PROCESSIONS

AT a MEETING of the MAG I STRATES of the Borough
'of Liverpool, holden on FRIDAY, the 10th day of
March, 1843,

PRESENT,

ROBERTSON GLADSTON 1?,, Esq., Mayor,
IN THE CHAIR,
the Mayor laid before the Meeting a Letter from Mr. Richard
Feeney, relative to a Procession of the Hibernian Societies
on St. Patrick's Day, of which Letter the following is an
extract :

" The Deputies beg to know if your Worship will permit
a procession on St. Patrick's Day, or, if one be formed,
whether your Worship will stop it, as we would be sorry, as
Irishmen, to violate the law; so we await your Worship's
answer, in order that it may be communicated to the mem-
bers of the different Societies who usual.y celebrate that
day." _

The Resolutions of the Magistrates, adopted at a Meeting
on the 25th June last, was read as follows :
" Resolved,—That the Mayor and Magistrates strongly
disapprove of the Procession of the Loyal Orange Associa-
tion, with Banners and Enalilems, proposed by their resolu-
tions of the 23d instant, transmitted to the Mayor.

--.7That the Mayor and Magistrates equally disapprove of
any similar Processions of any other Associations, now, or
at any future time.

" That, with regard to the proposition this day laid before
the Mayor, on behalf of the Loyal Orange Association, of a
Procession to Church on the 12th of July, without Banners
or Emblems, the Mayor and Magistrates are of opinion,
that Processions of any persons, on days remarkable in our
history for, the triumphs of sects or parties, ought to be
avoided ; and they most strongly advise the Orangemen not
to form any Procession on the 12th of January, such a course
being likely, in the opinion of the Mayor and Magistrates, to
lead to a breach of the peace.

"The expression of the disapproval of such Processions,
by the Mayor and Magistrates, will be communicated to all
other societies who are in the habit of assembling for the
celebration of party triumphs."
The following Resolution of the Magistrates, at a Meeting
on the 22d July last, was also read :
. _

.
" Resolved.—That the Mayor and Magistrates have re-
ceived, with regret, the announcement of the Druids' and the
Total Abstinence Societies as to their Procession. Thlt the
Mayor and Magistrates laboured anxiously to induce the
Orangemen not to walk on the 12th of July; and they have
much pleasure in stating, that the Orange Societies yielded
to the anxious advice of the Mayor and Magistrates, and
gave up their Procession. That the Mayor and Magistrates
on that occasion pledged themselves on all opportunities to
use their best endeavours to prevent any Processions in
future, inasmuch as many of them are calculated tJ keep
alive party excitement, and to endanger the public peace.
That the Magistrates have thought it proper to make the
Resolution GENERAL. That they, therefore, have strongly
advised that there should not be any Procession on the Ist of
August."
And it was resolved,—That a Copy of the above Resolu-
tions be sent to the Hibernian Societies, with an assurance
that the Magistrates will firmly adhere to those Resolutions,
and thereforP give Notice, that they will hold all parties who
shall do any act having a tendency to a breach of the peace
strictly responsible for their conduct.
That the Mayor and Magistrates rely with confidence on
the Members of the Hibernian Societies, by their own good
conduct and example, supporting the determination expressed
by the Resolutions of June and July, 1842, and particularly
by such Members abstaining from the proposed Procession
on the 17th instant, inasmuch as such Procession would, in
the decided opinion of the Magistrates, endanger the public
peace.
By order of the Mayor and Magistrates,

A T an ADJOURNED MEETING of the MAGIS-
TRATES on FRIDAY, the 10th day of MARCH, 1843,
for the purpose of further considering the state of the Liver-
pool Workhouse.

PRESENT,

ROBERTSON GLADSTONE, Esq. MAYOR, in the Chair

The consideration of the state of the Liverpool Workhouse
having been resumed,
Resolved unanimously,

That, in the opinion of this Meeting, the Liverpool Work-
house is insufficient to accommodate the number of the Poor
now living within its walls. That the space is too confined
to admit any approach to a proper classification of its in-
mates. That the house during the day, and the dormitories
at night are distressingly crowded; and that a decent regard
to the morals, the health, and the comfort of its inhabitants
demands immediate and extensive alterations in all the ar-
rangements of the building.
That this state of the Workhouse tends to produce much
disorder among many of the paupers, and it is highhly expe-
dient, until new and permanent arrangements can be effected,
that a considerable addition to the paid female officers should
be made.

That, as it appears that the Governor of the Workhouse has
no Rules, Orders, Regulations, or Bye-laws for the govern-
ment of that establishment, it is, in the opinion of this meet-
ing, requisite that the Poor Law Commissioners should pub-
lish, in the manner prescribed by the Act, Rules, Orders,
Regulations, or Bye-laws, for the government of the Work-
house forthwith, and that some of the recommendations of
the Assissant Commissioner should be at once issued in the
form of Rules, Orders, or Regulations, so that ,the Magis-
trates may have power to enforce the observance of the same.
That, in the opinion of this Meeting, it is riecessary at
once to commence the projected institution for the juvenile
paupers, and that the extension of the whole increased ac-
commodation should proceed with all possible deispatch.
That the Worshipful the Mayor be respectfully re9uested
to transmit copies of these resolutions to her Majesty s prin-
cipal Secretary of State for the Home Department, and to
the Poor Law Commissioners.
By order of the Mayor.
