AT a PUBLIC MEETING of the INHABITANTS of
the BOROUGH of LIVERPOOL, held in the SES-
SIONS-HOUSE, on THURSDAY, the 9th day of January, 1840,
called by the MAYOR, by public advertise Tent, in compliance
with a requisition numerously and respictably signed, to
take into consideration the propriety of IPetitioning the Le-
gislature for an alteration in the Laws affecting the importa-
tion of Foreign Corn,

JOSHUA WALMSLEY, ESQ., MAYOR, IN THE CHAIR,
On the motion of THOMAS THORNELY,ESq., M.P., seconded
by WILLIAM EARLE, Esq.,

It was Resolved,
That the experience of every succeeding year more clearly
demonstrates the baneful operation of those restrictions on
the importation of food, which unhappily are enforced by the
laws of this country, as alike injurious to our commercial
and manufacturing prosperity, and dangerous to our political
and social safety.

On the motion of WILLIAM RATHBONE, Esq., seconded by
WILLIAM BROWN, Esq.,
It was Resolved,
That these Laws, by preventing a regular and healthful ex-
change of our manufactures for the most important of all
raw materials, and by forcing upon us, for the supply of our
urgent wants in times of scarcity, the fitful and violent ope-
ration of occasional imports of grain, which can be paid for
only by a sudden and excessive drain of gold—have been
mainly instrumental in deranging our monetary system, in
depressing trade and manufactures, and in subverting the
equilibrium of the whole range of our commercial relations.
On the motion of JAMES AIKIN. Esq., seconded by HENRY
BOOTH, Esq.,
It was Resolved,

That the Corn-laws have the double effect of raising the
price of food in this country, and of reducing it in other
countries, thereby acting at once as a tax on our productive
industry, and a bounty on that of other nations, who, though
once our customers, by our refusal to take their produce
have been forced to become our competitors in trade; and
who, notwithstanding the capital, skill, mineral wealth, and
other great natural advantages possessed by us, are now sup-
plying. foreign markets with many articles formerly supplied
exclusively by this country.
On the motion of THOMAS BOLTON, Esq., seconded by
VINCENT HIGGINS, Esq.,
It was Resolved,

- •
That the evils of these Laws are most appalling when we
contemplate the injustice and misery which they inflict on
the great mass of our population, by curtailing the demand
for labour, and thereby reducing the rate of wages, by ex-
cluding good corn when most needed, except at high duties :
because bad corn is at a low price, and thereby limiting the
people to a pittance of unsound food, while other nations
have abundance of the best, which they are ready to give in
exchange for the products of our suffering industry.
On the motion of THOMAS BLACKBURN, Esq., seconded by
JAMES MULLENEUX, Esq.,
It was Resolved,
That as the only real security for the peace and welfare of
all social states, is, a community of interests between the
people and the government, there is great danger as well as
great injustice in Laws which interfere with the most sacred
and inalienable right of every individual, to procure the ne-
cessaries of life by the honest exercise of those powers of
body and mind which are his special and often his only pro-
perty.
On the motion of CHARLES HOLLAND, Esq., seconded by
JAMES MELLOR, ESQ.,
It was Resolved,
That it is the imperative duty of the people respectfully
but firmly, to represent to the Legislature, the hardships to
which they have been so long subjected by a partial and ex-
clusive system, and to pray that such measures be adopted
as may give immediate and effectual relief from the great and
growing evils complained of, and thus secure the peace, pros-
perity, and happiness of all classes of the British people.
On the motion of W. W. CURRIE, Esq., seconded by Mr.
LAWRENCE HEYWORTH,
It was Resolved,
That petitions to both Houses of Parliament, embodying
the foregoing resolutions, be adopted.
On the notion of CHRISTOPHER RAWDON, Esq., seconded
by GEORGE LOCH, Esq.,
_ _

It teas Resolved,
That the Petition to the House of Lords be forwarded to
the Lord Lieutenant of the County and the Earl of Sefton ;
that to the Commons, to the Members of the Borough for
presentation, with a request that they will support the prayer
of the Petition.

On the motion of RICHARD SHEIL, Esq., seconded by
FRANCIS JORDAN, Esq.,

It was Resolved,
That an Anti-corn Law Association be formed in Li-
verpool, to consist of the Requisitionists, with power to add
to their numbers.
JOSHUA WALMSLEY, Mayor.
On the motion of JoHN RossoN, Esq., carried by accla-

mation,

It was Resolved,
That the cordial thanks of this Meeting are given to the
Mayor for his able and impartial conduct in presiding over
his meeting.
