BIRCH, MAYOR. •
COMMON COUNCIL, boMen In the CHAMBER of the
GUILDHALL of the City of London, on WEDNESDAY,
the Day of February, 1815,
KtSOLVED VNANINICILISLV,
111.IAT it IS the opinion of this Court. that the
11 unexampled high price to which land has risen, during'
to late war, far exceed% the increase of any other kind of pro.
my whatever, and does not, at this period, call for any Leeds.,
ye proceediug, to enhance still farther its value, at the expense
t the Manufacturing and Commercial Interests of this country.
'Oat from the evidence given by Agricultural Persons before
'ommittees of both Houses of Parliament, it appear* the ex-
,llses of raising Coss had been increased by the high wages of
lour, and by the weight of Taxation.; the former of which
tay be expecteJ to decline, and the pressure of the latter re.
loved. It is, therefore, the opinion of this Court, that such in-
;cased expenses cannot justly be considered as the basis upon
'Lich permanent alterations of the present Corn Laws,in favour
f the Growsr, should be established; more particularly,as Irons
le Official Returns made to the House of COMINIIIIN of the
mponations of Foreign Wheat and Fleur, it does not appear
hat the said importa: s, within the last rsn years,have exceeded
.c amount of 17 days consumption in each year by the kabob!.
ets of Great Britain, of those artici s of food.

That it belle opinion of this Court, that the prosperity of this
iirgdom, war its wise Laws and Institutions, has hitherto pro-
tete,' tram its commercial enterprise and the advancement of
ti manufacturing system, whereby Its population has'inereased,
tsluow demands arisen ter the products of land. It is therefore
o lx 4iTrehended, that the high prices of food will enhance ibe
•rages anti consequent value of. exportable commoditLis, to their
mous irjury in the competition which now exists wi:h the ma-
xractures of other nations, where the necessaries of lite Are
c..nidtrably cheaper.
That this Coact do forthwith present a Petition to each House
• Parliament, praying that the Corn Laws may not be altised,
(• 11- as respee:s the reeelations for permitting the linportadon
:1 foreign Corn for Home Consumption, until such time as the
rLeions of Peace and Amittare firmly established between this
clammy and the Posters on the Continents of Europe and Ante-
via. and until the effects of Peace on our commerce may be
hater seen and understood than they are .1t present.
