Illiargeil with lark of judgment. Would it not be bet- I
ter to suggest an inquiry into the question tu ho were at
the bolt t f those charges, than t's have at Ministers
titer-skelter by dozens? He trusted the Alerting
would not pass allesolution to have themselves laughed at.
Mr. Emits said, the advice of Mr. Mole woeld be a
thing which the Ministers would be very unwilling to
adopt, for they would find themselves at the butt ; and
as-to the attack by dozens, the ne•iiher to be affected by
the impeachment would be no Imre than nine.
Mr. Atomic said, he had held up a hand against the
Rosolation, because he dill not consider that the Queen
was itinucvnt, uur that she is injured. lie did not
riensiare mat the 'Minis:as hail acted untionstitutioviallv,
nor tits% the Rill was any siolstion of the Consitution—
'Misses/4-11e insisted upon his right to be heard. and
hoped the Alderman of the Wool would insist upon a
£rsviltge against which clamour oneht not to he rased.
)t was not likely that he should he 'relined to disease
the evidence,or that the meeting would lie willing to at-
tend to h.ss. Het !fluke been railed mum to speak, lie
should not hesitate to repeat Isis words as to the inner
cenceci the Quern,
Mr. hs.tcen said, the gentleman hail certainly even an
opinion, brat he had given no fonndation for it.
Ale. Ilexes —I have heard every iotit of the evidence.
1 have no connection with Ministers. nor do I look for
it. 1 think the Quire° guilty. and ail the proceedings
injurious to the cuentry at large.—(Lotl hisses.)
'Mr. ilairox —I hate read the etiileitee. awl 1 derlare
that I hirer her Majesty to he innocent. 1 have held
up my hand against the Resolution, because I cannot p
the Isngths to %illicit the framers go.—(Applause.)
The Resolutions were carried, and a Committee was
appointed to draw up an Address.
Mr. MATH moved the thanks of the Ward to Alder-
man Wood, for his excellent conduct, and partirtilsrly
for his affection and attention to our beloved and perse-
cdted Queen.
Sir. Entenneor on said, he was sorry he should he
obliged to hold op his hand against the motion. lie
so, in consetinenee of the part the Alderman
Fad taken with regard to the Queeu.—(Loud and gene-
ral hisses.)
Mr. Emig said, that upon that ground, he the more
zealously held up his band. The Ward—the whole
City of London, were under the deepest obligations to
t 1 at independent and noble minded Magistrate, who
lei been long labouring in defence Of the rights of his
fellow-citizens, and whose public life, consistent through-
out, was more highly embellished by this last • effort to
protect the innocent.
Mr. Dr.;:Yox-1 dissent from all the Resolntions, but
I I•nneer in this.
Upon the shew of hands there were about half a do-
zest impanel, to the motion of thanks.
Mr. Alderman Wimp, in returning his acknowledg-
ments, said, he much regretted Altat any Gentleman
should suppose hr had cause to censure his (AWerra**.
%sand's) eimilnct, and he had expected that those who
held up their haails against him would have stated their
ranee of complaint. In going nut to meet her Majesty, •
and in adhering to her cause, lie had but one motive—
the
vindication of what he conceived to he Injured in- I
earence.—(Cheers.) Since the Rill hail met its fate,
the moat important witneenes hail arrived in England.
The Gentlemen 111111 had j9i111.11 in the opposition to the ,
Resolutioes would have an opportunity of seeing the evi-
ecnceofn Lich he spoke, if not in judicial proceedings, at
ary rate in thepress.—(Load applause.) Ile hail it in his
power to prove, that multitudes were now receiving pay
frt.m the public money, and had received titles for
issue at Milan, Rome, Pesaro anti Paris, and tlefamine I

principles beyond the reach of contamination. Ile had

proper to reject that-which lied given conviction to the
great body of the poldic, had seen her when she spurned

Hutchinson. If they beheld the scorn and indignation
nith which she Last refused the 511.0110/. they would no
longer raise up the hand of prejudice against her fame.

Air. Breen then moved the thanks of the ,Meeting to
La Iv Anne II imilton, for the unparolleled attachment
she•en to her Majesty by that Lally.
Mr. Alderman WOOD said, that no praise mold be too
greet upon that theme. Lady Antic Hamilton had never
left her Alajestv for a single hour, sinee the Queen ea-
I ass's.' a desire to have her services. She hail clung to
1 ••r Majesty at a time when Ladies were not so ready to
s:trrounel her as now.—(Loud applause.)
The vote was carried unanimously. .t Resolution of
Thanks to the Independent Press was also carried.
Mr. Hairs took the opportunity, at this moment, to
declare, that the voice of the people was rot in favour of
e•is Qiteen. lie hail been in the habit of attending npon
'Change, and he knew that the nserrhants and hankers
stTe of a different opinion.—(6...d hisses.)
Me. Ewer —We do not consider the merchants and
tankers the bulk of the public. They certainly lire by
tise public, but they form an insionificant part of that
vast body. They liar, not declared their opinions.
Mr. !retry—They will come forward and state their
Yew of the question. It is seldom bttt upon compulsion
tt•at they come forward.—(A laugh.)
Mr. Etcxe—The people are as much interested in this
question as the tneri•hants, and were they to look np to
a hotly who would not do their duty but by compulsion.
Mr. Hancock said, the great Athenian Legislator had
made it punishable Its- death to remain neuter on a
Odic question ; hut here it seemed that a state of
reittrality was a state of virtue. lie considered the
people, front the time of the Revolution, the origin of
power. lie contended, that in the proceedings against
the Queen the ntmost injustice and hypocrisy had been
exhibited.
The Resolutions having been all carried, the Ward-
mote broke up.
