• At this time a voice was heard in the crowd ex-
pressing disapprobation at the determination to put
the Resolutions all together, on account or those
which expressed sentiments favourable to the Catho-

Smithfield was the place where Protestants had for-
merly been burned, by the Catholics, and he wonld,
have no triore buntings in Smithfield.
