ment, and that although, from my increasing deafness,' have lorig
declined taking a part in public proceedings of this nature, yet I
most fully concur In the objects for Which the present Meeting, is
convened. and earnestly hope that ha result may be satisfaCtory.

BARNU, Esq. in presenting himself to 'the
lkleet.ng, said that imputitionS had been cast on the
manner in which the requisition had been obtained. He
Must, however, positively state, that the requisition it-
rid was signed by malty respectable patens cf the
Middling class, and be lkikew of no improper in-
iluenee: for many years this hid been a most mo-
asentous public question, which had been often dik
cussed in Parliament; but the time wissloW net When
it must be referred Cott* kingdom at large fbe sate
a ship in danger of going upon die rock', and did not
endeavoUr to .prevent its -wreck, he 'should not roasider
himself acting the part of a man or a Chri.ttins The
question ?vas, whet bey tiorkitin Ik'ws regarding the Ro-
man Catholiis should he "repeal. d? and nn this de-
pended whetter the Church of England should vlitt as
it was by law established He telt no hesitation in say
ing, that by the concessions they sought they Would
acquire a great deal of power, and by it would uphold
the influence of their own Church. He would willingly
grant them their concessions, but he considered that,
for the welfare of ihe Sate, sante security ought to be
given. He wished to knOlr whether some security
might not be taken ? and if this could be adopted., he
would be the last who would stand op against theta.
He conceived these securities ought to be'of three kinds,
but he laid the Brea eat Stress on the security oroatbs.
He then invented the foll.iwing Petition:
" To the Honourable the Commons of the United Kingdom of
Great Britain and Ireland in Parliament miembled—The hum-
ble Petition of the Inhabitants of the Cuy of Kzeter.
`• Your Petitioners approach your Honourabk House with sett-
thnenu of deep veneration for our CUnstitution in Church stos

maintain those bends by which thit People. the Legielatuti, and
the Crown are united.

J. Trastim., Esq. moved the following amendment:
" That this Meeting. conaiding,ln his Majesty's Governmeot on
the question of the claims a our Catholic fellow subjects, deems It
expedient to leave that Important subject to be settled by the deli.
time Modem of she tegiristure."
1)r. Coz.Ltsra should. not have come forward but for
the appearance 4 his name in the leqtrisition. When
the Church was in danger, it was the duty of the
Clergy to stand .op in her detente. At regarded the
requi.ition,it warisigned by that class, sf all Others, by
whom he shoold wish to have it signed; hid it beau
