HERTFORD WEETING. 11U
-rllll co
Yesterday a meeting of the owners *nil occupiers in
44 land in the county of Herds, was bald at the Town- ca
*el, Hertford, for the purpose of taking into comb tit
Aration the distressed state of the agricultural interests. PT
At half past twelve o'clock, the Martinet's of Sethi- el
ry, the E irl of liridgevrater, Lord Cranboree, Lord rsei,
Deere, Lard Verulam, Sir John &bright, and the tioa. s,
Lamb (tlie members for the county), Sir C. Smith, w
filielonel Brown, Mr. Nicholson Calvert, M.P., and ■ ti
somber of other gentlemen of the county, assembled 11'
in the Shire-hall. The liigh Sheriff, (Juseph Timpe-
eon, lesq ) ehortly after took the chair, and opened the :41
liminess of the day, by °Merits; the following reqni - p
0.111011 to be read, in pursuance of which lse had felt it r,
his duty to the present meeting tl
,* We, the undersigned, request that you will please
.be call a meeting of the owners and occupiers of tared in p
t6r. county a Wets, for the peeves@ of taking into eon- II
Pisterelieto the erepriety of 'Widening Parliament apes I
the agricultarel distress of the country."
Signed by Lord DAM, and a number of others.
The HIGH SIMI,/ then observed that be bad called t
the meeting together to consider of agricultural die-
tress alone, and to that object, and to that only, ought ti
their attention to be drawn. He hoped they would
=l've all persons a fair and impartial hearing, while ,
speaking within the subject comprehended in the re-
qnieition.
Lord DACHE rose and was received with loud and I
repeated cheers. His Lordship commenced by ob-
serving,
that the alarming state of distress ander
which the agricultural interests sheared was such
that it was felt expedient to call this meeting of the
ow Hers and occupiers of land in that county in order
to consider the propriety of Petitioning Parliament fur
redress. He felt that he ir s about to enter upon a
subject of vast extent, and of the most vital import-
ance ; a subject which it was him duty to lay as clearl)
as possible before the 'sleeting. In attempting this,
his feelings of anxiety anti delicacy arose from his
knowing the heat and warmth with which be was is the
habit of expressing himself upon political subjects, and
frequently with a strong and political bias. 'I hose who
knew him bed, knew that it was the practice upon all
occasions, to go direct to his object. If he wished to
introduce Parliamentary Reform (a question which be
should upon every proper occasion support upon sound
constitntional principles), he should go at once to the
point; but at present they were assembled to consider
of the distresses under which the agriculturists laboured,
and of pointing out, if possible, a remedy for those dis-
tresses. in stating the means by which, in Isis view of
the case, those remedies could be mitigated, if no*
wholly removed, he should trust to their patience and
indulgence. The main difficulty tinder which the land-
ed interests laboured, could be stated in a few words;
the inadequacy of the price of produce to cocci the ex-
penses,of cultivation.—(Hear, hear.) And lie had no
hesitation in saying, that if the distresses which now
existed were to exist 11111c11 longer, then the cultivation
of the binds of England must cease altogether. —(Hear,
hear.) Perhaps it would be here necessary to state, tb .t
in speaking of the expense of cultivation, he did not in-
clude rent. Rent, strictly speaking, was what remained
to the cultivator after every expense incident to eultiva•
tion was paid. The expenses to which he alluded were
the Poor 's Rate, road expenses, the expenses of labour
fur whether the labourer was employed or in the work-
house, he was equally supported by the land.—(.leer,
hoer.) Whet' all these reprocess were paid, the residue
if any, was rent, but until those expenses were paid, the
land could not, and ought not to pay any rent.—(Heer,
bear.) In speaking of the necessity of a rem•oneratine
price to the farmer, he wished to guard himself against
any idea of %iishing to keep up rent or high prices.—
There was not a single iota of such a thing either in
what lie said or what he thought. The tpte,otiost was
not now between the landowner and occupier, the
question was whether the whole of the lands of Eng-
lend were to be transferred to other holdera.—(Hear.)
For the distresses which were admitted on all hands to li
exist, various remedies were proposed. One was a sito•
nopoly of the home market; they had a perfect monopoly
by the existing Corn Lon. Though inany were 411s-4-
d-tied with those laws. and wished in preference for a
high protecting duty upon corn. Such a pro'ecting
dery would be useless; for even should a protecting duty
4141 h. per quarter he imposed, still, a....nroling to the re-
turns of continental prices mule to Parli Hewitt the Sem-
den iwtore last, such a duty won't' not have ki p oat
foreign corn. Itut at present the English f.rote .1, 11111
complete monopoly %miler this., was it to expected that it
could rise to that pee. under the preset stets of things?
