The Welshman

GLAMORGANSHIRE. SWANSEA.-—Edward IIowcll, Elizabeth Clarke, Eliza- beth Davies, and Sarah Walters, brought up charged with having been concerned in the extensive robbery of plate at the residence of Dr. Hewson, mentioned by us last week,were severally committed to take their trial at the ensuing July sessions, to be holden at Neath and the witnesses were bound over to attend and give evidence. --The Farmer's Club met last Saturday. On Eas- ter Monday, the Rechabites and Teetotallers had a field day. The petty sessions were held last Tuesday, but nothing worth notice occurred.L,-tst Tuesday morn- ing, as the Bristol Steam-packet was going down the river on her voyage to Bristol, the weather at the time being very foggy, so as to render objects indistinct at a very short distance she came into collision with the brig Tom Cringle, and carried away her bow-sprit, and smashed her figure head, besides sustaining some other injuries, but which did not prevent her proceeding on her voyage to Bristol. The brig also sustained some damage. No blame can be attached to either party the extreme darkness of the weather rendering it im- possible to discern objects at ten yards distance. On Saturday afternoon last, an accident occurred to D. Lloyd, mason, High-street, whilst at work on the bridge now erecting over the new cut. lie had occasion to walk over a plank, and in doing so it gave way, by which he unfortunately lost his balance, and fell upon his head in the cut, a height of 25 feet; several persons ran to his assistance, and conveyed him home in a state of insensibility, where all that medical skill and friendly care could effect was exerted to relieve his sufferings. -The Fair at Cross Inn, near this town, on Fridav last, was pretty well attended. In consequence of the Wesleyan Chapel at the Mumbles, undergoing repair and alteration, the estimated cost of which is about 30 ponnds, a tea-party was held on Good Friday in the In- fant school-room, when about one hundred and fifty per- sons sat down to tea, which was gratuitously provided by the ladies connected with this society of dissenters. After tea, about twenty pounds were contributed by the company towards repairing the chapel ■ OH Tuesday last there was an ANTI CORN LAW MEETING at the Town Hall, where Dr. Bowring, the member for Bolton, delivered an argumentative address against "pro- tection," or that kept mistress of the giant monopoly. On the motion of Mr. Jenkins, M.A., seconded by Mr. Jones, a petition was adopted for the total and immedi- ate repeal of the corn-laws. The (not undeserved) thanks of the meeting were voted to Mr. Aubrey, the chairman, and to the Mayor—who we are glad to see did not refuse to the inhabitants the use of their Town-hall. It was well observed by Mr. Aubrey, upon taking the chair, that he did not consider the corn-laws a party question, but a question affecting the community gene- rally, and which called for the earnest and instant atten- tion of the government. Dr. Bowring's speech could not by possibility possess any novelty, for the subject is exhausted, but to those who did not understand the question before it must have been useful. The follow- ing passage produced a great sensation.—" Nation after nation now repudiates the exchange with this country, and is endeavouring to shut us out from the European markets. All this may be clearly and unerringly attri- buted to false principles of legislation. He (Dr. Bow- ring) had endeavoured, while in foreign countries, to point out the absurdity, the suicidal policy pursued by different governments, but he was instantly silenced by a reference to our restrictive code. (Hear.) Physi- cian, heal thyself" was the language justly applied to him when he attempted to argue with foreigners upon the injustice of their commercial policy. (Hear.) A change was at hand. People seem determined to have a remedy; and he hoped the inhabitants of Swansea would not be backward in showing that they also under- stood the question;—that they were determined, each to take a high minded and honourable part in the present great struggle for commercial freedom. Let them send up their petition to the House of Commons; let them not cease to agitate this great question. Well might they feel for the misery created by the restrictions of trade. He (Dr. Bowring), represented a town in parlia- ment which contained at the present moment thirteen thousand human beings whose, wages averaged but thir- teen pcnce a week. THE MERTHYU MANSLAUGHTER.—The particulars regarding the death of Mary Thomas, on the 12th inst., by the hand of John Insell, were given in our last num- ber. An adjourned inquest has been held, when, a verdict of Manslaughter against the prisoner was re- turned. An examination of the witnesses, at the Angel, before the magistrates, took place on the 15th instant the result of which was that the prisoner was committed to take his trial for manslaughter at the next Glamor- ganshire Assizes. Sir John Guest was waited upon last Wednesday by a deputation of Dissenters from Merthyr, respecting the Educational Clauses in the Factory Bill. The hon. member kindly promised to present and support the petitions. Cardiff fair, on Wednesday the 12th instant, was any thing but cheering. A tolerable supply of fat cattle ap- peared but there was little or no business done.-As Mr. James, a respectable farmer, of St George's, in this county, was returning from Cardiff fair on Wednes- day night last, it is feared in a state of intoxication, he mistook his way, and was found in a bye-lane, with his brains literally smashed. He had fallen from his horse, which was grazing close by him. The unfortunate man must have pitched on his head. TAIPAcii.-On the 11th instant, a collier had been cutting some fire wood in the presence of his two little boys, one of whom is about six years old, and the other scarcely two years old. The father had occasion to leave the spot for an instant, when the elder of the boys, "with intimative art," took up the billhook, and com- menced chopping. The younger child attempted to snatch a piece of wood from the block at the moment a blow was descending, and, dreadful to relate, had one of his little fingers cut off! We arc unwilling to hurt the feelings of the parents by commenting upon their apparent neglect, as their own reflections must, we think, be sufficient warning to themselves and others. NEATH ABBEY.—REBECCA AND HER DAUGHTERS. —On the 10th instant, three persons were apprehended in the act of committing depredations. The case will be heard this day at the Town Hall, Neath.. CAVM AvoN.-On the 8th instant, an urchin, not more than ten years of age, while bending the shears, put his hand too far in receiving the scraps," and in an instant three of his fingers were severed. Medical aid was immediately procured, and the little sufferer is now doing well. Are not the managers of those works liable to censure for allowing such very young children to be employed in occupation of this sort ?

INCOME TAX. I COPY OF CORRESPONDENCE. I MY DEAR SIR,-I understand you have refused to pay the Income tax assessed upon you directly. Pardon me if I beg of you to reconsider your determination. Situated as you are, the next heir to a fine estate, con- nected with some of the most noble families of the land and holding the station you do in the county your ex- ample must necessarily have a very bad eflect. I have heard you exclaim against the illegal proceedings of the Rebeccaites, are you not following their example ? Sup- posing every one liable to pay this tax were to do as you are doing, it is evident that the revenue could not be collected, and then only consider the awful conse- quence to the country and as one of its inhabitants, having so large an interest in its well being, to your- self individually. I have again to ask your pardon for this liberty but I feel sure you will take it in the way it is intended and remain, cSre. &c. "B." "My DEAR SIR,-I have to acknowledge the receipt of your kind letter, and in reply beg to state that you have been misinformed as to my refusing" to pay the income tax assessed upon me diiectiy. I do not "re- fuse" to pay, but I tell the collector that I have no mo- ney" applicable to that particular payment.. This leaves him to the remedy for screwing the amount out of me which the act points out, and as you will at once perceive is a different thing from my refusing" to pay, although the result is precisely the same. The mode I have adopted is perfectly according to law, the other is I am inclined to think contrary to law, and I believe you will do me the justice to say that I am one of those who whilst any law however unjust or absurd it may be, con- tinues to be the law of the land, would execute that law to the very letter until the Legislature should think pro- per to amend or repeal it. As to my example being followed; that I cannot say any thing about, because I have nothing to do with it. It is the affair of each individual who may choose to do with it. It is the affair of each individual who may choose to do as I have done. It would, in my opinion, be contrary to law for me to do or say anything to induce any one else to do as I have done, and I think it would be equally contrary to law, for auy two or more persons to combine, confederate, and agree together,"as an indict- ment would express it,to do the same but I am decidedly of opinion that it is not contrary to law for each in- dividual of any number of men to do exactly as I have done without saying one word about the matter to any one else. This, my dear Sir, you will also see is totally different from the system adoptee, by Rebecca and her You say that if everv one were to follow my example, the tax could not be collected. I grant it, and what is more, I think if a FEW THOUSANDS only were to do the same that there would equally be an end to this odious impost. You think this would produce awful consequences to the country." There I must differ from you. The tax itself although speciously pro- fessing in theory to be tolerably uniform in its operation, is in reality one of the most unequal of all taxes. Does the sum of £ 4 10s. bear the same ratio to the comfort, nay, very existence of a man of LI.50 a year, which the sum of JE15 does to the man of £ 1,500 a year ? It stands to reason that the more you increase the figures the more you diminish practically the ratio of necessity. And again, the widow and six children, five of them in- fants, and the 6th an idiot, left to struggle against this world's ills with a pittance of EI,56, the wreck saved possibly from the breaking up of her thought- less husband's splendid professional income feels the abstraction of ninety shillings far more than the banker's or merchant's clerk, a gay and thoughtless bachelor receiving the same amount of salary. This is a general objection to the tax, but I personally have ano- ther to the manner in which the act directs it to be laid on. The construction put by the Commissioners upon it is that the losses upon property liable to the tax under one schedule are not to be set against the gains upon property or income assessed under another. And fur- ther that even where both the profit and loss accrue upon the charge made under one schedule they shall not be set one against another if one arises from a profession, and the other from the trade of a Farmer; added to all these objections is the main one in a statesman's view, that it cramps the mercantile energies of the country and inquisitorially^exposes the concerns of private life, thereby having a tendency to prevent the flow of capital into its legitimate channels to the great detriment of individuals and the manifest injury of other branches of the revenue —not to mention the debasing moral feeling which it engenders in the country. To get rid of such a tax can therefore be no "detriment to the nation" and to have that done in a peaceful, quiet and unexciting manner must in my opinion be highly advantageous. If a large number of men were each without any concert with his neighbour to do as I have done, this must I think be the result, for the cumbrous machinery of the act would be found ineffectual if met by pretty general passive resistance" and I think Sir Robert Peel has too much of the wisdom of the serpent" to precipitate the discovery by the people that the supreme power of the state rests entirely with themselves. He would therefore most pro- pably yield like the withy to the blast and quietly give way to the" pressure from without." Were he to do this and boldly and openly and honestly, carry into exe- cution the principles of Government and fiscal regulation which he knows to be the correct ones, instead of allowing some sinister influence always to force him into a false though expedient position, he would be the greatest minister that England ever ever gloried in, and Englishmen would rejoice in the proudest name in the universe, instead of being pushed on one side by a foreign rabble, who possess not half their powers either physical or mental. You beg me to consider the consequences of my con- duct to myself individually. By allowing the law to take its course" passively and without resistance of any kind, the result will no doubt be that if their tackle is all right, the taxgatherers will be able to raise out of my property the amount of the tax, together with the reasonable costs of the levy, and if they make a slip in doing this they will have to pay the damages. This will be the direct effect upon myself; but indirectly if my example should by any chance be pretty generally fol- lowed, and the repeal of this odious tax should follow as a consequence, I think that the nation and as one of them myself individually would be greatly benefitted by a return to a more genuine system of raising the revenue necessary for the wants of the state. And on the other hand if the tax should still continue to be exacted, not- withstanding the pretence for it has passed away, I shall have the proud but melancholy satisfaction of never having wittingly lent a hand to the enslavement of my countrymen. I remain, &c., &c. H.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR OF THE WELSHMAN." TRUTHS, TITHES, AND TORIES. I SIR,—Under this head last week the figure 5 having got out of its place before the cipher,I wish it to be known that as the rent-charge payable this year is governed by the averages which are published in the London Gazette, for corn sold during the last year, every parson and tithe taker will this year be entitled by law to claim and enforce payment against the poor distressed farmers above £ 10.5 for every one hundred pounds of the agreed amount of their commuted rent-charges! Silt,—I want to know whether there is any clause in the Registration Bill which has just been introduced that will prevent Poll-Books being mysteriously missed. SIMOXS Pure. SIR,—I cannot think why you don't let the journal go to the dogs its own way instead of keeping it alive before the public. Why do you advertise it every week ? J. T. [It'g the esprit de corps we suppose that renders us thus generous, for a fellow-feeling makes us (all) wondrous kind." A couple of newspapers may cuff and scold each other like any other couple that lead a cat-and-dog life, but nevertheless there's a sort of common interest and and cool acquaintance between them.]

AT a PUBLIC MEETING of the INHABITANTS -N of HAVERFORDWEST, convened by Requisition to the Mayor, and held in the Town-Hall, on Monday evening, April 17th, 1843, to consider the Bill of Sir James Graham, for the Education of Factory Children, JOSEPH POTTER, ESQ., MAYOR, IN THE CHAIR; The following resolutions were unanimously passed:— Moved by Thomas Lloyd, Esq., seconded by the Rev. Thomas Whitta, 1. That this Meeting is deeply convinced of the neces- sity of Education. Moved by the Rev." Corbett Cooke, seconded by John Lloyd Morgan, Esq., M.D 2. That this Meeting objects to the Educational clauses of the proposed Bill, and which it maintains, will be pro- ductive of disastrous results for the following, amongst other reasons. 1. Because they interfere with the rights of Parents in the Education of their Children which this Meeting deems to be inalienable. 2. Because they tend by the revival of distinctions and of inquisitorial tests to engender feelings of animosity among the people, and by their arbitrary provisions to prostrate a free and an in- dependent spirit. 3. Because they seriously affect the means of religious instruction, especially in Sabbath School Institutions, which, this Meeting has abundant reason for believing—have exerted a most beneficial in- fluence on the principles and habits both of Children and Parents. 4. Because they perpetuate an act of injustice by compelling all classes of the community to contribute to the propagation of opinions and practices against which they may entertain conscientious scru- ples. Moved by the Rev. Daniel Davies, seconded by the Rev. William W. Fletcher, 3. That this Meeting pledges itself, and calls upon all the Friends of Liberty, Education, and Religion, to offer every firm and uncompromising opposition to the passing of this Bill, and to use every means to secure its rejection, being convinced that the Educational clauses will not admit of any modification which can render them worthy of being adopted. Moved by W111. Rees, Esq., seconded by John Walters, Esq., 4. That the following Petition imbodying the fore- going Resolutions and condemnatory of the principle and details of the Educational clauses of the Bill be sent from this Meeting to the House of Commons. [Mr. R. here read the Petition] and that it be forwarded to the Representative of the town, Sir R. B. P. Phillips, Bart., for Presentation. Moved by the Rev. D. Davies, seconded by J. Ll. Morgan, Esq., That the hearty thanks of this Meeting be given to the Mayor for his kindness in taking the Chair on this occa- sion. CARMARTHENSHIRE. ELIGIBLE INVESTMENT.

part; of Wales the effect has been astounding. When we call to mind the state of Haverfordwest, prior to the introduction of Sunday school instruction amongst us, and contrast it with the present state, the population being almost double, we shall find that the present state is infinitely superier to the past. Now look at Wales generally, and there does not exist perhaps on the face of the wide world, a place where education is more extended (except indeed in some parts of Scotland) and where crime is less, and this is principally to be ascribed to Sunday school teaching. Even the outbreaks in Manchester and other places to which some are wont to point in proof of the necessity of the proposed Bill, prove anything but the want of education. Even in those very 0 districts our Wesleyan friends have upwards of half a million of teachers and children weekly engaged in imparting and receiving instruction. I am exceedingly attached to Sunday school education, and exceedingly anxious that a sound general and religious education should pervade the whole kingdom. Forty years ago I received a religious education in a Sunday school in this town, for which I am truly thankful--in that school I was taught the first principles of religion —for 27 years I have been a teacher and a visitor, and I can safely say that for that space of time the instruc- tion imparted to the children embraced the great leading doctrines of the reformation. It is true that the great Portion of our Sunday school teachers are mechanics, but they arc men of piety and of ardent zeil-nien who read and love their bibles, and they teach the great and important doctrine of the reformation, justification by faith in Christ without the deeds of the law. [Mr. Lloyd here ably criticized the details of the Bill, and Presented to the meeting a luminous and succinct account of the proposed enactments :—That the school houses were to be erected by funds, two-thirds of which were to be taken from the public money, and one-third from the poor-rate that they were to be supported by the poor-rate, and that over the grant of the money or the government of the schools, the rate-payers had no lrect or indirect control; that the provisions for elect- ino trustees will manifestly secure the appointment of the clergy and their adherents to the office that the pO""er Tested in the trustees singly as well as unitedly, 18 absolutely despotic and that the operative classes alid their children will be entirely subjected to the sway of the clerical body, their very bread depending upon their submission to their petty tyrants. After some Sraphic exposures of the future working of this abomi- nable measure, the speaker proceeded.] There are certain exceptions in this Bill it comes before us with a great deal of kind and conciliatory language and Professions of respect to Dissenters. Sir James Graham speaks highly of the Dissenting body, and of their efforts in promoting education. [A voice which we distinguished to be that of Mr. W. Rees, here exclaimed ■7-" Trust him not."] It comes before us with profes- Illons of gratitude for our past labours, while at the same time with one fell swoop it attempts to destroy the fruit of those labours-so far as the operative classes are concerned-from the face of the land. It does not profess to sweep all schools to destruction. The National Church Schools are excepted, the British and Foreign Schools are excepted, schools belonging to the owners of Factories are excepted, Roman Catholic Schools are also excepted. The masters of these schools may grant certificates to children to work in Factories, but there is not a single exception in favour of Wes- lcyan Schools (which alone contain 12,000 children in those districts), of the Baptist Schools, of the Inde- pendent and Presbyterian Schools. It makes provisions however for the children of Dissenters whose parents or guardians will protest that they have conscientious Scr ùples against their children recei ving the doctrines taught in those schools. But where will you find the Parent with sufficient moral courage-I may say moral hardIhood-to offend the clerical trustee and the master o' those schools when his very bread is at stake—when llis vcry bread depends upon their good will ? Mr. hanman, this Bill smells very much of Rome. Most People think that under the name of Puseyism-it is a POPish plo-an attempt to get the whole population o Pusylte hands to educate. They want nothing  ?? ??' Sir, give them the present generation, and ?t next will be entirely their own. Mr. Chairman, the ?.?"?niething manly in Laud.

Rev. Mr ??' (?esleyan l\Imltr) moved the 2nd resolution & saId: Mr.Chairman, this is the first time on hich I h" • e attempted to address a meeting precisely of a s?-? .???er to the present. I think that as a Christ- minister, I should abstain from interfering in ^latt  a Purely political character but I don't think that by becoming a Christian minister I forfeit my civil ? g its—-that I have sunk my right as a citizen of th I°r*d' and as a British subject. But while I hold that ? things are lawful, I think that all things are Hot e1Cpdient." I feel that all souls are equally valuable, a?  ?'? not to ? offence either to Churchmen or n0t t0 ^VG °^cnce either to Churchmen or ^isse ^erS' so that if by any means I might save some. tere are reasons when a Christian minister ought ?o co fforward and proclaim his sentiments, and I th?? h?t t e present is one of these occcasions, when si.li e cc, becomes criminal and when we might expect the roa h f ?Pro ? our own consciences if we do not come to thp t? ?P ? ?he Lord against the mighty.

The parent will be fined 10s. and costs for every neglect of the child to attend school, and this fine cannot be reversed—from it there is no appeal. The parent might send the child, but if the child neglect to attend, his offence will be awfully visited upon the parent-a fine of 10s. for every neglect, with costs amounting probably to 10s. more. The parent may be too poor to pay, and the necessary consequence will be consignment within the walls of a prison. Mr. Chairman, this is one of the most atrocious attempts on the liberties of the poor of which we have ever heard. I have not looked at this Bill through party feelings-it would be unworthy of us to cherish a party spirit in connection with it. It is a monstrous iniquity from whomsoever it proceeded. I care not whether it is the concoction of Lord John Russell or Sir Robert Peel. What does it matter to any honest man from whom an odious and iniquitous Bill proceeds ? I hesitate not to denounce in language equally strong this abominable measure, whether it be the production of Lord John Russell or of Sir Robert Peel. [The Dt. commented severely on certain clauses of the Bill, and exhibited the irresponsible power which it would entrust to the clergy —and then proceeded.] What right has the state to interfere with the education of the people. The proper object of Government is the protection of life, liberty, and property, and not to take care of the religion or education of the ;people- Oil! it is said, if you doubt the right of Government to interfere in the education of the community, the late outbreaks must assuredly satisfy you of the necessity at least of the proposed measure." This is a bare faced and most hollow pre- tence, it is impossible for the Government to believe that it was the want of education which caused those riots. It was not a want of education sir, it was dire necessity. An idea generally prevailed that labor did not receive a fair remuneration, and it was but natural that they should thus feel dissatisfied. But I ask is it not a proof of the spread of education and of high moral principle, that such ti vast assemblage of people should remain so quiet and not break into acts of turbulence and blood- shed under their extreme distress and destitution was not their demand a fair days wages for a fair day's work, and because they fancied this was not given them they attempted to right themselves. In this I hold they were wrong. But then, Mr. Chairman, it was not the want of education, but the want of bread; and now while they are crying and starving for bread, the Go- vernment gives them a stone. This Bill will never feed a starving population. It will not restrain but oppress. It perpetuates and aggravates every evil without cor- necting one-it places all the liberties of the people in the hands of clerical despots. Let me urge you therefore to give this Bill every opposition in your power. It is our duty as men, as citizens, as patriots, to resist such monstrous injustice. The Bill smells of the bottomless pit, and should it unhappily pass into a law, its effects will be direful and disastrous. [The speaker concluded amid prolonged cheering.] The Rev. D. Davies (Baptist) rose to move the third resolution and said :—At this late hour of the evening, and after so much had been said on this subject, and said so well, it would not be wise to occupy your at- tention but for a very short time. I will first read to you the resolution entrusted to my charge. (Mr D. read the resolution and proceeded.) I hold, sir, that Government has nothing whatever to do either with the religion or the education of the people. Government has been instituted solely for the protection of life, of liberty, and of property, and I maintain that to be the best Government in which there is the least possible restraint consistent with general security. (Hear, hear, and cheers.) I maintain that to be the best Govern- ment in which there is the least possible irresponsible power. (Cheers.) And this meeting pledges itself, or, at least will pledge itself should this resolution pass, not to extend that irresponsible power-but to oiler every possible opposition to the passing of this Bill. I think, sir, that it is our duty to agitate this subject more extensively, to make the people better acquainted with the details of this iniquitous measure, and that done, we should heartily unite and memorialize the Queen—for I hold, sir, that a Government which has dared to bring in such a Bill to destroy the liberty of the subject ought not henceforth to be trusted. (Cheers.) We ought, therefore, to memorialize the Queen to dismiss her present Ministers, and to select others of more liberal minds and more willing to respect the rights of conscience. (Tremendous cheering.) There is another thing, sir, which I should very much wish to see. I wish to see the people fairly represented in Par- liament, (hear hear), and were the people but once fairly represented, where is the ministry which will then dare to bring in such a Bill as this ? There are hun- dreds present in this hall who understand their liber- ties as well as I do, who are as capable of exercising the franchise as I am—and why, sir, I ask, are their rights withheld from them ? (Hear, hear.) I maintain that it is their right, and I wish to see the suffrage ex- tended. I wish to see Universal Suffrage. (Hear, hear, and vehement cheering.) Every man who is liable to serve his conn try-every man who is liable to pay rates and taxes -every such man ought to have a voice in the election of his representative. I wish much to see a Universal Suffrage Society established in this town, and that we should send men to Parliament not to represent the few but the many-not to consult the aggrandizement of the aristocracy but the welfare of the millions. (Cheers.) I hold that every man, who is not tainted by crime-that every man as well as myself should have a voice in the Government of the country. I am an enemy to all monopoly I wish to see the blessings of liberty extended to every human being. (Tremendous cheers.) What right has the Church of England to assume to herself the sole power to instruct the people. We have heard from Mr. Cook that in Cornwall the Wesleyan Methodists far exceed the Episcopalians, and in Wales the Dissenters are five to one, aye, ten to one above the favoured and dominant sect, why then, upon this argument, why should our children be taken from us and taught the superstition and falsehoods of the English Church ? I am a parent, and sooner than I would allow my children to be taken from me and taught the mummeries of an apostate Church, I would burst the bonds of mortality. (Great and renewed cheering.) We ought then, sir, to use every constitutional means to procure a fair repre- sentation of the people, and when this is secured, no Government will dare to bring in a Bill of this cha- racter. Offer every opposition in your power to the passing of this Bill, and if it be not thrown out, me- morialize the Queen to dismiss her Ministers, and then send up persons to Parliament who will fairly represent us, and then we shall have this Bill repealed. (The Rev. Gentleman resumed his seat amidst loud and re- iterated cheers.) The Rev. Mr. Fletcher (Independent) in a brief speech seconded the resolution. W. Rees, Esq. rose and said, sir, I beg to move the adoption of the following petition which is condemna- tory of the principle and details of Sir James Graham's Bill—Mr. Rees read the petition. J. Walters, Esq., (Banker,) seconded the motion. The resolution on being put to the meeting was carried unanimously. Mr. Rees then further moved that the petition be forwarded to our Representative, Sir R. Philipps for presentation, with a request that he would support its prayer. This was also seconded by John Walters, Esq., and unanimously responded to. The Rev. D. Davies then proposed a vote of thanks to the Mayor, which was seconded by Dr. Morgan. The Mayor briefly returned thanks, and the meeting separated. The signatures to the petition occupied three entire sheets of vellum.
