FARRINGDON WARD WITHOUT.
DECLMSLIt 270814.
AT apsmerous .and respectable MEETING of
the INHABI ['ANTS of this WARD, keid in St. Bride's.
Claurch, pursuent to a requisition, " to consider the propriety
of petitioning Parliament against the continuance er the rtnewall,
of that partial, oppressive, and inqubitotial Tu. upon Leconte;
commonly called the Property Tax,"
Mr. Deputy HERRING, in the Chair : • -
It was resolved unanimously, That this Meeting has meson to
apprehend it is in the contemplation of Ministers to propose the
continuance or modification of the Tax upon. litcottte, In violation
of their faith, and the solemn enactment of the Legislature.
Resolved unanimously, That it is no less the right than the im-
perious duty of the British people to deelare, in the strongest
terms, their abhorrence of a system of taxation, partial and un-
just in its principle, and oppressive and Inquisitorial in its opera-
tion; a system resorted to by an arbitrary Minister as a tempo-
rary expedient, fitted only to feverish. and desperate times, and
• allowed to be introduced under false and onconstitutlonal alarms,
excited with the sole view of its juNtiticaton-.—a system now Om-
" monly and appropriately denomwa'ed the British Inquisition.
Resolved unanimously, That we abhor this Tax in the convic-
tion that a corrupt and arbitrary Minister would promote the
system, as it renders hint the despotic controuler and the partici-
pator of every man's fortune, snakes every one dependent upon
his creatures,- whose interest it is to oppress, and from whose
mandate there Is no appeal; because the immense influence it
creates is an engine se powerful, that bad Ministers would provok&
unjust war as a pretence of grasping at this lawless power, and
thus demoralizing the country fur his selfish and nefarious views.
Resolved unanimously, That this Meeting are of opinion, by
a due attention to economy and retrenchment in the expenditure
of the public money, and by the abolition of useless places and
ptinsions,in compliance with the long-neglected Petitions of the
people, this and other grievous and oppressive taxes may be
avoided.
Resolved unanimously, That after the unexampled burtbens
and privations which the people have so long and patiently en-
dured—when the grievances they have so repeatedly complained
of yet remain enredressed, and while no measures have been
adopted to pat an end to she shameful system of extravagance
and profusion in the public expenditure, the attempt to renew
this odious and hateful inquisition would prove highly dangerous
t the State,comprotnising its character for integrity, and hazard-
ing its internal tranquillity.
Resolved umininsously, That a Petition be presented to the
. , Honourable House of Commons, praying that House to reject
any proposition which may he made to continue or renew, under
any modification, the said Tat ; and that the Petition now read
be adopted.
Resolved unanimously, That the same be left for Signatures
at the Inquest or Vestry Rooms of the different Parishes of this
Ward, until the Ist February neat; that Mr. Alderman Costae
be requested to present it; and that the Representatives of this
Ward in Common Council, seven of the Inhabitants, and the
Mover and Seconder of these Resolutions, be a Committee for
carrying the same into effect.
Resolved unanimously, That the foregoing Resolutions be
signed by the Ward Clerk, and published In four Morning and
four Evening Papers.
Resolved unanimously, That the Thanks of this, Meeting be
given to Mr. Robert Cooke, Churchwarden of this Parish, for
iris ready compliance with a Requisition of the Inhabitants to
convene the present Meeting, and grant the use of the Church,
when the same had been refused by Sir Charles Price, Alderman
• of this Ward; and also to Mr. S. Thompson, the mover, and
M. Wm. Parker, the seconder, of these proceedings, for the
very able and judicious manner in which they have introduced
the business.
Resolved unanimously, That the Thanks of this Ward Meet-
ing be given to Mr. Deputy Herring, fur his independent and
• polite conduct in the Chair.
Resolved unanimously, That the Thanks of this Meeting, be
given to Mr. Deputy Herring and Mr. Deputy Reeves, for
their ready compliance with the wishes of this Meeting, in pub-
lishing the foregoing Resolutions.
, Resolved unanimously, That the Thanks of this Meeting be
given to those Gentlemen of the Common Council who have at-
tended this day, for their countenance and Support to the several
Resolutions. A. BRADLEY, Ward Clerk.
