LLOYD'S, MAY 18, 1821.
AT a very numerous MEETING of the SUB-
SCRIBERS, held this Day,

BENJAMIN SHAW, Riq. in the Chair:
The Notice for the Meeting, of which the following is an ex,
tror!, was read :

" Lloyd's, May 12, 1824.

" At a Meeting of the Committee—
" The House of Commons having ordered the Report presented
on the 17th of April, 1810, on Marine Insurance, to be re-printed;
and a Notice given by Mr. Emelt Button, of his intention to move
on Monday next, for a Committee of the House, on the Act 6 Geo.
1. cap. 18, which restricts Partnerships and Societies from Insuring
Ships and Goods, and from lending Money upon Buttornri."
lit<hlved—That a General Meeting of the Subscribers be held on
Tuesday next, the 18th instant, at Twelve o'Clock precisely, for the
purpose of considering what measures it may be necessary to take
in consequence thereof.
The following Resolutions were carried unanimously :
1. That it appears to this Meeting that it will be highly detri-
mental to the Interests of this House and the Public in general, and
ruinous to numerous Individuals who have niade Insurances their
sole business, and by whose talent, experience, and industry, toge-
ther with those of their Predecessors, during a period of mor- than
a Hundred Years, the System of Underwriting has been fostered and
improved beyond that of any other Country, if Joint Stock Compa-
nies or Partnerships be now authorised to effect Marine Insurances.
e. That, in the opinion of this Meeting, the formation of Joint
Stock Companies for the purpose of effecting that which can and
has been done advantageously by individuals, would be to create so
many monopolies in different branches of commerce, be an infringe-
ment of the general rights of the Public, operate as an injurious re-
straint upon Individual exertion and competition, and destructive of
that system which has produced so much benefit to the commercial
world in general.
3. That a Special Committee be appointed, who shall be and are
hurt by authorised to prepare and present Petitions to Parliament,
or his Majesty's Government, and generally to adopt all such mea-
sures as they shall deem expedient for the purpose of supporting the
Ltertsti of this E-tattlishment ; and that all expenses attending the
Saint be defrayed out of the funds of this house.
4. That the said Committee consist of the Committee for ma-
nning the affairs at Lloyd's; viz.
Benjamin Shaw, Esq. Robert Dewar, Esq.
Wm. N. Lancaster, Esq. George Sliedden, Esq.
