conduct of
sm.; 0,611. y with Ole con-
duct of Ministers, whom he thought were the ridi-
cule of-all Europe; the hest Minis:ers however, in
the world for—our enemy Wem.Sh.Ould ailelress the
King to dissolve Parliament. He was so much dis-
satisfied with the conduct of Mr. Mellish, .that he
thought they ought to pass a vote of ceniur&apon
him. •

On the Resolution that the Petition should be pre-
sented by Mr: Byng arid Mr. Mellish, there were
loud cries or -" Byng, Byng No Mellish::
Mr. CLIFPOR'D recommended that the name of
Mr. Mellish should tie left in, to see whether_ he '
would venture to act in opposition to the numerous
sense of so full a meeting of his constituents.
on this recommendation the Resolution was carried.]
Major CARTNRIGIIT then came forward and read'
along address, which he recommended to be adopted
as the Address of the-Freeholders of Middlesex to
Sir Francis Burdett. The,cornmencement of it was
a disquisition, at considerable length, on the idea
which this Gentleman has- so frequently recom.;
mended) of restoring the poise comitaius to the rank
it formerly held before the introduction Of standing
armies. The latter part was an animated Address
of Thanks to Sir Francis Burdett, for the noble
stand he had made in defence of, the Constitution
And, the ancient laws of the country.
The Address was seconded by Mr. Hare Town
send, and agreed to without opposition.
A •'call having been generally made for a -me of
censure against Mr Mellish, ' • •
Mr. CLIFFORD said, that he did not wish to cen-
sure, but he thought it would be just as well to take
no manner of notice of this man,who professed him-
self to be independent of his constituents, He should
move the thanks of the county to George By ng-„ Esq.
for ;l is general conclud in Parliament. . _
Mr. BENTLEY said, thirt he was sure that an ex-
pression which had fallen from Mr. Byng; had been
mistaken.. He was convinced that hp never had
meant to say that Ire would not support the, cause
of Reform in Parliament, unless particularly called
on by the People.

Mr. WAITHMAN, in explanation, declared that he
had not- understood it so, or commented on the ex-
pression in that view. Mr. Byng had been always
the steady friend of Reform, and had openly pro—
fessed his readiness at all times to support it with his
best efforts. His observations were .direaed to an-
other class of Members of Parliament; 'wh9-sheltered
themselves under this excuse. from doing aly thing,
or pledging themselves to any effort in the cause of
Parliamentary Reform.

The vote Of Thanks to Mr. Byng was then passed
unanimously.
Mr. BYNG, in returning thanks, declared that he
never meant..to Say that he had been restrained from
any efforts in,his power by such a consideration. He
only pointed out the necessity of, the people speak-
ing plainly their sentiments, because he thought
that such in expression of- their opinions would
influence many other, Metnbers, who were in their
hearts perfectly disposed. to assist the cause of the
people.
:Mr. CLIFFORD then pro-)osed 'a, vote of thanks to
t: eir worthy Sheriffs, whom, he stated to have shewn

every pos.;i:ble dtpo.sition to meet the viishes
of tt,
