AT a MEETING of the INNKEEPERS of BIRKEN-
HEAD, OXTON, and CLAUGHTON, held at the
ALBION HOTEL, BIRKENHEAD, On MONDAY, the sth
December, for the purpose of taking into consideration cer-
tain clauses in the proposed new Act or Acts, of Which notice
has been given by the Commissioners of Birkenhead.
Mr. WILLOUGHBY having been called to the Chair,
It was resolved,—
lst.—That this Meeting considering the clause respecting
the giving to the Commissioners the sole power to grant
Licenses very objectionable, unprecedented, unconstitutional,
and dangerous to the community, do earnestly hope that
such measure will not be persevered in.
2d.—That this Meeting, feeling themselves perfectly secure
in the hands of the Magistrates, and convinced that justice
will be faithfully administered both to the Publicans and to
the Public under them, they would not feel equally secure,
were the Magisterial authority vested in the Commission-
ers, one-third of whom are annually chosen out of the Thirty-
five Pounds resident Rate-Payers, and who are moving in
the same sphere of life with themselves, the majority of
them being Tradesmen in Liverpool.
3rd.—That the proposal to have a Stipendiary Magistrate,
supported by a Rate on the Inhabitants of Birkenhead, is
very premature and unjust, as the town is not in that ad-
vanced state to require it, and the calls upon the pockets of
the Rate-Payers are already very heavy, and the Innkeepers
generally pay the largest rates.
4th.—That a Memorial be presented by this Meeting to
the Magistrates of the Hundred of Wirral, expressing their
entire confidence in them, and respectfully, but earnestly,
requesting that they will not give their sanction to the pro-
posed measure.
Signed on behalf of the Meeting,
EDWARD G. WILLOUGHBY, Chairman.
Birkenhead, Dec. 5, 1812.

And numerous Families of the highest respectability.
Mr. COCKLE, SURGEON, has much pleasure in layini.
before his friends and the public, Mr. ABERNETHY'S
ESTIMATION of bis Antibilious Pills, extracted from
Letter which that 'gentleman addressed to him in the Year
1824:

I have ordered the use of your Antibilious Pills in affec-
tions of the stomach, attended with considerable derange-
ment of the functions of that important organ, and connected
with a torpid state of the liver and bowels, (for to this cause,
chiefly, may be attributed the various diseases of the body,
both local and constitutional,) and I have thus had frequent
opportunities of witnessing their beneficial effects. They
greatly influence the secretion of bile, and act with certainty
and in the most effectual manner on the alimentary organs,
without occasioning pain or irritation. I consider them a
most excellent family aperient medicine, and may be taken at
all times with perfect safety."
They are prepared by Mr. JAMES COCKLE Surgeon Extra-
ordinary to Her Serene Highness the late L'ANDGRAVINE of
HESSE HOMBURG, and may be had of all respectable Medi-
cine Venders, in boxes, at ls. lid., 2s. 9d. and 4s. 6d.
NOTICE. ,
Let it be especially observed, that those Pills only are
genuine which have the name " JAMES COCKLE, ArontE-
clan'," in white letters, engraved on the Government Stamp.
This mark of authenticity will protect the Public against any
dangerous and deleterious imitation.
