Oa (he. floor (Mr. Dixan). had expressed himself as ifl
he felt satisfaction at the 'rejection of the Petition,
and had taken the liberty of an old member, to read;
. the Court a erudential lecture, as if they had done
something extremely wrong. Now, the right of
Petitionnig belonged unquestionably to evert indi-
vidual, and he believed it• was agreed among all
good authorities, that the mode in which Petitions
and statements of grievances were expressed should
-not be too scrupulously inquired into. He was at a
loss to kaow how the Corporation could hare carried
up any other sort of Petition than that which had
been rejected. It was-said to have imputed to the
house of •Lords what was not the fact, or what all
but the Secret Committee were ignorant of, and
what that Court itself could have had no opportu-
• pity of-knosting to he true. But how was it possi-
ble for therit to Petition against a measure before
• Pat!ionent, if they did not act on common report?'
If-they waited for certain information, their Petitions
would come too late; and, accordingly, the late Pe-
titiod said they had been led to believe that a Bill
founded on evidence of a ceitain description had'
been introduced. Now he would ask if diere was
any man in the British dominions, who had paid the,
smalle.t attention to the proceedings which were
going forward, who did hot believe that this was thi
• case; and if it s as not an encroachment upon the'
e4ight of Petitionieg to reject a Retition altogether,
-2 and to defeat its whole object, because it contained
some things which the Petitioners could not have
had the means of proving? He was wholly at a
loss to conceive the grounds on which the House of
Lords had rejected their Petition : he admitted that
' to interfere with a cause pending in a Court o,
Justice would be highly improper, but such was
not the case in the present instance—(Hear, hear).—
The proceeding against which they had petitioned,
• instead of being analogous to a trial in a Court of
Justice, was contrary to every principle of:Justice.—
• Bills of Pains and Penalties were of an post-factoes
operation, making a law to punish that which was
no violation 'of the law (Hear, hear).—The very
course of proceeding pursued by Ministers, shewed
their consciousness of having deviated from the path
of justice and impartiality. Why were 40,000 troops
to be assembled round the capital while this proceed-
ing was pending.? Were Ministers afraid of the good
feeling of the People, and of their attachment to the
Constitution and the country ? In fact, these pre-
cautions shewed that the proceeding was so opposite
to evert notion of justice, that Ministers felt it im-
possible that the indignation of the People could be
suppressed by any other means than military force-
- (Hear, hear).—They, therefore, were the hest friends
of the Constitution and of justice who encouteaged
Petitions against such Sr proceeding. In the case of
Anne Boleyn, Parliament had committed what all
the world had since pronounced to be injustice and
murder; and, as a foriner House of Lords had de-
prived a Queen of England of her life, it was not
impossible
--
• The LotteMAYea spoke to order. He conceived,
that e hat the worthy Alderman was saying was
reflection on the House of Lords—(Cries of No, ao).
Mr. Alderman WAITIIMAN.—I had 'leper!. my'
Lord Mayor, that yeu kne# your dirty better than to'
suppose that you were sifting there to give yoter:
judgment of what is said %y-others.
Mr. T. N. WELDIAMI Striti Mr. SAINCILL DIM); aft•
verally spoke to orderi' rind made a scene ofAitit
contention which it is impossible to describe. Wbea
order was restored,
Mr.-WA resumed---He observed, -that.dis-
-order generally arose from some Gentlemen who
presumed to set up their opinions as standards to di-
rept the Court. He _repeated, that the person sitting
in that chair, whoever ertlight be, had no right to
express his judgment of the opinions and sentiments
delivered by Members. He had been interrupted,
while stating to the Court an historical fact, viz. that
Anne Boleyn had been tried by a tribunal of this
kind, and unjustly brought to death; for the concur-
rent testimony~of all historians went to prove her in-
nocence; and if an innocent person was deprived of
life, the act was not justice, but murder. Suppose
the Court submitted to the rejection of their Petition,
such an acquiescence on their part would shew all
thelingdom, who were about to petition against the
Bill. that their Petitions would not be received; or it
would have given the Public reason to believe that
there was something very improper in the former
.Petition. -To prevent either of them consequences,
'it was therefore the duty of the Court to present a
Petition that should be received. He believed, from
-the manner in which the Queen had met the present
accusation, and from the manner in which she bad
formerly triumphed over the machinations of her
enemies. that she was wholly innocent: But set
ing, for the sake of argument, that she was gull;
that Would be PO vindication of the course at present
pursued; for, as had been said in one of the
in House of Lords, such a coarse of proceeding,.
if.resofted to against a guilty person, might be in-Ide-
as instrument for the destruction of the most virtu-
ous and honourable individual.
The Losie Matron said his reason for interrupting
the worthy Alderman was, that he did not like to see
a picture taken from the blackest page of our 'his-
tory held up for the purpose of being compared with
the conduct of the House of Lords on the present
occasion; at the same time he did not wish to be un-
derstood as having said one word that could be con-
sidered disrespectful to the Illustrious Personage who
was the object of these proceedings---(Hear, hear).
-Mr. Bow and Mr. T. N. WILLIAMS opposed the
Resolutions, and Mr, JUMP and Mr, SAUNDERS sup-
perted them.
Mr. Faver.e replied, when a shew of hands was
called fur, and the Resolutions were carried by a great
majority, only nine hands being held up apinst them.
FAVELL then moved that a Petition be drawn
tp in conformity to the foregoing Resolutions. The
motion was agreed to, And a draught of the Petition
was read and approved. The Sheriffs and the City
Rernembrancer were directed to wait upon some
Lord in Parliament to present it.
Upon a Report from the Committee appointed to
watch over the proceedings of the Court of Alder-
men in their prosecution against certain Liverymen

At one o'clock en- Wednesday,. a Commotri ila&

„the propriety of presentingUn Address to the Quits*,
under thei circumstances in which she is placed. • '
The Nitro* then • stepped 'forward, and statia
that, in pursuance of the Requisition which he WI
received from several of his fetlow-citizens, he bat
convened the present Meeting in their Hall: He
should be always found obedient to their wishes, and
he was confident Their conduct would always sustain
the character which they so deservedly held in the
country. Ife had only now to express his hope that
they would dispense with his services as their Chair►
than, for an illness under which he laboured rendered
it impossible fur him to remain at their Meeting. ,
The MAYOR withdrew amidst loud greetings, and
Mr. Alderman LEMAN took the Chair.
Mr. Sheriff TAYLOR opened the business of the
Meeting. Often as it had fallen to his lot to have
addressed them in that Ha% he never performed the
task under feelings s 0 strong as those which now ac-
tuated him. What iere they now called upon to
do ? They were called upon, not only to offer an
Address to a Princess of the illustrious -House of
Brunswick—to their Queen too, upon her Accession
to the Throne of these realms—but also (and this
was the most painful part of their duty) to enter their
protest against the proceedings now pending against
that Princess and that Queen, whom they had, up to
the present time, every reason to honour and respeCt,
and to esteem as a woman, who had in every situa-1
tion she occupied in this country shewn herself worthy
of that affection which the people of England had
invariably manifested towards her—(Cheers).. it had
been said, that occasions like these in which the peo-
ple were called together were too often used for the
purposes of fiction—(A laugh). On this occasion he
disclaimed. for himself, and for those who had signed
the Requisition, any factious imputation. He dis-
claimed it also on the part of the people of England
--,(Applause). Now, was it factious, he wouid'ask,
for them to meet together to Address, on her Acces-
sena to the Throne, their Queen, in the language of
duty and respect ? or rather, he would ask, was it not
factious, was it not disloyal. to institute such proceed-
ings against such a personage, as were a violation of
all law, of all authorities, of all precedenfs, save in-
deed such as could be drawn forth from the wont
periods in the bad times of English history ? (Cheers).
Far was it from him to wish to see disientions sown
among any members of the Royal Family. On the
contrary, he Wished, and they all wished, to see die
King and Queen on the Throne of England, happy,
united, and in every way adorning the stations they
were called upon to 611. On looking at the present,'
situation in which her Majesty was se unfortunately.
placed, they would bear in remembrance, that this sves• 1

mark for the finger of scorn to point at, and the ma-

when he knew the People of England had not yet
deserted her !—(Great applause)—but, while in this
situation, and the moment .the late King died, the
attack was recommenced against the Queen, by the
striking out her name from the Liturgy. Then came
the announcement that she should not set her foot
upon the English shore. The moment her intention
to come here was known, every impediment was
thrown in her *ay, every means-used to thwart her
views. A messenger was sent out to her, charged
with a proposal, and a message to try and get her
consent to a barter of her honour'and reputation. On
that occasion, the Queen acted as she had always
done; without a moment's 'hesitation she rejected
the unworthy proposal with scorn. With unparal-:'
leled sagacity she at one glance saw, that a moment's
hesitation at such a time would compromise her ho-
nour and her rights. She turned her back upon the
disgraceful compromise, and once more threw herself'
for protectiot into the sums of the People of England.
—Need he say what had been her reception. among
them ? Need he remind them with what demonstra-

tions of popular affection she re-entered London ?
These were well known, which required not repetition
from him. Well, then, the Queen took up her resi-
dence again in London. Then the attack was re.
commenced. Then came the tremendous Green Bag

Bags, and he would tell them why. He had once had

He tbrn through the medium of their worthy County ,
Member (Mr. Coke), challenged the Minister to sub-
stantiate
one tittle of true evidence against, himself,
or against any one of the people of Norwich. What'
reply did the Minister make to this challenge? He
said, indeed, through Mr. Bragge Bathurst) ttl.ihe,
House of Commons, that it was all a mistake, .than',
the City of Norwich ought not to have been.put into'
the Big—(Roars of taughter):—He had, therefore,

and at home. Now, either the Ministers thausht her

—The head and front of hey-offending was -then
coming to England; for, if 'guilty,- why did Minis-
ters offer her wealth and Impunity; if innocent; why
shut her out from the proper station to which, as
Queen, she was entitled ? To return to the green
bag—she came, and the charge against her was laid
on the table of the House of commons. Bet, when
she asked for the list of the witnesses against her;
the answer was, "0 no, that forms no part of the
green bag system r This
course was in direct con,
travention of British law, which required not only
that the accuser should be confronted with the ac-
cused, but that the depositions against him should
be formally signed by the witness, and the facts spe-
cifically and openly attested. The- course taken
against the Queen deprived her then of the advan-
tage to which the meanest subject in the land 'was
entitled. On that ground the people had a right to
take their stand, and proclaini the hardship and in-
justice of this anomalous course. Through the
Queen. huh the privileges of the law and, th• Con-
stitutimi had been notoriously violated ; and nothing
could he truer than the following words which she
apprapr?atetrueed in her answer to the Newbury
Addrmal---ft An attempt is now making to degrade
me in flak, and to sink me in infamy, by ,a proce-
dute which is at opt, an outrage

Constitution. But thy honour 'and my rights are,
in fact, those of the country. The tyranny which

—He hardly knew which to admire the most in this

answer—the truth, the justice, or the dignity. Every
word came home to their own person s—(Hear!)—
If the proceeding by Bill of Pains and Penalties were
justifiable against the Queen, it might be equally-
well applied to the meanest subject; how then would

were a good one, why deny it to her? If the facts
could support the witnesses, why fear to name them?

old English feelings must be gone: they mn
be prepared to sit down as slaves, and not to live

and that Constitution which their ancestors had se-
cured for them. He concluded, amid great applal-se,
by proposing the following Resolutions, which were,
as he read them, received with the strongest demon-
strations of approbation:
" Resolved, Ist. That this Meeting do most COrCii2.ll7 ter-
gratulite her Majesty upon her safe arrival in this kingdcrn,
at the same time beg leave to express their admirati,n ef her

to convey her to this country, and to provide a place of rt:.
denersuited to her milted rank and station,- as cruel ansisr.u..
ton outrages upon her Majesty's feelings, and as manifest proufs

persecution than by a desire of rendering impartial and suast:::.-

treduction, upon this paper and es-parte tvidence, of a Lill ~;i•
Pains and Runalties, for the minicar of degrading and divorcing
the Queen of England, are proceedings which we cannot viow
.withoat the greatest aistm and disgust, as being utterly
rent to thegenuine principles s.of the Miglfsh law, and
tending to the subversion of the liberties of the People.
" 4th. That the refusal' to sjsedify time or place when ar,tl
where the crime alleted against her Majesty is asserted to !Lye

Majesty with a list and description of *the witnesses in sui port

justice and the maxims of English jurisprudence ; and there:re
calls upon us, 13 Men and as flisginieb, to protest spina true
unmanly and ungenerous conduct, and to tender to her Majes:y

- The Rev. Mr. BeauatouTvose to second the Re so-
lotions. As a woman and as a Queen, he thought
they were bound to give her Majesty on this occasion
the warmest assurance of their respect and sympathy.
'She had well told them, that, if her persecutor!,

Patriot and a Parliamentary Reformer. This pre-
sented no inmperable difficulty to his ambition, for
he instantly changed. sides, and became a patriot!
He was, indeed, like a prism—he had three sides,
but no right angle—(Repeated laughter). He was a
political pedlar; he had -travelled all over Europe,
making and• mending Constitutions, and setting up
Kings as it suited his views of policy. There was
therefore little trouble for such a man, after helping
to.put up and pull down so many Kings, to come
home and merely assist in pulling down one Queen

very useful, but humble women, in this country,
called char-women, who laboured at all work, just as
•
it came to their hands. Now Lord Castlereagh was

(Applause).—He called himself an enemy to blas-
phemy, and a friend to the King; but the People, he
believed, looked upon him as a great subverter of
liberty. His own countrymen condemned him, and
en were not likely to reverse theirjudgma
(liiihfinsee).--In meeting and acting on the present
'occasion, they were setting their faces against unfair
dealing, and shewinrthat sense of justice, which, he
trusted, would ever mark their conduct. He heartily
seconded the motion.
' The CHAIRMAN then put the question on the Rev
solutions, which were adopted Gy acclamation.
Mr. JOSEPH GELDART, jun. then rose to propose
an Address, founded upon these Resolutions.
Mr. EDWARD SPARSHALL seconded it, and it was
carried unanimously, and ordered to be presented to
her Majesty, by the Mayor, Mr. Sheriff Taylor, and
the City Members.
Mr. Sheriff TAYLOR thanked the Meeting for the
