WORKING MEN'S REFORMATION
SOCIETY,
Under the Patronage of Mr. Alderman EDMUND
MOLY NEUX.
At a PUBLIC MEETING, held in the Society's Room,
Beau-street, on FRIDAY EVENING last, Lord IPatmerston's
avowed intention of endowing Roman Catholic Priests to
perform the superstitious and idolatrous rites of the Apos,
tate Church in our Prisons and Hulks was brought under
consideration, and the following Petition to the Legislature
submitted and unanimously adopted

"To the Honourable the Commons of the United Kingdom of
Great Britain and Ireland, in Parliament assembled.
"The Petition of the undersigned Working Men, residing
in the Borough of Liverpool, humbly Shemeth,
"That your Petitioners beg to approach your Honourable
House with sentiments of loyalty to our most beloved Queen,
and with feelings of deep veneration for the Protestant Insti-
tutions as by law established within these realms.
"That your Petitioners, believing those Institutions to have
been established on the sound basis of the Protestant Re-
formation, and that they have conferred blessings which the
subjects of no other country enjoy, feel deeply solicitous that
they remain unimpaired.
"That, while your Petitioners would perpetuate the reli-
gious toleration which is characteristic of the English nation,
your Petitioners venture to submit to your Honourable House
the danger likely to arise to those Institutions from the ap-
pointment of Roman Catholic Chaplains to our Gaols, or to
the Navy or Army, inasmuch as your Petitioners believe
that that religion only aows authorities by permission, the
head of which is professedly above Kings and Princes ; and
to beg that your Honourable House will interpose the au-
thority of the Legislature, in order that the Priests of the
Romish Church should not be paid oat of the funds of the
State, nor permitted to interfere, in any way, with the reli-
gious worship carried on within any of the public buildings
of the United Kingdom.
" And your Petitioners will ever pray."

I In submitting the above petition to the working men of
Liverpool, we feel that no explanation is necessary. All who
assert and maintain the universal supremacy of the Queen of
England within these realms, and renounce, abjure, and de-
test any allegiance whatever to any foreign power or poten-
tate, ecclesiastical or civil, will protest against the introduc-
tion of Romish priests into prisons or elsewhere, by her
Majesty's Government, to teach that religion which Her
Majesty has sworn to be superstitious and idolatrous. All
real loyalists must believe that the support given by Parlia-
ment to this idolatrous system is a dishonour to the British
Senate, and a disgrace to this free and Protestant nation.
All who love true religion and genuine liberty know that
Popery is essentially opposed to the genius of both, being
immoral in its principles, injurious to the well-being of
society, and subversive Of the Protestant institutions and the
established religion of England.
We therefore appeal to all real loyalists, and to every sin-
cere Christian man in Liverpool, and earnestly invite them
to lose no time, but at once sign the petition to stop further
trimming and compromise with Romish priests, who lack
but the power to rekindle in England the fires of Smithfield,
and to re-enact in Ireland the murderous and perfidious
scenes of 1641 and 1795.

J. PARSONAGE, President.
JNO. BENNETT, Hon. Sec.
THE PETITION LIES FOR SIGNATURE at the STAN
DARD Office; at the INSTITUTE, Beau-street; at the SECRE-
TARY'S, 60, Great Homer-street, and in various parts of the
town.
