Fix this textSurrey, M.P., in the chair. The noble
Fix this textchairman was supported on his right, by B.
Fix this textRotch, Esq., Justice of the Peace; and on

Fix this textThere were on the platform, besides the

Fix this textJoseph Eaton, William Janson, John Hull,

Fix this textA few minutes after six o’clock, the Earl
Fix this textof Arundel entered the hall, accompanied
Fix this textby several members of the committee and
Fix this textother gentlemen, and immediately occupied
Fix this textthe chair. His lordship on rising, was
Fix this textgreeted with loud and universal cheering, at
Fix this textthe subsiding of which, he said, —Ladies and
Fix this textgentlemen, Although fully conscious of my
Fix this textinability to discharge properly the station
Fix this textwhich 1 have this day the honour of filling,
Fix this textyet, as the firm friend of the good and
Fix this textrighteous cause which has assembled us all
Fix this texthere, I could not decline, when requested to
Fix this texttake the chair upon this occasion (hear,
Fix this texthear). Gentlemen, this is the fourth annual
Fix this textmeeting of the National Temperance So-
Fix this textciety ; and how many families have been
Fix this textrendered happy, since the first of these
Fix this textmeetings, by the promulgation of these
Fix this textprinciples, which drive strife and wickedness
Fix this textfrom the home of the working man ! (hear,
Fix this texthear). I will not detain yon by entering
Fix this textinto a hackneyed list of the numerous cases of
Fix this textbenefit which have been wrought by teeto-
Fix this texttalism, but I will leave that duty to be per-
Fix this textformed by those who have taken a much
Fix this textmore prominent part in this great cause
Fix this textthan I have been able to do (cheers).
Fix this textW. Cash, Esq., read an abstract of the
Fix this textreport.
Fix this textRev. W. W. Robinson, A.M., Incumbent
Fix this textof Christ’s Church, Chelsea, rose to move
Fix this textthe first resolution, —“ That this meeting
Fix this textrecords with thankfulness the progress of the
Fix this texttemperance cause, and the results of the
Fix this textNational Temperance Society’s operations ;
Fix this textand especially approves of the efforts now
Fix this textmaking for the re-organisation of the pro-
Fix this textvincial societies, and a complete system of
Fix this textloan tract distribution —the opening of read-
Fix this texting-rooms—and other means likely to secure
Fix this textthe permanent establishment of the temper-
Fix this textance cause.”
Fix this textChristian friends, —I have been by the
Fix this textprovidence of God, nearly six years, a firm
Fix this textIt's easy and takes two shakes of a lamb's tail!
