public meeting assembled, hereby en-
ter our most emphatic protest against
the action of the Executive Govern
ment in drafting a force of extra po
lice into the County, which has been
always free from crime of any descrip-
ton, and characterized rs such by the
going Judges Of Assize for years past;
that we call upon the Executive Gov
eminent, in the name of the people of
this County, to withdraw those extra
forces Of police, as their presence in
this, a peaceable County, is both an
noying, irlzsome, and calculated to pro-
woke a breach of the peace, as well as
expensive to an already overtaxed peo
pie; and that copy of this resolution
be sent to the Chief Secretary" After

resolution was put to the meeting and
passed, Sir Malby 'Crofton being the
only dissentient.
