To the Honourable the Commons of the United Kingdom of Great
Ilcitain and Ireland, in Parliament assembled. _
The humble Petition of the undersigned Sons of Freemen,
Apprentices' of- Freemen, and other Persons claiming Right
to the Freedom of the Borough of Liverpool,
SHEIVETH,
That your Petitioners have observed with nlarm in the Bill
introduced into your Honourable House, '° To provide for the
Regulation of Municipal Corporations in England and Wales,",
those clauses and provisions which affect the rights of the Free-
men of ancient Boroughs.
That your Petitioners especially complain of the grievous
effect of that. clause which excludes from certain Rights, Pri-
vileges, and Exemptions from Tolls and Dues, to which Free.-
men have been hitherto entitled, all persons who have not,been
made Freemen before the fifth day of dune, in the present year,
and thus disappoints, by an arbitrary date, the just expectations
of those who, by birth or servitude, were becoming entitled to
the Franchise.
That your Petitioners, the Sons of Freemen, would respect-
fully state to your Honourable House, that by the Charters of
the Borough of Liverpool the Son of a Freeman, who is born
within the ancient Borough, acquires, at the moment of his
birth, an inchoate right to his future. Freedom, complete and
perfected by enrolment on his attaining.the age of twenty-one
years. That the hope of obtaining-this privilege has induced
many of your Petitioners to consider this Borough as their resi-
dence fur life, resting their hopes of advancement in a place
where, by the existing Laws, they were led to suppose they
should enjoy those Rights, Privileges, and Exemptions which
have been hitherto possessed by the Freemen of this ancient
Borough. ,
That your Petitioners, who are Apprentices of Freemen in
the Borough of Liverpool, would respectfully state to your
Honourable House, that they have bound themselves to serve
their Masters during a period of seven years in the expectation
of becoming Freemen; and in this expectation they did not
hesitate to bind themselves for so long a period, although a less
would have enabled them to become perfect in their respective
Professions and Trades, and in many instances they have been
contented to receive very trilling wages,-taking into considera-
tion the Privileges and Exemptions to which they would become
entitled as Freemen of this Borough. , .
That many of your Petitioners, Soused' Freemen and Appren-
tices, have very nearly attained the age of twenty-one years, and
others nearly: served their full period of seven years, and upon
these would -press with peculiar hardship, the arbitrary depriva-
, tum contemplated by the above Bill. Your petitioners, there-
fore, wonld respectfully submit to your Honotirable House, that,
as a full measure of justice, all Sous of Freemen, born at the
time the said Bill was brought
,into your Honourable House,
and all Apprentices now serving their time,. should be entitled,
as heretufore, at the age of Minty-one, and at the end of their
servitude, respectively, to acquire the enjoyment of the ancient
Franchise.
That some of your Petitioners had, previously to the fifth day
of June last, attained their full age of twenty-one. years, and
others had completed the full period of their servitude, but not
apprehending so sudden and. extraordinary -a eliange in the •
law, they had omitted to become enrolled as Freemen of this
Borough; that they never could have supposed that, without
any notice whatever, they would thus be debarred from acquir-
ing the full possession of their privileges, and they confidently
trust that you honourable house will never sanction a law which
will deprive your Petitioners of what they humbly submit is, in
them; & vested right.
That your Petitioners thus humbly and respectfully venture,
to complain to your Honourable House of the hardship about to
be inflicted upon them, by the provisions of the above Bill, and
they confidently hope, that your Honourable House, in legislat-
ing for the Kingdom at large, will, in the exercise Of its wisdem
and justice, maintain the rights and privileges of the younger
portion of this community, who look up to Parliament as their
natural Guardians and Protectors. , • . .
Your Petitioners therefore hnmbly pray, that your Honour,
able House will refuse to assent to those Clauses of the
Bill, which exclude from the privileges of Freemen, all
those. Persons who were not enrolled before the fifth day
of June in the present year, and that your Honourable
House will preserve to y Petitioners their rights and
privileges in as full and ample a manner as the same have
hitherto been enjoyed by their predecessors in the Borough
of Liverpool.
And your Petitioners further pray, that they may he heard
at the Bar of your Honourable House, by. themselves, their
Counsel, Agents, and Witnesses, against such of the
Clauses and Provisions of the said Bill, as affect your Pe-
titioners.
And your Petitioners will ever pray, &c.

TO the'Honourable the Commons of the Unite
Great Britain arid Ireland, in Parliament ass
The humble Petition -.of' the -undersigned NI rchants; Ship.
owneii, and other Inhabitants of Liverpoo l
Slieweth,
riiHAT your Petitioners have obsery with alarm that a
_l_ Committee has been appointed by ur honourable house,
to take into consideration the Duti n Timber, with a view,
'as your. Petitieners• are led -to bell e, of making a material
alteration in the relative duties on Baltic and Colonial Timber.
That your Petitioners respectfullysubmit to your honourable
house, that any alteration in the Duties, whereby Cohinial
Timber would lie brought into the market under less favourable
circumstances than at present, would be not only detrimental
to the consumer in this country, but also extremely injurious to
the colonies and to the prosperity of the empire at large.
That, by the present scale of Duties on Baltic and Colonial
Timber, the prices are brought to such a level, that each de-
scription is in faircompetitiou, and the wants of the consumer
are readily supplied at a reasonable gist; but your Petitioners
believe that any alteration in the Duty in favour of 'Baltic
would at once check the impartation of Colonial Timber, and
deprive the consumer of the benefit of such competition.
That the attention of your Petitioners is, more particularly
called to the benefit derived from this state of the market, by
viewing the present activity of the commercial and manufac-
turing districts of this country,- and the erection of numerous•.
warehouses, factories, and other buildings connected with trade,
and they foresee in the further increase of tbese.the advantage
to be derived from having a •cheap and constant supply of
Timber.

'Kingthim o

That your Petitioners apprehend that the consequences to
the British Coldnies in North America of such an alteration in
the Duties would'be ruinous in the extreme, that the measure
would have the effect of throwing out of employment a great
mass of the population et-to-aged in procuring and preparing
-Wood for the British Market—would check the operations of
the numerous emigrants who have proceeded thither, and de-
feat their hopes of a comfortable settlement in those colonies
—would he luinous to persons who have embarked their for-
tunes in the erection of sawmills and works connected with the
cutting of Timber—and would materially tend to promote that
spirit of disaffection which your Petitioners observe, with re-
gret, exists in a portion of our North American Colonies.
That your Petitioners, contemplating, in a national point of
view, the results of such an alteration, cannot conceal their ap-
prehensions that it would most seriously affect the prosperity
of the shipping interest of this country and ultimately impair
its maritime strength ; that at the present period upwards of
450,000 tuns of airitish shipping and 20,000 sailors are employed.
annually in the trade .between this country and her North
American Colonies, and your Petitioners would respectfully
remind your honourable house, that this trade has always been
considered one of the great nurseries for our seamen, and that
any diminution of it must tend to impair the maritime strength
of Great. Britain; and your Petitioners are fully convinced
that, should this employment of British shipping be withdrawn,
the distress of the British shipowner, great as it already is,
would be materially increased.
That your Petitioners humbly submit that the diminution of
the export of timber from the colonies would have a serious effect
upon the manufacturing interests of this country; and they
would remind. your honourable house that, while the countries
in Europe from whence timber is imported take scarcely any,
of our manufactured goods, our colonial possessions in America
receive their whole supply from this country.
That the British shipping employed in the trade between this
country and her colonies in North America gives, great employ-
ment to the shipwrights, sailmakers, .ropers, and. ether trades,
nut only in our ports, but also in the manufacturing towns in
the interior; and it is well known that the artisans in this
country derive no benefit from foreign ships bringing timber,
the fittings and repairs of the latter being inveriabiy completed
in their own ports, and your Petitioners woulu state to. your
honourable house, that nearly all the timber imported iuto this
port from the Baltic is brought iu foreign vessels.
Your Petitioners therefore humbly pray that your, honour-
able house will withhold your assent- to any bill, fur• aktering
the Duties. on Baltic and Colonial Timber.
And your Petitioners will ever pray,
