AT a MEETING with reference to the DISSENTERS
CHAPELS BILL, held in the Charitable Institu-

EDWA.RD CROPPER, Esq., in the Chair.
, 1. Moved by the Rev. Dr. TATTERSTIALL, 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
dtssenting from the Church of England ;"—because
rileature, 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
made ; and because the manifest tendency and design
9 that measure is to intercept the course of justice, and
to set
aside the precedents of the Courts of Law, as these
citly affirmed in the judgment of the highest legal
In the sv realm That the intention of tt e founders,
uere it can be ascertained by means consistent with the
rules of legal interpr t tion, shall govern and regulate the
administration of : t:I table trusts."

That, as t. t • amount of Property intended for the
use of Dissenters in Great Britain and Ireland

against it, or any similar enactment by which the

perversion of Trinitarian funds to Uni-

-13111 in question as furnishing a most dangerous
Precedent by the recognition, in its fundamental principle,
Of the mere fact of possession for a limited term of years,
as a valid title to perpetual malversation ;—a procedure
by shielding the breach of trust from every legal
inquiry, endangers the provisions of all trust deeds which
now exist, or which may be hereafter provided.
Carried unanimously. •

3. Moved by the Rev. JOHN 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 following 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
PARLIAMENT ASSEMBLED
The Petition of a Geroral Meeting of Ministers of various
Evangelical denominations of Christians and other In-
habitants of Liverpool and its vicinity, held on Thurs-
day, May the 30th, 1814.
SHOIVETH,
That your Petitioners have examined the provisions of
Bill Sent down to your Honourable House, intituled
"
_oAn Act for the Regulation of Suits relating to Meeting
uses and other Property, held for religious purposes,
by Persons dissenting from the Church of England."
Your Petitioners beg to represent to your Honourable
iHnostiuse..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
abajhi!li Dissenters holding Trinitarian sentiments, have,
Y various means, passed into the hands of Unitarians,
7h° have deviated from the religious principles of the
vv°}lnined,e.r,a, aod for the maintenance and propagation of
it cannot be doubted these benefactions were pro-
vided.
Your Petitioners cannot but regard the aforesaid mea-
sure with the utmost disanprobation and alarm, as a dan-
igueartoire
;_since,interference if
with the established course of law and
placed upon the Statute Book, it will
render 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
whichalread will place in jeopardy the provisions of trust deeds
in existence, or which may be hereafter consti-
tuted. --
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 in 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 NOLAN. , and seconded
by the Rev. Mr. WELSH,
That the Petition be presented to the House of Com-
Mons by tile Right Honourable Lord Sandon, and that
Sir Howard Douglas be requested to support its prayer.
Carried unanimously.
5. Moved by the Rev. Dr. CRICHTON, and seconded
by the Rev. Mr. WoLsENttonuE,
That a Committee be formed, consisting of the Revs.
P. Parry, W. Bevan, C. M. Birrell, George Pridie, with
the
cilhitaitorr7san, William Crosfield, and John Cropper,
Res(Treasurer to the Committee,) to advertise the
