Mr. Robinson, Rev. Palmer, Mr. Moggridge, Mr. Hudson, Rev. Grove, Mr. Nash, Rev. William Wood, Mr. Milford, Rev. Bradbury, Mr. Watson, Mr. Corrie, Rev. Hammond, and Mr. John Harris of Bristol.  Dr. Hardy was chair.  At the meeting they resolved that the idea of a “Union of the Protestant Dissenters is desirable,” and they formed a committee to pursue that and the continued application to Parliament for repeal.  The committee was to consist of 21 members from London and 42 from the Country.  An initial sub-committee was formed to pursue these goals, of which Wood, B. Vaughan, Mr. Hudson, Mr. Cooper, Jeffries, West, Hardy, Nash, and Watson were chosen.
