FARRINGDON WITHOUT.

At a Meeting of LOYAL Inhabitants of the Ward of Farringdon Without, and the Pre-
cincts connected therewith—Held at the Hole and Corner, Ludgate Hill, on Saturday,
the 16th day of December, 1820—

                  Mrs. MACDOODLE'S HUSBAND, ESQ. in the CHAIR,

RESOLVED,

That we cannot but deeply deplore the efforts which have been long making to inflame the
Public mind, and that under these circumstances we deem it the duty of every man who values the religious
and civil blessings which have been transmitted from his ancestors, to possess a copy of a LOYAL
PARODY on the Mosaic Account of the Creation and Destruction of the world by the Deluge, to the tune of
Derry Down, published by
Mr. THOMAS HARPER of this Ward, one of the Candidates for the office of
Common Councilman.

2.   RESOLVED, That the present awful aspect of affairs appears to us to be chiefly referrible to the
unbridled licentiousness which has long disgraced a large portion of the public press; there being no period
of our history in which Sunday and other newspapers, and blasphemous, seditious, and infidel publications
of every kind, have attained such a height of audacity, as at the present moment; and we earnestly hope
that the government of the country will cause the aforesaid Parody, published by Mr. Thomas Harper, to be
printed at the public expence, and circulated gratis throughout the Dominion of England and Wales, and the
town of Berwick-upon-Tweed, as a
protection to good and honest men, against that torrent of irreligion and
sedition which has of late burst in upon us, and which threatens to overwhelm the most sacred institutions of
our country, as well as the comfort and security of every individual.

3.   RESOLVED, That sincerely as we deplore, in common with every well-affected Englishman, the
late public investigation into the conduct of the Queen, it is, notwithstanding, our firm belief, that an inves-
tigation of some kind was necessary, in order to encourage the son of Dr. Hughes to print ' Solomon Logwood,'
' The Radical Harmonist,'' Types of the Times,' and the other pieces written by him in ridicule of Royally, under
the signature of ' OLD Tom of Oxford,' and published for him, by W, Wright,
46, Fleet Street, one of the
members of the Society for the Suppression of Vice, and the loyal publisher of the Print of ' Toes up,' and other
equally loyal and moral publications.

4.   RESOLVED, That we consider it an indispensable duty, to enter our decided protest against the
late address to the Throne, from the Court of Common Council, because it is eminently calculated to
foment and perpetuate the discontent winch, unhappily, exists amongst Ministers at ilie present moment:
And we also earnestly protest against the arguments which were publicly urged in support of such address,
on which occasion it was distinctly asserted, that unless prevented by timely Reform, the measures of Lord
Castlereagh and Dr. Slop, would lead either to
a Revolution or a Military Despotism, and that the people were
too enlightened to submit to a Military Despotism ; an inference which, both as readers of the ' Slop-pail' and
the Courier,
we do hereby indignantly repel, believing, as we conscientiously believe, that such reasoners
are utterly unworthy of the blessings—both spiritual and temporal—which we all enjoy, and seek to enjoy.

5.   RESOLVED, That we feel it no less our duty to protest against the Resolutions of the Meeting
of the Inhabitants of this Ward on the 9th of December, which we endeavoured to frustrate by our disorderly
and tumultuous proceedings. And we deem it also necessary to protest against the Address of that
Meeting, presented to the Oueen ; and also against the Females attending with such Address, believing
that the continued excitement of the Public mind by the appearance of such inflammatory Addresses and
their Answers, is only calculated to hasten the extinction of our power and influence, which event can only be
avoided by our increasing the present state of
anarchy.

6.   RESOLVED, That under the existing circumstances of the Corporation, we consider it our duty,
to renew our assurances of attachment to Aid. Sir W. Curtis, Aid. Ansley, Aid. Bridges, Aid. Birch, Aid.
Atkins, Aid. C. Smith, Aid. Magnay, and Aid. Sir Matthew Bloxam, Knight,
and to all those other moral, re-
ligious, and loyal characters which have been held up to us by the wisdom and penetration of the other loyal
resolutionists throughout the country as
the envy and admiration of surrounding nations; not doubting, but that,
in this hour of peril, multitudes will be found, who are ready with ourselves, to defend the payment of Two
Shillings and Nine-Pence in the Pound for Tithes, and the doctrines of Passive Obedience, Non-Resistanre, and
divine Right,
from the wicked and insidious attacks which have been too long directed against them.

7.   RESOLVED, That, for the pains taken by Dr. SLOP in drawing up the Resolutions of this day, he be
permitted to. put them into the Slop-Pail at his own expense, and that they be inserted
in the Morning Post and
Courier at ours, and that copies be left for the signatures of the Inhabitants and others, at the Hole and
Corner,
Ludgate Hill, and the Pestry Room of St. Dunstan's in the West.

                                          (Signed in her own right)

                                                                                 MRS. MACDOODLE, CHAIRMAN.

RESOLVED, That our cordial thanks be given to Mrs. Macdoodle for her manbj and impartial
conduct in permitting the use of herhusband in the chair.
