AGGREGATE MEETING
To the Editor of the Dublin Journal.

Sir,
I have repeatedly warned the Sheriffs of the danger and impropriety of this Meeting;- I have shewn that a Sheriff, H.S.Reilly, has been attached after a solemn argument in the Court of King's Bench, where the most able Lawyers of the time were employed on both sides, and where, after full deliberation, the Judges unanimously declared its illegality;- I have shewn that about the same time, the City Sheriffs had called one of those Mob-meetings at the Tholsel, that the Attorney General appeared in the assembly, warned the Sheriffs of the danger which they had incurred, and advised them to dismiss the meeting, otherwise he would be under the painful necessity of moving to attach them, in the Court of King's Bench, which advice they had good sense to follow.- Yet, after these statements, which are incontrovertibly true, a Morning Paper cries out - "Sheriffs, you are called upon by respectable Citizens; the Assembly is a legal one, and you must not compromise our rights."
Now, without stopping to enquire concerning the respectability of the callers, allow me to ask, by what principle of Common Law, by what Statute, by what Charter, those Mob Meetings are legalized ? Do not all our Statutes go to enable the Magistrates to disperse Mobs and Mob Meetings ? If they were legal, the Laws would not be framed in opposition to them. I recollect, and probably so do some of the Promoters of Aggregate Meetings, the Popish Parliament in Francis-street Mass-house, and the United Irishmen whom the Sheriff turned out of the Taylors' Hall, Back-lane :- As to the first of these assemblies, I believe it was permitted to sit during its own pleasure, but to that in Back-lane, the Riot Act was read, which it would not have obeyed, had the Law been on its side.
That those assemblies are illegal, I hope will no longer be denied; let us now look at their expediency.
Those assemblies are not of very remote antiquity; or if they be, unfortunately the records of their proceedings are not to be found amongst the Rolls.
I believe, I recollect the first of them, it took place on the flags of the Old Tholsel, when Tucker and Warren were Sheriffs. The place where it was holden was peculiarly well adapted to such a meeting, as all the porters, shoe cleaners, not to mention bailiffs and constables, in a word, all who were wont to ply about the Four Courts, then in Christ Church-lane, and then about the Tholsel, were such to add themselves to the number of the active citizens, and give at least bulk if not respectability to the mass.
At this assembly I was present; and, Mr.Faulkner, were it not noted in your Journal of those times, you might be guessing to the Day of Judgement before you would hit upon the subject. - The subject was To Petition Parliament AGAINST An Absentee Tax.
The case was thus :- the Government of that time seeing the waste and desolate state of Ireland, knowing that the great land-owners drew from thence immense sums yearly, seeing agriculture neglected - seeing an almost entire neglect of manufactures, for Mr.Foster had not then brought agriculture and manufacture to a state of perfection, which enables us to pay our absentees (whose numbers, through the loving kindness of the newspapers, and the insurrections and midnight robberies for arms, which the friends of liberty excite, are much encreased) without emitting cash; in this state. I say, the Government saw our Country, and resolved to save it by an Absentee Tax, intended at once to bring back to their Country, either the Land Proprietors, or a part of the wealth which they yearly drained, and which would in the shape of Revenue be applied to the exigencies of the State.
Will it be believed, Mr.Faulkner, that this project was opposed by the whole body of the Ponsonbys, agents for the Duke of Devonshire, in his boroughs and estates. An honourable Baronet, still living, stood upon an elevated post at the foot of the ballustrade, I see him still in my mind's eye, he declaimed vehemently against the tax, which, he said, would lead to a Land-tax; and all the gentry whom I have described, as adding bulk to the meeting, murmured hoarse applause.
A young citizen, who seemed to be well acquainted with the writings of Swift, Molineaux, and Lucas, with great diffidence and hesitating voice, replied to all the arguments of the Baronet, demonstrated that a Land-tax was the most just and equitable that could be laid - that, at all events, an Absentee Tax had ever been the desire of the best political writers of this Nation, and it were madness to refuse it now.
After the uproareous mob had duly hissed and hooted this young man - "D--n the impudence of the fellow ! - Who is he ? - Didn't we come here to oppose the Castle ! - He must be an hireling ! - Turn him out !" - the question was put and carried, with the young Citizen's single negative; in vain the Baronet and Leaders endeavoured to soothe and persuade him to withdraw his opposition, he remained inflexible;- but a petition against an Absentee Tax was forthwith drawn up and presented.
This was the first Aggregate Meeting of which I ever heard; - and from this to the present day, although there have been several, I am at a loss to discover that any one of them ever produced good.
An Old Citizen.

The Treasurer of the Old Men's Asylum thankfully acknowledges to have received from Mr.Norris, by the hands of Mr.Lowther, �2, and from two friends, by the same, �2.

A CHARITY SERMON
Will be Preached in the Parish Church of Taney,
Dundrum.
By the Rev. JOHN WEBB, L.L.D.
And a Collection will be made for the Support of the Charity
Schools of that Parish,

Where the Children of every Religious Denomination (Forty-five Boys and Forty-one Girls), are carefully instructed in the Principles of the Christian Religion, in Reading, Writing, and Arithmetic, and the Girls taught to Sew, Knit, and Spin. Seventy-nine have received Clothing from an actual Sense of Merit in Education, &c. &c. - Two Thousand and Sixty-three Breakfasts were provided during the Inclemency of the last Winter Season. For those liberal, enlightened, and humane Persons, who will consider have very small a Portion of their superfluous Wealth would contribute to the Relief and future Happiness of a Number of their Fellow-creatures, the Governors are sanguine in their Expectations of Assistance.
Such benevolent Persons as cannot attend the Sermon are requested to send their Benefactions to the Rev. Mat. Campbell, (Curate), Alderman Hone, (Treasurer), Peter Digges La Touche, or Wm.Ridgeway, Esqrs. (Church Wardens).
