ABSTRACT

The conference of ministers in Manchester in August 1841 was followed by one of some forty ministers in Caernarvon on 30 November at which Revd J. W. Massie and Colonel Thomas Perronet Thompson represented the League, and by the conference of Scots nonconformist ministers in Edinburgh in January 1842. The country have waited with some anxiety to discover would any arrangements be made, as have occasionally been suggested by ministers in London, to centralize a movement which would bear on the parliament and the court. The Committee reported that a few of the Ministers had expressed a preference for a Meeting consisting of Deputations from Anti-Corn Law Associations and other public bodies, to one composed of Ministers and Members of Dissenting Churches.
