A T a PUBLIC MEETING of the INHABITANTS of the
111. BOROUGH. of LIVERPOOL, convened at the ADIPHI,
THEATRE, On FRIDAY, the 20th instant, by the WORSHIPFUL
the MAYOR, (in compliance with a Requisition numerously and
respectably signed,) for the purpose of taking into eonsideratiota
and determining upon a Petition to Parliament in favour of Sir
EA R [MEI' WiLmot's Motion for the immediate and entire
ABOLITION of the NEGRO A PPR EN_,T IC ES II I P,
On the Motion of the Rev. J. J. CARRUTHERS, seconded by
the Rev. W. BEVAN, and supported by W. T. BLAIR, Esq., of
Bath,
It was unanimously Resolved,
First.—That this Meeting deeply regret the attempt that has
been made to divert the friends of the Negro from seeking his
immediate emancipation, by the introduction of the Bill of the
Colonial Secretary, intituled An Act to amend an Act for the
Abolition of Shivery in the British Colonies;" that, in their
estimation, the prioiisions of that bill are altogether unsatisfac-
tory -and inoperative; and that they are determined never to rest
satisfied with any measure which shall continue Slavery, with
an v modification, under the fallacious name of
.ApprenticeshiP.
On the motion of ADAM HoncsoN, Esq., seconded by the
Rev. J. H. SQUANCE, supported by JOHN SCOBLE, Esq., of
London,
- -

It was unanimously Resolved,
Secondly:—That this Meeting regard the endeavour to set
aside the Motion of Sir George Strickland, and the advantage
taken of that opportunity to press .forward the Bill then before
the House of Commons, together with the abrupt termination
of the debate, when the partial statements of the advocates of
the Colonists were in a great measure unanswered, as mani-
festly calculated to prejudice the decision of the question, in
opposition to the prayer Of numerous petitioners ; and t bat the
further discussion of their claims fur the speedy and uncondi-
tional abolition of their Apprenticeship is, therefore, rendered
absolutely necessary.

On the motion of the Rev. 11. M'NEILE, seconded by THOS.
BLACKBURN, Esq.,
It Was unanimously ligsolved,
Thirdly.—That this Meeting consider the flagrant violations
of the Imperial Act of 1833, which ale admitted by the noble
lord, the Secretaty for the colonies, to hsve occurred both in
colonial statutes, and in the conduct of many of the planters,
as again requiring them to press the termination of a system so
liable to perversion, and so fraught with occasions of oppres-
sion; while the experience of the colonies in which the full
measure of freedom has been enjoyed, and the coufidence of
those proprietors who have ordert-d the liberation of their ap-
prentites, abundantly prove the propriety of the demand, since
the negroes are prepared to appreciate and improve a state of
perfect liberty.
On the Motion of the Rev. D. KING, of Glasgow, seconded
by the Rev. JAS. LISTER,
It was unanimously resolved,
Fourthly.—'That this meeting are rejoiced to learn, that
the
Eardley Wilmot has been so far restored to health as to place
upon the Books of the House notice of a Motion, ih which h
principle embodied in the petitions presented to Parliament is
fully recognised; and they call upon their representatives,
whenever that motion shall be brought forward, faithfully to
express, by their votes, the sentiments so strongly declared by a
large body of their constituents, who, casting aside every dif-
ference, of opinion on other matters, are unanimous in their
soleinn purpose to rest satisfied with no enactment which fails
to confer, forthwith, entire freedom on every negro subject of
the British empire.
A Petition to the effect of the foregoing Resolutions, having
been read by the Town-clerk,
It was unanimously resolved, nn the Motion of the Rev. JOHN
KELLY, seconded by the Rev. Dr. RAFFLES,
Fiflilly.—That. the Petition now read be signed on behalf of
this Meeting by the worshipful the Mayor; and that Sir Eard-
ley Wilmot be respectfully requested to present the same to
the House of Commons. -
