SENTENCE OF SIR FRANCIS BURDETT.
AT a most numerous MEETING, held at the
Crown and Anchor, on Monday, February 1121, for
the purpose of tilting into consideration what conduct it is fit
and proper to pursue respecting the Sentence passed spas Sir
Fanners Bosom, for his manly and patriotic Address to the
'Electors of Westminster, on the Manchester Massacre;
JOHN CAM 110BHOUSE, Esq. M.P. in the Chair;
It was unanimously. Resolved,
That Sir Francis Burdett, in writing hii " Address to the Elec-
tors of Westminster;' for the purpose of inducing them to peel.
don for redress for the horrible outrage committed on the Peo-
ple, at Manchester, on the 16th of Auguo, 1819, when lawfully
and peaceably assembled " to consider the propriety of adopting
the must legal and effectual means of obtaining a Reform in Par-
liament," did, as he has himself stated in his affidavit in the
Coat of King's Bench, " nothing unbecoming the character of
an honest man and an Englishman."
That the instantaneous and eloquent declaration of Sir Franck
Burdett, which the unparalleled barbarity of the attack upon the
life and liberty of the People induced him to make, excited the
admiration of his Constituents and of the People generally ; and
we regret that even a Special Airy should, in any English County,
have pronounced a paper so honourable to the head and the heart
of tltr Patriot—a Libel.

That the prosecution of Sir Francis Burdett, by an es-officio
Information, in the county of Leicester, where the Address was
not published, Is a serious infringement on the Liberty of the
Subject, and on the Liberty of the Press.
That when, for complaining in, the energetic language of our
forefathers of the open violation of the rights of the People, and
of their dispersion and slaughter by an armed force, Englishmen
are prosecuted u for the commission of crime, there irbut ton
much reason to fear that farther attempts will be made to de-
stroy all their remaining liberties.
That there is no hope of recovering those rights and liberties
which have been taken away, nor of preserving those which re-
main, but in a full, fair, and equal Representation, of the People
in the Commons House of Parliament.

That our indignation at this prosecution of Sir Francis Bur-
dett is encreased, when we contrast it with the protection and
`encouragement given to such wretches as Castles, Oliver, Ed-
wards, And Fletcher, and the mercenary tribe engaged in the
daily excitement of the worst passions of our nature, by circa-
liming unmanly slanders against the independent part of the com-
munity, and endeavouring to wound the peace of families by
cowardly attacks on the reputation of unoffending females.
That our Friend and Representative, Sir F. Burdett—the in-
trepid opposer of the People's enemies—the steady supporter of
the People's rights—having, for his manly and excellent Ad-
dress, been sentenced to imprisonment, it is our duty to mark
our sense of his many virtues—of his arduous and undeviating
conduct, through a period of twenty-four years, in behalf of the
People--of his former and present privations and abridgments
of his personal liberty—and to assure him of our unalterable at-
tachment and support.
That, at i proof of our attachment, we do hereby resolve to
raise by Pell& Subscription the sum of £2,000, the amount of
the fine imposed upon Sir Francis Burden, and to pay the same
to the °deer of the Court appointed to receive it.
That an Address to Sir Frauds Burdett, founded on the fore-
going Resolutions, be now read.
That the Address which has been read be adopted.
That a Committee of the following Gentlemen be now ap-
pointed, with liberty to add to their number, for the purpose of
carrying the foregoing Resolutions into immediate effect .
That the Address be presented to Sir Francis Burdett in pri-
son, by our worthy Representative John Cam Hobhouse, Esq.
accompanied by the Committee.
That Samuel Brooks, Esq. be the Treasurer of the sub-
ser4tion.
That the Thanks of this Meeting be given to our worthy Re-
presentative, John Cam Hobhouse, for his manly conduct in the
Chair this day, and on all public occasions in which he has been
known to the People of Westminster.-
Subscriptions are received by Mr. Samuel Brooks, 110,
