1. IttsoLvEn:
T, in the oFi.lims CouteA3:l I! t:. , the
gotct.,l and overwhelini;:g distress which ChM p all
.4..1ks and classes of the oommunity (except those who have fixed
incomes; annuitants, and those who live upon the taxes,) is now ad..
mined by every one but those persons whose interest It is to mis.
represent, deceive, and delude ti e people.
2. Hewlett." : That the ori4in.,l cause of this distress is clearly
obe traced to the total absence of any thing Id: a fair repec:inta.
Cur: of the people in the Commois' House Parkrnen:; that
till the evils and distresses which have far so many years rfil eted
and borne down the people of Eoglind, are treacly the natural con.
sequences resulting from laws made by a House of 0-.r.:aons not
chosen by, nor having any sy.npathy with, tl.c

3. Resolved : That to the want of a Radical Reform in the itel
presentation, this Common Half ascribe the ruinous war with Arne.
rice, which doubled the national debt, and which girded in the entire
independence, and total separation, of those Color.ies from this
country : that to the same fatal cause we attribute the bloody, long-
continued, and extravagant wars against the liberties of France,
which we believe were waged and carried on principally to prevent
that Reform at home for which the people had so long and so term!
estly, although No fruitlessly, petitioned : and although these wars►
which continued during the greatest portion of the reign of George
the Third, tiltintately accomplished that which their abettors and
prouteters always intended they should, namely, the restoration of
the Huns,: of Bourbon to the Throne of France, yet, in addition to
the shedding of rivers of human blood, they caused two thousand
millions of money to be wrung fray► the hard earnings of British
"biscuit and entailed upon ;bent asil their posterity an irredeemable
debt of nearly one thousand millions sterling more.
4 R.solved : That to the same cause, (the want of a fair Pere-
sentation of the people) this Common Hall ascribe the oppressive
and overwhelming taxation which they non endure ; which tasstioa
anticipates the first-fruits of the poor ntan's labour—which swallows
up full two-thirds of every man's industry and tab nt—and whic
has impoverisht.d, and is unjustly impoverishing, every dui of it
community, except those a 'at, live upon t'..e necessary subsistence
of suffering millions.

e. Resolved :—That to the same ruse this ( ontiron Hall attri-
butes the utter neglect and shomsful disregord or the:; d tresses, the
openly avowed inability of Parliament to relieve then and the total
inditnrence and contedirt with which the Petitiot:s of the people
have been hitherto treaml. To the Nolte canse we attribute the
frequent suspensions of the H dress Carpus Act, the violatio is t f
Magna Ghana. the Petition of Rignt, and the Bill of Hight► ; the
fundamental principle, of which all the Kings of England, from
Edward the First, down to Georg:: the Fourth, l:tiv ',by their Coro-
nation oath, been hound to maintain ; mtd which GLocers guarantee
civil liberty to the whole people of England, by pn viding " that
no man shall be taxed who is not represemed in Porliament, and
that no one shall be imprisoned, fined, or de-ttioyed, except by th
verdict of his equal."

6. Resolved: That a Petition be presented to the House of Com-
mons, embodying these Resolutions, and praying them no long r to
oppose such measures as may be best adapted to effect their own
complete, efectual, and radleal reform.

And the Draft of a Petition to the lion. the House of Commons
being prepared, was read and agreed to.

Resolved : That the Petition be fairly transcribed, signed by th •
Right Hon, the Lord Mayor, two Aldermen, the Sheriffs, and
twenty of the Livery, on behalf of this Common Hall.
Ordered : That the said Petition be presented to the Hon. 114111• C
of Commons by the senior Member representing this City in Par-
liament.

Resolved : That the senior Member for the City, Mr. Alderman
Wood, be requested at the earliest opportunity to move, in the
House of Commons, that a reduction be forthwith made in the Sa.
larks of all the Officers of the Government, commenvurate with the
increase made to them during the war, in consequence of the
then high price of provisions and the necessaries of life ; and that
the other three Members of the City be hereby instructed to sun ort
the same.

Resolved Unanimously s That the thanks of this Common Hali
be presented to the Right Honourable the Lord Alayor for the
readiness with which he has convened this Meeting, and for the
impartiality .which he has evinced in presiding over the business
of the day.
