PUBLIC AIEnTING OF FREEMEN.

A very numerously-attended public. meeting of freemen,
and other persons entitledto their .freedom, of the borough
of Liv'crpool was held' on Wednesday night in the Cair
pentere-obniS; Bond:street, Mr. Robert Brew in the chair.
. i Mr. 'JACKSON, in rePrence to the arject of the 'meeting,
hadbeen briefly introduced by the chairman, said that
it was pretty•well known that at the preSent time freemen,'
or those 'entitled to the freedom of the- borough, could not
.exercise their franehise until they had paid, the sumof.£2 as
an admission fee. 'Although this .was not, perhaps, an ex-
.aybitant amount, yet when their Parliamentary privileges
were .shared iu common with the rated £lO householders,
and their local right Of voting had .been takewentirely from
them,, it did not appear to be unreasonable that.the .charge
should he reduced. It Was probably also,known that au act
had lately passed the legislature by which the stamp duty
now paid on admiiiien to the freedom of corporations .in
England was abolished, and•for this there w.aSgreet reason
to thank those who had shown that they.were still the friends
of the much caluwiniated freenietvin spite of. the stigmas
that had been cast Upon them by those who would rob them
of their rights, and ride over theinto power. If _this liberality
mud be exercised by the legislature, it was but reasonable
to expect that a council professedly liberal should abrogate
the payment of those •feesby which' the lower classesef • the-
freemen were' prevented partieiliating: in Ore advantages
derived by the rich. This 'was a point that did not require
much logic in its .enfOrceinent, but was plain to, every' man,
and he was sure that, all would agreei that a petition to_ the
council to abolish those:fees 'was Mose'desirable. It would
especially come-with a'goe'Ll
Oraee froln theinuO anhe,town-
council' might vreld with leii-relhcrandeat the present tjm,
iniigmuch as iriviiS,rio. new dnctrine that had been started,
but was awaet • fat Which they no the exaMple of the legis-
lature to back them, and for .thc:perf(irtnance of which they
would have the' gratitude of the petitioners. He then read
the followingelause from the act to Which heihadalluded,
and.the words of 'which, he remarked, were spLippiiatie, that
he did not see how the town-council could av,q Fmnpliance:
• "'Whereas the right and privilege of. the reemen of the
cities and boroughs in England, who have acquired their
fresdont by birth or servitude, to-vote' fo.r Mernbers to serve
inparlianient, have-been confirmed by divers.statutes ; it is
expedient that all impedimentsto the admission of persons
entitled to the freedom of corporations should be removed,
and that the.stariip-duty payable on such admission • should
be abolished:' be it therefore enacted by the Queen's most
excellent. Majesty, by and with the advice and consent of,
thd Lords spiritual and temporal, and Common's; in this pre-
sent parliament assembled, and by the nuthoritv of the same,
that after the passing of this act no stamp 'dirty shall be
chargeable on the admission of am person entitled to take
up his freedom by birth or servitude'in any city orborongh
in Encland returning a member or members to serve in par-
liament." . •

Now, he contended,. (bat as the fees for admission having
still to he paid by the sous of those, men whohad faithfully
' served their apprenticeship to their masters' was a restriction;
an 4 that it went directly against .the spirit and the words of.
the,ict 'Of parliament, Whii:h distinctly specified that, all re-'
stiiptido shoUld ,removed, ',be
_hoped that the rennet!
'on the first application, concede this boon; if they
iefiised, the freemen would, at all events, be enabled the
better to distinguish their friends fronatheir Enemies. lie
wished thein to gketo the freemen only that -which was. their
'rigid, and if it were, denied
:them, he would leaveithete-to
judge who were their friends at:it:INFO, were their foes.' • He•
then movi4 the ad ofd ion of the, fulkishlug petition; and beggt-d
'to qate:that in point of ordericnikult.l be necessary to tranipo
miC if to the inayor; and as that .gentleman bud shnon

renciering own COsiit .ilti•Hhe hoped-that his worship
vi-ouhl lose no time iu exercising his. privilege by laying it'
on the council tablet—, • • •• •

"Gentlemen,--,‘Ve,theuodersignedb.urgesses;andsons and'

..
"Prior to tue•passinguf-the reforin net', 'the parliamentary
franchise was exc/u4voill vested in‘ yont petitioners--in some--
by:actual poSsession,.iu others:by int ho'ale.right---and, until'
the municipal reform bill came into operation, they also pus-
se.ised the power of electing the ChieCtiragistratc;lic.
Whenever a freeinan had established:his claim for admis-
sion, the sum of two r pounds ,was demanded for expenses and
'fees, before he was allowed •to exercise his vide. ''Of this sum
one pound was paid for the requited geternment stamp; two
shillings. were. given •as a.• fee; to. the sergefint-at=mare, one
•shill'ug •to the water-bailiff, and seventeen shillings to the
tow' -clerk:
1,
‘• Tp.n the passing of the reform bill, the right of voting
was extendecl,to all the inhabitants paying raxesupon a house
rated at ten pounds per annum, whilst upon thentunicipal
reform hill becoming,4 Ia w, your petitioners had their local
right of voting entirely taken from I hem, and transferred to
the rate-payers. The registration • fee paid by a' householder
is only pie shilling per annum. , • •
" Your memorialists, therefore, pray that, as the legislature
of the country has now coosiderablyitaken off the stamp duty,
in Consequence of the altered circumstances in which the
freemen are placed, you will also he pleased to direct the re-
peal of those fees which ,wete formerly applied to remunerate
'Officers now paid' out of the funds belonging' to the corporate
'estate.

" In thug seconding the kind..intentions of the houses of
parliament towards the freemen; yon will exercise an ait of
Justice, for which, as in duty bound, your petitioners will ever
&c."
JACKSON said he would detain the•meetingwith one or
two. more observations. If the town-clerk and the other offi
gers were pow paid as formerly, .viz., out of the fees received
,from apprentices for enrolment, it might .be asking too much
to request him to give. them'up ;f but as'the council had taken
the pay into their,own,hands, and the officers-were not now
remunerated front these fees, the fte4inen were'asking only
for pstrticipation in their own ninper estate, an& it therefore
appeared to be; the more reasonable that the humblei classk
„shoulfl ask ferthOse advantages which they coiild not hbtain'
tiniest they were:backed.by,thefinbte able. (Cheeis.)
11,Iri SuAtiP seconded the motion.'
Mr. A.L.t,am deprecated the petitioning 'those for' tights
whom they knew to be theif.enetnies, and moved an amend-
ment to that effect. • • •

The amendment.was not seconded; 'undid! to the ground.
The original, tesolution was carrier/ with three times three
tremendous cheers, and only oneldissentient.

11(4ever just it may' be to :say that they were entitled to.
their. privileges as freemen,:yet it must be admitted that a
great change had taken place, and that they were bound to
obey the law. He would appeal. to the good sense of the
meeting-whether. it: would' not be moreto their interest fni
them to go respectfully to the council with their elaiin than
with any demand, bow that the council had the; power in

POLICE ThTETLIGENCE.

CAUTION TO CAR DRIVERS.--REFUSING TO TAKE A
FAKE.—The driver of a car No. 287; appeared before Mr.
Hall on Tuesday, charged. With having refused to take a fare
from the Zoological gardens. The complainant stated that
was,trt the gardens with a party, and when the exhibition
was over he went out at the gate, fur the purpose of engaging
a car. He found the defendant sto.uding in the road with
.his. car, and- he told him to bring it up to the gate. The
defendant asked where he was required to drive to. He was
told to Soho-street. " Then," said ne "1 wont go; the distance
is too skim"— The complainant, told hint he was bound to
go. He said he would not unless the gentleman wrAuld give
hint three shillings:. He persisted in his refusal, and olti-
thately took another tiarty who required to go :a, greater
distance The defendant sail he had been asked by a gen-
tlerriair and'hislaintiv fo drive them to the gardens.. Ile did
so, arid on Setting. them down he was told to wait, and he
should have the fare when he had .driven them back again.
He Could not therefore go with the complainant,and he told
hint so. He moreover said " the distance.,was _too long, and
not too short." " I have" said he " been to the gentleman,
and he could not come himself, for he 'lives in Cheshire; but
here is a letter from him;—what I say is a fact sir." A dirty,
scrawl, ill written, and folded in a mogt.extraordinary man-
ner, was handed up to Mr. Hall. The latter having opened
-and examined the note said-" What is
.the gentleman's
name ?"- The driver replied.that he did not know the name.
. He had driven for the gentleman many a time for the
last fourteen years, but" h had quite forgotton his name.
" Said Mr. Hall, smiling- at the appearance of the
;note, and the singular writing which it contained, ," What is
his profession? Is he ashopkeeper, or a merchant." -Drivel—
(contemptuously.) " A merchant! Natir,—be'sgentle-
man ! Mr. Hail smiled, and. read the note, which was,aci-
dressed—:" To) Mr. Hall, Siting Magestrare." It, ran as
killows:—" To Mr. Hall) Sir) This is to Certify that I. en-
-gaged the Driver of No 287. Stand Coach, belonging to Mr.
Leonard,-to take myself and Fatnily to. the Zological gardens
'on Thursday night, last and to bring my Family back.to the
_Georges Peer Head to go over to Woodside, residing there
on a .Tower of Pleasure. I remain, &e." The defendant
Was fined 10s. and costs.

1 STEALING, GI. AsSES.—Yestetday at. the Police-office, a
female with a child in her arms was placed at the bar,-charged
b.4A policeman, 93,: with having a number 'of glasses, bearing
tublican's names, in her possession. The policeman stated
hat on Wedoesd'ay afternoon 'he received information while
on dilly in Dale-street, that the prisoner; living in a cellar in
Epritenoy-street, had a great. number of glasses in her pos-
sessiyn, and he went there and saw a large-number with pub-
iicans' names on them, and others with the names ground
out, and he accordingly took the prisoner into custody, and
seized,the glasses. Several publicans spoke to some of the
glasses produced being their property. The prisoner in de-
fence said, that about twelve months ago she was confined to
her bed by sickness„ and at that.tium„had some glasses in a
cupboard; and a_ woman liVing in the sa.ntehouse named-Gard-
ner, diked' her if she would lend her a few glasses, and she
to'd her she might have those in the cupboard, -and sometime
af.er she brought' her back a' nunal,er .of glasses which were
placed in the cupboard, she (prisoner) beingstjll sick in bed.
When she recovered:she found theglasses produced .had been
sithstituted .for liar's, and we's. fold that the woman Gardnerhad sent them. Gardner had then left the house. She sup-
ported herselfand four children bYeork cutting, and nothing
disgraceful was ever knewn against. her.. Mr. Hall said he
would have some enquiry made into it, and remanded her.
CAUTION To ArenENTlcEs.--.Yesterday, at the police-
office, an apprentice named Peter Burns, working with Mr.
Weber, iron-founder, was placed before the magistrates,
charged. with absenting himself from his 'naciater's. employ-
ment. Not. having answered the magistrate's summons, -he
was apprehended under a yvarrant.', His .master stated that
this was the second time" he had had him before the magis-
trates;, he. was A. very bad lad, and led the lather apprentices
into'neglectuf duty. On Moriday afternoon he.absented him-
self frem'his wOrk'withOut leave, and in consequence a large
moulding on which he had. been employed was spoilt.- Mr.
.Hall said it-was very Unpleasant to send apprentices to the
.House of:Correction, and he had always avoided it when. he
couttl;'htit 'there were some cases when it was necessary. The
pris.e,iieratist go for two months to the House of Correction.
f: -Asset ii at the police-office, an American
sailor, named Cornelius Power, belonging to the American
•sdssel Henry Took, appeared to, prefer a complaint against
the two mates, Thomas Hunt and Thomas Wallace, for as-
saulting and beating him. The complainant appeared with a
large plaster over one side of his head, and his fronticepiece
otherwise grievously damaged. The complainant then stated
that, on Tuesday Morning about seven o'clock, he was in the
forecastle of the ship; when
_the-two mates came for'ard and
au gout to " turn out." He told Mr. Hunt he was not able
.tolturn out that morning, asbe had been on "a bit of a spree"
the day before. He had no sooner . said this than the first
thing he knew,was one of the mates kicking him as hard as
he could;and the other beating him with a marling-spike, till.
his head was in the condition, in which it then appeared.
The defendant Hunt said that, on Monday, the complainant
Vril!S drunk and fighting, and got his injuries from fighting ;
and, on Tuesday morning, •when ordered to go to his duty;
his reply was, " When any bud owes a thing, he likes to
ha've it paid; now, I'm going out of the ship to lick those,
who licked me last -night." He ordered him to " turn to,"
'and he said he. would not, and lie in consequence took hold
of him and said he should not stop in the forecastle. Ttfe •
complainant immediately jumped out of his berth and threat- •
ehed to take his life, and said he would .have his heart's
blOod ;, he (defendant) accordingly defended himself as well
as he Could, but did no injury to the man; Mr, Hall said,
whenbe,granted tho summons, the man's head was streatn-, '
in;' with' bleed. The mate said he' had not done: it. ' Mr.. "
Hall -:".Do you think he did it purposely hinutelfr' Mate.; i.
