AT a MEETING clthe BURGESSES and
INHABITANTS of the County-Borough of CARMAR-
THEN, convened at ere Guildhall, on Monday, the 2341 of
April, 1810,in conformity to a Requisition for that purpose.
J. JONES Esq. Mayor in the Chair,

It was Unanimously Re,olved,
That it is the opinion of this Meeting, that Civil Liberty, the
basis of our admirable Constitution, is the birth right of every
Englishman; and that no longer than the free enjoyment of per-
sonal security, personal liberty, t‘ttil private property, remains
inviolate, can we be free.
That every man owes obedience to the laws ; laws definite and
distinct, not left to the caprice of power, but governed by that
sacred and solemn palladium of liberty—Magna Charta, which
expressly and explicitly declares, " That no freeman shall be
taken or imprisoned but by the lawful judgment of his equals, or
by the law of the land."
That we have observed with alarm and sorrow the late acts of
the House of Commons, which has assumed to itself undefined
privileges and constituted itself the accuser and judge of supposed
breaches cf the same, thereby claiming a power which cannot be
legally assumed by the highest branch of our Constitution, and
which violates the freedom of the 'subject, Isis ni ht to a trial by
his Peers, and the liberty of the Press.
Whilst we fully acknowledge the competency and right of the
H.mse of Commons to remove all (distractions to its debates, to
punish prevarica,ion and contempt., and to adept and exercise
power which necessity may require in unusual and unforeseen
cases; we nevertheless do declare, that it cannot legally consti-
tute itself a Judge of Law or Fact in any case wherein the ordi-
nary Tribunals of the Kingdom are competent to decide.
That a Judge and Jury are the only competent and proper Tri-
bunal to try and ascertain whether any publication be libellous or
not, and to punish the convicted author of such libellous publica-
tion : and whilst we protest hs the strongest terms against the
functions of a Judge and Jury being exercised by the House of
Commons on such an occasion, still more do we deprecate the
measures adopted by that House of arresting.and imprisoning one
of its Members for such an Whited offence, and thereby depriving
part of the community of its Representative in Parliament.
That. the means resorted to by the servants of the said House,
in order to carry into execution the resolutions entered into on
these subjects, appear to us highly unconstitutional, insomuch as
the dwelling-house of a fellow-subject has been violated under
pretence of enforcing a warrant to which the King was not a
party—a violation in direct opi 4ition to the well-known maxim
—" That an Englishman's house is Isis castle "
That every independent AIL-tuber of Parliament, who in the
honest and conscientious discharge of his duty delivers his senti-
ments openly and without dread to his Constituents, deserves the
respect and approbation of every honourable man.
Resolved,
That convinced of Sir FaANci3 BURDYTT'S honourable mo-

tiers and .:onduct , we cannot hut join in the sympathy of every true-
hearted Briton; and whilst we lavient the loss which the Coun-
try sustains by his detention at this momentous crisis front Per-
Lament, earnestly hope that the House of Commons will, in con-
formity with the sense a • I wishes of the people, quickly restore
. to the Country a zealous and Inflexible friend.
That we beg leave to return to Sir FRANCIS BURDETT our
unqualified thanks for his manly and constitutional conduct on all
occasions, and to express a strong hope, amounting even to confi •
deuce, that the integrity of a British Judge, and the impartiality
o! a British Jury, will secure to him his Rights, and with them
the Rights of Britons. JOAN JONES, Chairman.
• Resolved Unanimously, That the Thanks of tt is Meeting be
given to the Chairman for his impartial conduct in the Chair.
That the Chairman be requested to inform Sir FRANCIS of the
result of this Meeting.
•1 hat these Resolutions be printed in the Carmarthen Journal,
the Cambrian, the STAR, Courier, and Morning Chronicle, Lon-
don Papers, and one of the Bristol Papers.

LORD SOMERVILLE'S FLOCK OF MERINO SHEEP.
TO BE SOLD BY PUBLIC AUCTION,
On We3nesday next the 2d, and Thursday the 3d of May,
THE WHOLE OF THIS STOCK, selected in
1800 and Mt, from sundry Leonesa Flocks, and bred
without any admixture of other blood.
The superiority of the Leonesa, over every other pile of Spanish
Wool, is to be seen in the Prices Current of our own Weekly
Journals.
I'he reputation of this Flock is fortunately so well established,
u to demand no comment whatever, beyond the following state-
ment :
In 1806, the great Premium given for the best Merino Rani
by the Board of Agriculture, was won by a Ram of this flock, bred'
in England.
In 1 111.7, the Prize for the best Ram's Fleece, given by the Bath
and West of England Society, was won by a Ram of this flock,
and it was declared in print by the Committee of that Society,
(which, situated in the cent re of the superfine cloth manufacturers, .•
has therefore been deemed cosiclusive) to he the finest fleece of
wool which had ever come under its examination. The Print of
this Sheep is to be found in Malcolm's survey of Surrey, in Lau-
rence's Treatise on Live Stock, and in a late Publication on the •
subject of Sheep, &c. try the Proprietor.
The symmetry of his form, and the aptitude to feed, demon-
strated by this animal in so extraordinary a manner, had, More
the adjudication of this Prize, induced the Proprietor to breed
almost exclusively from him.
Lastly, any doubt of the superior value of these sheep, which
have never been beat in any competition, is for ever removed by
the recent decision of the Bath Society, by which, Premium.
were offered last year as follows :
CLASS V. No. S. BRITISH FINE WOOL. "As many persons.
•( whether manufacturers or ethers, still deny the practicability of
" producing in Great Britaia, Wool equally fine with that im-
" ported from Spain ; in order to put this question to a trial, from
". which there can be no appeal; a Premium of Ten Guineas is
" offered to the Manufacturer of the finest Piece of Navy Blue
Broad Cloth, dyed in the Wc4, not less than twenty-five yards
" in length, which shall be exhibited to the Society, on the day
" before the Annual Meeting in Iso9, made from clothing Wool
" front the Sheep tribe grown in any Country. The name 01
1" each Manufacturer, and pile or species of Wool, and of the
" (;lower, (it British) to be contained in a sealed Paper, having
on the outside a mark indicating the piece of Cloth to which it
" refers, and which it must accompany. Such Paper not to be
" opened until the Committee shall have made their report on
" the merits of the respective Cloths, which report shall be gives
" from the Chair; and no person form a part of the Committee
" who is personally interested in the decision."
By the exertions of Messrs. Joyce and Co. Clothiers, the Pre-
mium was adjudged to the Wool of this Flock, and for this Pre.
mium no less than sixteen pieces of Cloth were exhibited, many
of which were made trout picked samples of the Saxon and Spa-
nish Merino Piles.
The Sale wi:l take place at Fairmile Farm, near Cobham,
Surrey, 18 miles from London, on the Portsmouth Road, at ten
o'clock in the forenoon.
the great drafts which have been made from this floe's, last
season only, namely, Seventy-five pure bred Merino ewes, and
a large number of others, highly crossed, must render these sheep
an object of peculiar attention to every skilful Breeder.
The Flock for Sale will consist of nearly Two Hundred pure
Merino Ewes in high condition, nearly Two Hundred Merino
and Ryland Ewes, highly crossed, very capital in their Wool,
and Thirty Rams of the pure Blood, five only being reserved for
the use of the Owner, the whole the get of the Ram above-men-
tioned.—Each Ewe with her Lamb will form one lot, aswlii
also each of the Rams.
The Proprietor thinks it incumbent on him plainly to state
that the Sheep will actually be sold without reserve, and that his
motives for holding this sale are of a private and local nature,
and by no means arise from any change of opinion as to the value
of Merino Stock.
The Sheep may be viewed every Thursday by personal appli-
cation only to the Shepherds; the pure Breed at the place of sale ;
the mixed till Thursday the 19th of April, at Bipo's Park, Bark-
ing, Essex, after which time they will be conveyed to Fairmile
Farm.—N. B. The Wool must not be plucked from the Sheep.
Catalogues may be had on and after the 3d of April, at Messrs.
Gibbs and Co. Seedsmen, corner of Half-Moon-street,
; at the Bars of the Post-Houses of th
Cobham, Leatherhead, Esher, Walton, all
the pla:e of sale ; at Guildford, Kingston,
