At a Meeting of the Hosiers held this day at the Exchange, Mr. SAMUEL COLTMAN, in the Chair, it is resolved unanimously.
1st. That although an advance of wages is highly desirable, the Manufacturers present are not sufficiently numerous to decide upon it.
2d. That a General Meeting of the Hosiers be held on Tuesday, the 21st June, at the Exchange, at three o’clock, when it is hoped that the situation of the Manufactory will be more favourable to an advance in wages than the present time.
3d. That the thanks of the Meeting be given to the Chairman.
Leicester, April 19th, 1814.
