SATURDAY, MARCH 6, 1819.

ALT a Meeting of the PROPRIETORS of the
COAT, and IRON WORKS within the County of
SA LOP, held at the Jerningbam Arms Inn, Shiffnal, the 27,1
day of. February, 1819 ;
TUOMAS BISHTON, Eaq..in the Chair;
It was Resolved, 1: That it is with astonishment this Meet-
ing observes a measure is in contemplation to lay a Tax on Inland
' Coal; which,if carried into effect, would bring ruin upon the
Ccal and Iron Trades of this County, and seriously injure every
other manufacture in wkich Inland Coal is used. _ _

S. That It is too well known, the Coal and Iron Trades were
lately nearly suspended, and the workmen musequently out
employ ; and that such Tirades just beginning to revive, would,
if left unfettered, probably enable the manufacturers of Iron to
continue the conrletition in Foreign Markets. •
3. That this 'Aiee:ing cannot object to any relief which Par-
liament may think proper to grant to the City of London, pro-
vided the bur then be not thrown upon others less, able to bear
it ; and cannot for a moment suppose that I'arliament will rule,
or seriously injure the Manufactories if this Kingdom, to ease
any description of persons.
4. That this Meeting cannot view the introduction of the
Excise Laws into the Coal Trade without the greatest alarm and
apprehension, knowing the injurious effect it must have.
5. That any Measure, under any modification, that would esta-
blish the` fatal precedent of a tax upon .the raw material, ought
to be °hoed by all, as striking at the seat of our prosperity as
a- Nation.
I- • 6. That a Petition, founded upset the above Resolutions, be
prep3red; and the Members of this County be requested to pre-
sent the same to the House of Commons; and that the Msmbers
of the different Boroughs within the County be requested to sup-
port it.
7. That a Committee be appointed, to consist of seven Gico-
demon, any three of whoat to have power to act, namely, •
