the ]4th March.

T. B. HORSFALL, Esq. in the Chair,
The following resolutions were put, and unanimously adopted :
t. That, considering how the Pope of . takinsulted the
Sovereign, and assailed the indepe.. • nce, of Great Britain ;
considering the admirable and imating rejoinder of Her
Majesty's Prime Minister; nsidering the unprecedented
unanimity with which the p,ple of all classes have expressed
their indignation, and de , .ncled legislative redress and pro-
tection.; and considerin, he proud boastings of Rome's power
and England's weakn • s in which our enemies at home and
abroad have so in. ltingly indulged ; this Meeting are of
opinion that the Bfll now before Parliament is altogether in.
adequate to meet the exigencies -of the case, or rescue the
country from the contempt of the civilize) world.

2. That, as the synodal action of Roman Catholic bishops is
not essential to the free exercise of the Roman Catholic reli-
gion, as proved by the past history of English Roman Catho-
lics; and as such synodal action is the medium through which
the Romish canon law is introduced with authority for the
government of any country, this Meeting is of opinion, that
the prohibition by British law of such synodal action is

gious liberties of all classes of Her Majesty's subjects.
3. That this Meeting, deeply impressed with the importance of Coopn., Archer, and Fisheithe G division, of presenting something definite and practical before the
pub-
lic mind, is convinced that nothing short of what is now asked the thieves being, as who,however, could not prevent some of
