oppose a measure involving a great public good, merely because it
I,a, supposed to abridge some of the privileges of its non-resident
members; and although this Common Hall is convinced that their eta-
:ion in society will secure the exercise of the elective franchise in
other districts to those who now vote as non-resident Liverymen, yet

'liege, for the purpose of securing so great a public good as this im-
portant measure will confer upon the Livery of London, in common
with the country at large.
