LEATHER TRADE.

A T a GENERAL MEETING of the MANU-
J—x.-FACIVRERS of LEATHER and other, concerned in
the LEATHER TRADE of thii County, held at the King's
Arms, in Bodmin, on Thursday, the 7th January, ! 813,
Mr. '1 HOMAS MUDGE, in the Chair,

It was unanimously Resolved,
That the additional Duty imposed in the last Ses:fon of Par-
liament on the article of Leacher, has already in its operation
been found to be highly injurious to tLe Leather Trade of this
Country in General.
That the Trade of this Country being Chiefly conned to the
manufacture of Shoes, and the principal con,umptioit to tl.e
lower classes of the people, of whom the popula,ion chiefly con-
sists, the operation of this lax will prove peculiarly distressing
to the labouring poor from the neeess ty resulting from it of a
'considerable advance in that most essential article.
_ _ _

. That the very high price of the raw Materials, Hides and
Bark, in addi'ion to the great advance in labour, render the Ma-
nufacturer. of Leather less able to support a double Fax at thii
time than formerly, and therefore this Meeting Is of opinion,
that noth'ng less than a total Repeal of the late Act can save this
important Trade from ultimate rein.
That the Manufacturers. of Leather, articularly In this
County, anticipating the necessity of abandoning their trades in
case the Tax is continued, are determined on taking every leLal
an p in their power to obtain a Repeal of the late Act.
'That, in order to obtain this ..bjr ct so essential to the Trade,
it is Resolved, that a Petition to Parliament tor its repeal, be
ted to the Honourable House of Commons immediately
to recess, and that the Members tor the County be re-
' to present and support the same.
it is the duty of all concerned in the Leather Trade to
the support of their Representatives in Parliament for
eptral of the late Act.
t the Manufacturers of Leather in London and its vicini:y,
most ably and fully discus:ed this subject at their several
iv, and shewn to the puhltf: the injurious tendency of the
all its bearings, have superseded the necessity of a mere
• investigation by this Meeting.
it impressed with a deep sense of their laudable endeavours
tor of the Trasle, this Meeting do resolve on giving them
assistance in their power, and hereby acknowledge the
ihligations cot.ferred toi the Leather .1 rade in general, by
•rtions they have airs ady made, and are now making tor
-peal of a Tax fraught with the most ruinous consequences.
Subscription be entered into for the purpose of slettfy-
ty exrences that may be incurred in consequence of this
ring, and in aid of the ie„eneral Fund t stabli-hed in London
tiding the Committee of fanners there, to watch over the
its of the Leather Trade.
it Mr. pICIIAND hosT cc be appointed Treasurer for this
Ey, that he be desired to d. fray any expenses incurred here,

already specified.
