AT .a MEETING of the FR EEHOLDtIt.S. and
other INHABITANT z of the County of PERKS, held at
the Town Hall, in READING, in the same Cqunty, on Monday
the 17th day of April, 1 t>o9, convened by the High erff, itt
purstiance of a Requisition addressed to him for that purpose,
Resolved-
-Ist. That the recent Investigation into the conduct of the Com-
mander in Chief, and the result of other late Inquiries, fury satisfy
tilts ieetitie of tke existence of the most scandalous abused in the'
several derartments of the Executive Government of the country.
That GWYLLYM LLOYD WARDLE, Esq. by his urrx-
ampled courage, ability, and pers•tv •raece in the Inquiry into the
conduct of the Duke of York, has faithfully discharged his duty
As a M.mber of Parliament, and has in & high degree merited
the thanks and approbation of his country.
:Idly. That the if hanks of this Meeting be given to Sir Francis
Burdett, who seconded Mr. Wardle's motion ; to Lord Viscrnmt
tiolkstone, for the active, uniform and able support which he af-
forded to Mr. Wardle during the whole of the above Inquiry; m
Charles ShawLefevre, William Lewis Hughs, and George Knapp,
Esqts. (Members .representing Boroughs within this County),
asrl to the remainder of the i t 5 Memb:is who divided with Mr.
Wi.rdle on his motiousfot add Addrets:to hts Majesty. In fail
sonfidetice that they will persevere in the investigation and reform
o: abutes,till corruption he fully rooted out, a• tho people have the
sa isfactionofknowing that the sacrifices theycuake fur the public
good are not perverted to base and imp: optir purposes. •
• athly. Thor Meeting ,is convinced that the abuses whiz!)
we lament would not so loog have existed without that culpable
negligence and dereliction of duty which the late Majorities in the
House of Commons have eviticest
sthly. That in order to secure in future a due vigilance and at-
tention to the rights and interes:s of the people, so essential to
the welfare of a free Government, it Is requisite,that the duration
of Parliaments should be -shonened, and that no Parliament
should have any continuance hanger than for three years, as enac-
ted by a Law passed im the reign of King William the Third.
6thly. That George Vansittart, Esq. Representative of this
County has, by his conduct on the late Inquiry, proved himself
unworthy of the confidence of his Cot st:tuents.
7thiy. That the conduct of Charles Hondas, Esq. Representa
tive of this County, on the late Inquiry, has not, in this instance
met with the•approbation oi his Constituents.
Bthly. That front the part which Ministers have taken on the
late Inquiry, no hope cart be reasonably entertain rd of any•effec •
:ual reform 'don of evils so generally and loudly complained of,
until the executive department of the State shall be entrusted to
men who will honestly endeavour to detect, not shield abuses ;
and to whom the people may look up
,as the avengers, not the
abettors of corruption.
Otlity. Thai the Thanks of this Meeting he given to Sir Joust
THROCKMORTON, Barr. WILLI.% NI Haiix-r, Esq. and the other
Gentlemen; who have brought forward these Resolutions, and for
their able support of the•same.
'Chilly. That these Resolution' be inserted in the County Pa-
pers of Reading and Oxford, and in the STAR, the Morning
Chronicle, the Courier, and the '1 imes.
Resolved unanimously, That the thanks- of this Meeting bi-
given to Sir Thomas Theophilus Metcalfe, Baronet, the High
Sheriff of Becks, for his. promptitude in convening the same, and
for his impartial and independent conduct in the Ch:tir.
