HOUSE

A T a PUBLIC MEETING of " The LIVERPOOL
/X COTTAGE OWNERS' ASSOCIATION," held at
the House of Mr. PRESCOTT, the Swan Inn, in London-
road, on THURSDAY, the 20th May, 1841,
EDWARD FORD, Esq., in the Chair,
the following Resolutions were unanimously passed :
Moved by Mr. EPHRAIM KNAPPER, seconded by Mr. JOHN

That this Meeting has learnt with regret, that two Bills,
severally entitled, " An Act for the better Drainage of large
Towns and Villages," and " An 4 Act for regulating Buildings
in large Towns,' are now before the House of Commons,
the enactment of which must be detrimental to the interests
of the Owners and Occupiers of Hbuse and Cottage Property,
and subversive of the purposes which the projectors of these
measures profess themselves desirous to attain.
Moved by Mr. WILLIAM DUCKWORTH, seconded by Mr.
T. C. BEW,

That a Petition be presented to the House of Commons,
respectfully and earnestly requesting that the Borough of
Liverpool may be exempted from the operations of these
Bills.

Moved by Mr. THOMAS BAKER, seconded by Mr. EPHRAIM

KNAPPER,
That the collowing Petition, now read, be adopted, and lie

for signature

" Petition to the Honourable the House of Commons of
Great Britain and Ireland in Parliament assembled.
" THE HUMBLE PETITION OF THE UNDERSIGNED OWNERS

OF HOUSES AND BUILDING LAND IN THE BOROUGH

OF LIVERPOOL

SFIOWETH,

" That your petitioners regret to have learnt that a bill, en-
titled An Act for the Better Drainage of Large Towns and
Villages,' and a bill, entitled ' An Act for Regulating Build-
ings in Large Towns,' are now before your honourable house.
" Your petitioners humbly submit to the consideration of
your honourable house, that, whereas these bills are recom-
mended to your adoption by the pretext, that the provisions
of them will afford an accession to the comforts and an
additional protection to the health of the occupiers of Cottage
tenements ; ymir petitioners, who are practically conversant
with the necessities and habits of the tenants of small
dwellings are confidently assured, that the enactment of the
measures against which your petitioners venture to protest,
must inevitably abridge the comforts and impair the health
of the lower classes of the commuity.

" Your petitioners respectfully suggest, that, as it is pro-
posed to compel owners and builders to expend an additional
outlay, for which they can only be reimbursed by a corres-
ponding advance of rental, the occupants to whom, existing
legislation allows the undivided possession of their respected
habitations, must of necessity become with other families
the joint inmates of the same abode, exposed to an increased
risk of contagion, and deprived of many of the conveniences
which they previously enjoyed.
" Your petitioners respectfully remind your honorable house
that, the erection of buildings within the limits of this borough
is controled by the restrictions of local acts, which, your peti-
tioners humbly conceive, do efficiently fulfil the intentions of
the projected bills, so far as those intentions can be consi-
dered practicable or desirable.
"Your petitioners humbly submit that, the borough of
Liverpool is entitled to exemption from the operations of the
proposed acts.
" Your petitioners, therefore, pray that they may be al-
lowed to be heard by counsel at, the bar of your honorable
house, against the "Act for the better drainage of large
towns and villages," nad the " Act for regulating buildings
in large towns.

" And your petitioners will ever pray."
Moved by Mr. FORBES, seconded by Mr. WILLIAMS,
That a Subscription be entered into to defray the necessary
Expenses which the Opposition this Meeting contemplates
may entail.

Moved by Mr. SOLOMON GIBSON, seconded by Mr.

SHEANE,

That the Resolutions of this Meeting be inserted once in
each of the Liverpool papers.

MILK PUNCH ROYAL !

MANUFACTURER OF MILK PUNCH TO HER
MAJESTY.

THIS uni,;:le and nectarious Liqueur has, for nearly a
century, I'm 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 the 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 transeendant 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
