!judged -t le Queen, =" You shall ',suer again be cif
County Member"). He concluded by saysng, !het he
was sure a year would not pasrover their heads be-
fore they would say, as in the case of the Property
Tax, Mr. Sumner is right—(Cries tfußreer, sever'
anti great disapprobatiox).
A. plain-looking freeholder, whose name we un-
derstood to be WILD, addressed the Meeting from
the middle of the crowd, with much energy and con-
siderable humour. He arraigned the conduct of Mr.
Holme Sumner through the whole course of his pub-
lic career. His attack upon the Queen, he said, was
founded only upon hearsay and were he to resort to
hearsay evidence, he assured the Meeting that he bad
heard a great deal to the disadvantage of the Ho-
nourable Gentleman—(Laughter).
The HIGH SHBRIFF said, that as all the Gentle-
men who wished to address the Meeting, seemed now
to have delivered their sentiments, he would proceed
to put the Resolutions. As none but freeholders,
however, had a right to vote on this occasion, he had
to request that all those persons who were not free-
holders would retire to a short distance, so as to give
an opportunity of fairly and accurately ascertaining
the sentiments of that Meeting, which, in strictness,
was the only part legally assembled.
A considerable number of persons who were not
Freeholders of the County, immediately retired with
the utmost order, and without exhibiting the slightest
mark of reluctance or dissatisfaction.

The HIGH SHERIFF then put the Amendment,
which WAS negatived by an immense majority, there
being only five or six hands held up in its favour.
The Resolutions were then put and carried by a
similar majority.
Mr. WEIR WESTERN proposed Petitions to both
Houses of Parliament, founded upon the Resolutions,
which were seconded by Mr. HARE TOWNSEND, and
declared by the HIGH SHERIFF to be carried unani-
mously; but it being remarked that a single hand
was held up by a person seated in a chaise, the Mon
SHERIFF formally announced the minority of one,
observing, that in declaring the unanimity of the
Meeting, he meant no injustice to the individual
in the chaise.

After the Resolutions and Petition had been put
and carried,

Mr. MACDONALD rose to move the assembly to
express their opinions on the conduct of their consti-
tuents. He was introducing his motion by an elo-
quent and energetic speech, when
The Hion SHERIFF interrupted him, and objected
fo the motion, as not being in conformity with the
letter or spirit of the Requisition.
Mr. MACDONALD resumed his observations at some
length, and concluded by observing, that if the Meet-
ing could not express directly their opinion of one of
their constituents, they could at least intimate it by
their silence respecting him ; and be therefore moved
that the Petition be entrusted to the care of Mr,
Denison alone.

Mr. Houtz Suunza remonstrated at some length,
that the opinion of one' comparatively unknown to
the freeholders, should be taken in preference to their
own opinion of his conduct, which was proved by
having twice chosen him as their Representative.—
The motion was, however, carried by acclamations ;
as was a second motion, that the Petition to the House
of Lords should be presented by Lord KING.
The Meeting was then dissolved about six o'clock.
