1810.] 
The following resolutions, passed by 
the Ward of Farringdon Without, are 
inserted as a summary of the reasonings 
adopted in the popular questions, at issue 
between the country and the majority of 
the House of Commons. 
dst. Resolved—-That in the 29th chapter 
of Magna Charéa it is declared, * that po 
freeman shall he taken, or imprisoned, or be 
disseized of his freenold or liberties, or free 
customs, or to be outlawed or exiled, or any 
Otherwise destroyed; nor will we not pass 
upon him, nor condemn him, but by lawfyl 
judgment of his peers, or by the law of the land. 
9d. Resolved—That the committal of Mr. 
John Gale Jones, and Sir Francis Burdett, to 
prison, during pleasure, by the order of the 
honorable the House of Commons, for sup 
posed libels, appears to this Ward meeting 
an unreasonable and illegal assumption in 
their own cause, of the accumulated offices 
and power of accuser, juror, judge, and ex- 
ecutioner. 
3d. Resolved—That the late assumption 
of undefined privilege by the Honorable the 
House of Commons will, in effect, abolish 
that bulwark of our liberties, trial by jury, 
will supersede the Habeas Corpus act, wiil 
annul the Bill of Rights, and the wholescme 
provisions of Magna Charta. 
4th. Resolved—-That the exercise of ille- 
gal power naturally engenders violence, rit, 
commotion, and ultimately revolution ; that 
the introduction of the stamding army to en- 
force the arbitrary warrant of the speaker of 
the House of Commons, has already produced 
the most deplorable calamities ; our sacred 
charters have been violated, the blood of 
peaceable passengers have been spilled, and 
our fellow-citizens have been murdered in our 
streets; and this ward meeting entertain a 
fervent hope, that any future attempts to in- 
troduce arbitrary power, to excite violence 
and riot, and to goad the people into resistance 
aud commotion, may, by the steady, firm, and 
wise, conduct of our countrymen, be foiled. 
Sth. Resolved—That this ward mezting 
trembles for the consequences probable upon 
this conflict between the people and the pri- 
vileges of the House of Commons; and they 
aver it to be their opinion, that this unnatu- 
Alphabetical List of Bankruptcies. 
AGI 
ral struggle is a certain evidence of the little 
influence the people possess in that honorable 
House. That they believe the representation 
of the people in Parliament is unequal, defi- 
cient, and now manifestly inadequate to the 
security of the subject ; that it appears un- 
contradicted upon their journals, that seats in 
the honorable the House of Commons are no~ 
toriously sold and bartered; that a majority 
in that honorable House may be at all times, 
with perfect facility, procured and purchased, 
by any set of ministers, with the ready means 
of places, pensions, sinecures, patronage, and 
s jobs; as only 154 powerful individuals, peers, 
and others, return 307 members for England 
and Wales; and the representation of Scotland » 
and Ireland is equally corrupt: that by means 
of the majorities thus obtained, public dee 
faulters have not only been exculpated, but 
suffered to enjoy the fruits of their nefarious 
conduct, and retain their seats in that honorae - 
ble house. 
6th. Resolved—That this ward meeting 
declares its entire approbation of the conduct, 
resolutions, and petition, of the livery of Lon» 
don, in their last Common Hall; that this 
meeting avails itself of this first opportunity 
to express its abhorrence of the seditious at- 
tempts of a band of contractors and venal jobe 
bers, to decry all public spirit ; and to induce 
the timid and the weak to join in libellous 
declarations against their fellow citizens, and 
the venerable magistracy of our city. 
7th. Resolved—That far those accumulated 
evils and calamities, one only remedy offers 
itself; namely, a full, fair, and free, repre= 
sentation of the people in Parliament. 
8th. Resolved—-That this ward meeting 
do hereby instruct their representatives in 
Common Council to promote and support im 
that court all legal measures whatever, that 
may be proposed to procure the liberation of 
Sir Francis Burdett and John Gale Jones; and 
for that necessary and indispensable abject, a 
radical reform in the Commons House of Pare 
liament. ; 
9th. Resolved—That the thanks of thig 
meeting are due to Sir Francis Burdett, for 
his manly and coastitutional resistance to op~ 
pression, and for his learned and legal argu~ 
ment in faver of the unalienable rights of the 
people.
