AT a MEETING with reference to the DISSENTERS
CHAPELS BILL, held in the Charitable Institu-
tion House, Slater-street, Liverpool, on THURSDAY,
May 30, 1844,
EDWARD CROPPER, Esq., in the Chair.
1- Moved by the Rev. Dr. TATTBRSHALL, seconded
by THOMAS BLACKBURN, Esq., and supported by the
Rev. A. E. FARRAR,
That this Meeting has learned with extreme regret and
alarm, that a Bill has been sent down from the Lords to
the Commons House of Parliament, intituled " An Act
for the Regulation of Suits relating to Meeting Houses
and other Property, held for religious purposes, by persons
dissenting from the Church of England ;"—because
measure, if passed into a law, will perpetuate an extensive
diversion of Chapel Property and other Charitable Insti-
tutions from the purposes for which, by founders holding
Trinitarian sentiments, they were originally endowed, for
the use of the present Unitarian occupants, whose tenets
are completely at variance with those for the preservation
and propagation of which those benefactions were intended
and made; and because the manifest tendency and design
of that measure is to intercept the course of justice, and
to set aside the precedents of the Courts of Law, as these
are explicitly affirmed in the judgment of the highest legal
°facer in the realm :—" That the intention of ti e founders,
where it can be ascertained by means consistent with the
!lees of legal intern:- •t tton, shall govern and regulate the
*aelinistration of; :1:i :able trusts."
Carried una-a.
. Moved by Rev. F. PARRY, 8.D., seconded by
the Rev. C. M. ;r;
.otELE, ands upported by the Rev. Dr,
tArnts,
That, as a'. t :1 .amount of Property intended for the
use Of Trinisari Dissenters in Great Britain and Ireland
will be injario y affected by this unprecedented measure,
'this Meeting cannot withhold its deliberate and solemn
protest against it, or any similar enactment by which the
I,ta,,ate of the law on this subject may be violently disturbed,
--"
t,„, the manifest perversion of 'Trinitarian funds to Uni-
-r'ag purposes legalized :—This Meeting cannot but re-
gard the Bill in question as furnishing a most dangerous
Precedent by the recognition-,in its fundamental principle,
st„be mere fact of possession for a limited term of years,
WirLall title to perpetual niatiersation ;—a procedure
'", 131' shielding the breach of trust from every legal
nquiry, endangers the provisions of all trust deeds which
now exist, or which may be hereafter provided.
tr Carried unanimously.
3. Moved by the Rev. JoarN KELLY, seconded.by JOHN
CROPPER, Esq., jun., and supported by the Rev. Mr.
HARGREAVES. _ _

That this Meeting, in conformity with the :foregoing
resolutions, adopts the followinz Petition, to be signed by
the Chairman on behalf of the Meeting :

TO THE HONOURABLE THE COMMONS OF THE UNITED
KINGDOM OF GREAT BRITAIN AND IRELAND IN
PARLIAML-NT ASSEMBLED

The Petition of a General Meeting of Ministersof various
Evangelical denominations of Christians and other In-
habitants of Liverpool and its vicinity, held on Thurs-
day, May the 30th, 1814.
SHOWETH,
That your Petitioners have examined the provisions of
a Bill sent down to your Honourable House, intituled
" An Act for the Regulation of Suits relating to Meeting
Houses and other Property, held for religions purposes,
by persons dissenting from the Church of England."
Your
Petitioners beg to represent to your •Honourable
House. that certain Places of Worship and Charitable
Institutions, with which large sums of money are con-
nected, and which were-founded or endowed by English
and Irish Dissenters holding Trinitarian sentiments, have,
by various means, passed into the hands of 'Unitarians,
who have deviated from the religious principles of the
founders, [Lid for the maintenance and propagation of
Which it cannot be doubted these benefactions were pro-
vided. •
Your Petitioners cannot but regard the aforesaid mea-
sure with the utmost disapprobation and alarm, as a den-
ger'cua interference with the established course of law and
Justice
;—since, if placed upon the Statute Book, it will
Fender the mere fact of possession for a term of years,
irrespective of the legitimate appropriation of such pro-
perty, a valid title to its retention, and afford a precedent
Which will Place in jeopardy the provisions of trust deeds ready in
consti-
tuted, --
existence, or which may be hereafter

Your Petitioners enter their decided and solemn protest
against such a measure, because it sets aside the equitable
principle heretofore held sacred by the Courts of Law,
and confirmed by the highest judicial authority us the
realm :—" That the intention of the founders, where it
can be ascertained by means consistent with the rules of
legal interpretation, shall govern and regulate the admi-
nistration of charitable: trusts ;"—and because it legalizes
a perpetual injustice by prohibiting all inquiry into the
manifest breaches of trust by which Unitarians employ the
funds established by Trinitarians for the propagation of
doctrines of which their ow are utterly subversive.
Your Petitioners, therefore, earnestly pray your Ho-
nourable House to reject the said Bill, or any other mea-
sure calculated to unsettle the existing law with reference
to the Constitution of Charitable 'Trusts in the United
Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland.
And your Petitioners will ever pray, &c.
Carried unanimously.
4. Moved by the Rev. Thomas NoLkx, and seconded
by the Rev. Mr. WELSH,
That the Petition be presented to the House of Com-
mons by the Right Honourable Lord Sandon, and that
Sir Howard Douglas be requested to support its prayer.
Carried unanimously.
5. Moved by the Rev. Dr. CiticHTON, and seconded
by the Rev. Mr. WOLSENHOLME,
That a Committee be formed, consisting of the Revs.
P. Parry, W. Bevan, C. M. Birrell, George Pridie, with
the Chairman. William Crosfield, and John Cropper,
Esq., it'll., (Treasurer to the Committee,) to advertise the
