MILK PUNCH

ROYAL I

MANUFACTURER OF MILK PUNCH TO HER

MAJESTY.
THIS unique and nectarious Liqueur has, for nearly a
century, been duly appreciated at

CHICHESTER, AND THE METROPOLIS.
It was at the former place where the original projector of this
delectable beverage had his abode ; no doubt the corporation
of that ancient borough evinced their good taste, and marked
their approbation of this

_
GREAT DISCOVERY,
by presenting to him tLe freedom of the town; but with that
the present generation have nothing to do ; suffice it to say,
that this ELIXIR

is now, for the very first time, introduced to the notice of the
bon vivants of the northern parts of this great Kingdom for
their judgment.
It would be quite in vain to enter into any detail of its
excellencies, yet, thus far may be vouched, that it is composed
of the best materials, without any adulteration, and, in
flavour, possesses the combined sweetness of the Grape, the
fragrance of the Lime, with the exhiliration of Champagne;
and while

THE LORDS OF THE CREATION:
will, find it an excellent addenda to the Dinner Table,
THE GENTLER SEX
may not disdain to sip, the more so as
ROYALTY
has acknowledged its transcendant merit.
It has been intimated that it will prevent
SEA SICKNESS,
but of that we will not vouch, never having crossed the
" briny deep" with it in our possession; but should not Pro-
prietors of

PACKET-SHIPS AND STEAMERS
take the hint ? And although it may not produce that " con-
summation devoutly to be wished," yet, sure we are, its
grateful properties arc such as will be found to be an excellent
restorative to the palates and stomachs of those who suffer
from the effects of a sea voyage. It will keep in any climate,
and possesses that sure criterion of genuine excellence,
improves by age.

LB GRAND GOURMAND
will find it a most social companion to his Calepash and
Calepee, and the temperate man, while he masticates his
biscuit over a glass of it, will be constrained to eulogise this
incomparable Liqueur.

" Come and try,
Don't like—don't buy,"
is an old saying and a good one; and as in matters of taste
every man is the best judge, this invitation is given in the full
assurance that, if the Milk Punch only finds its way to the
palate, it will quickly be acknowledged to stand A 1 amongst
the list of those good things which cheer the heart of mankind.
Sold, it 245. per dozen in pint bottles, and 425. per dozen
in quarts, by B. HARAM, Wine, Spirit, Ale, and Porter
Merchant, 42, Chapel-street, who is appointed SOLE AGENT
or the counties of Lancashire, Cheshire, and Staffordshire,
by Mr. Hudson. of Chichester. the Manufacturer of Milk
Punch to the (11-..ert, by appointment.

A CASE OF VERY GREAT DISTRESS. •
rrHE WIDOW of a Tradesman, in one of the best streets
JL in this town, having been left to struggle with too small
a capital to maintain Four Young Children and herself, was,
after six years' exertions, at length blessed with a fair pros-
pect of surmounting her difficulties, when a harsh creditor
has suddenly thrown her into a prison, and all prospects will
be blighted, unless she is assisted by the_ benevolent.

AT the SPECIAL VESTRY held in Saint Nicholas's
Church, on THURSDAY, the 11th day of March, 1841,
pursuant to a Requisition of Ratepayers to the Churchwardens
and Overseers,

The Rev. JONATHAN Bnooxs, one of the Rectors, in the

The Notice and Requisition ha:•ing been read,
It was resolved unanimously, on the motion of Mr.
WOTHERSPOON, seconded by Mr. PRITCHARD,
That since the introduction of Mr. Sturges Bourne's Act
in the Parish of Liverpool, the assessment and collection of
the Poor-rates, and the administration of relief to the poor,
have been conducted with general satisfaction to the parish-
ioners at large, as well as those who are the objects of relief.
Resolved, on the motion of Mr. ALEXANDER SMITH,
Junior, seconded by Mr. J. A. TINNE,
That considering the satisfactory manner in which the pre-
sent system has been managed in Liverpool, this meeting
strongly deprecates so great an alteration as would be caused
by the introduction of the New Poor Law, which, in the
opinion of this meeting, would entail a great additional ex-
pence on the parish, and would by no means ameliorate the
condition of the poor.

Resolved, on the motion of Mr. SANDS, seconded by
Mr. RICHARD WILDING BATESON,
That application be made to the Poor Law Commissioners,
respectfully requesting them to suspend the application of
the Act to this parish; and that the following gentlemen be
appointed as a Deputation from this Vestry, to wait upon the
Commissioners for this purpose, viz., Mr. Churchwarden
Birkett and Mr. J. A. Tinne.

Resolved, on the motion of Mr. ISAAC HOLMES, se-
conded by Mr. JOSEPH COOPER.
That the Deputation be also instructed to represent to the
Members for the Borough the great dissatisfaction which the
introduction of the Bill would create in Liverpool, and to
induce them to use their influence in favor of the views now
expressed, and to propose a clause in the New Poor Law
Bill now before
.Parliament, to exempt Liverpool, either
alone, or in coninnction with other great towns, from the
operation of the Act, and that a Petition in favour of such a
clause be prepared and presented to Parliament.
Resolved, on the motion of Mr. JosHow EDWARDS,
seconded by Mr. JOHN LEYLAND,
That the thanks of this Vestry be given to the Church-
wardens and Overseers, for having complied with the Requi-
sition of the Ratepayers in calling this meeting.
The Chairman having left the chair,
Resolved unanimously, on the motion of Mr. ALEXAN-
DER SMITH, seconded by Mr. ISAAC HUTCHINSON,
That the thanks of this Vestry be given to the Chairman
for his able conduct in the chair.
