[Handbill with related letter] The Following Resolutions were unanimously adopted at a crowded and enthusiastic Public Meeting held in the Lecture Room, Nelson Street, Newcastle-on-Tyne, Nov.12, 1855.

Handbill, 20 x 25cm, laid down on another piece of paper, glue showing through in patches, mainly good. The first resolution commences That this Meeting has learned with surprise and regret of the violent expulsion of Victor Hugo and his fellow exiles from Jersey, without charge, without proof, and without trial . . . contrary to the spirit of the Constitution . . . right of asylum . . . trial by jury . . . anti-English . . . despotic ruler of a neighbouring country . . . The second resolution is similar (crime in high places . . . illegal act) and the third invites copies of the resolution to be sent to Palmerston, Ledru Rollin, Mazzini, Kossuth, Herzen and others. With an Autograph Letter Signed by Joseph Cowen Jun., friend of Mazzini, etc. mover of the Ist Resolution, to John A. Langford, Blayford, 17 Nov. 1855, tipped on to the Handbill, some foxing, text clear and complete. Thanks for your pamphlet - I enclose 7 stamps for it. | We had a capital meeting last Monday - It was very fairly reported in the Daily News & Morning Advertiser [both titles underlined] on Thursday last- | Urquhart & Co have about spent themselves. Your statement of the Kossuth & Mazzini business must open the eyes of some of the dupes.
