She^veth, 
That your Petitione*, being deeply inte¬ 
rested in tlie welfare of this poj'mlous town, 
and this great manufacturing county, cannot 
but view with great anxiety the progressive 
and alarming advance in the prices ot corn, 
in connexion with t-be fact now ascertained, 
that the produce of the late harvest is very 
deficient, and that the v/eather for gathering 
it in, in the r»orthern parts of Great Bri¬ 
tain, and for preparing the wheat lands 
generally for the next crops, has been ex¬

of life now sells in the Dublin market, at 
the excessive price of six shillings [>er cwt. ; 
from v.'hich circumstance your Petitioners 
apprehend that the usual supplies of Corn 
from Ireland, upon which the numerous 
population of this town, and Cne county of 
Lancaster, are known in a great degree to 
depend for subsistence, are likely to be nruch 
curtailed. 
That in times like the present, when no 
dependence can be placed on receiving sup¬ 
plies of Foreign Corn, it becomes of the 
lirst importance to iiusoaiid 10 the utmosi. the 
crops of this country. 
That the average weekly prices cf Corn
