BOROUGH OF LIVERPOOL.
SHOPKEEPERS' ASSISTANTS.
AT A PUBLIC MEETING of the Inhabitants to inquire
into the complaints of the Assistants and Clerks in the
employment of Retail Traders: and in case such complaints
appear reasonable, to consider and determine on any
RECOMMENDATION to the PUBLIC, and the
EMPLOYERS, for a CURTAILMENT of the HOURS
of LABOUR, called by the Mayor, in compliance with a
REQUISITION numerously and respectably signed :
THOMAS BOLTON, Esq., Mayor, in the Chair.

On the motion of ADAM HODGSON, Esq., seconded by the
Rev. HUGH 111'NEILE,

R was Resolved,
That this Meeting has learned with deep regret that the
Hours of Business among Shopkeepers constitute an unna-
tural amount of labour—that the system without bringing
advantage to the Employers, has the most debasing and in-
jurious effect upon their Servants, interfering seriously with
their health, and in a great degree precluding all opporturdt
for intellectual, moral and religious improvement
On the motion of JAzurs MOLYNEUX, Esc
the Rev. F. BARKER,
It was Resolved,

seconded b

That the Petition of the Shopkeepers' Assistants, that their
labours may be abridged to Ten Hours a-day, appears to
this Meeting to be quite reasonable ; that such time would
amply suffice for all the purposes of business, and would
leave leisure for healthful recreations, for the performance
of the higher duties of man, and for a due preparation for a
future state.

On the motion of W. R. HODGSON, Esq., seconded by the

Rev. F. OuLip,

It was Resolved,

That such an amendment of the system can be effected
only by the co-operation of the Public with the Employers;
and this Meeting earnestly recommends to every class of
persons so to accommodate their domestic arrangements as
to make their purchases by day, and not in the evening,—so
that those Shopkeepers who abridge the hours of business
may not be losers by their just and liberal concession.
On the motion of Sir JosHux WALAISLEY, seconded by Mr.

TOFIN LITTLER, TAILOR and DRKI'ER, (late of
Postoilice-place,) most respectfully announces that he
bas REMOVED to the excellent and convenient Shop and
Premises, No. 17, LORD-STREET, two doors above the Chro-

nicle-office-

J. L. avails himself of this occasion to return his sincere
thanks to those friends who have honoured him with their
patronage, and to assure them and the public generally that
he will continue to supply the best Materials, combined with
the most modern style of workmanship, on his usual mode-
rate terms. On the fulfilment of this assurance, coupled
with a practical knowledge and long experience of the busi-
ness, and a determination to pay the most prompt and faith-
ful attention to orders, he confidently relies for a continuance
of their support.
