Resolution passed by the Huddersfield improvement commissioners.

At a monthly meeting of the Huddersfield improvement commissioners held on Wednesday, the 5th day of May, 1865, it was

Unanimously resolved, That the Huddersfield improvement commissioners, in monthly meeting assembled, feel that they cannot but give expression to their feelings of horror and indignation at the atrocious acts by which the United States of America have been suddenly deprived of their late President, and by which the lives of Mr. Secretary Seward and his two sons have been endangered.

The commissioners would also record their deep sympathy with the people of the United States, and with the widow of President Lincoln, in the irreparable loss which they have sustained through his death.

JOSEPH TURNER,
 Chairman of Commissioners.

J. W. CLOUGH,
 Clerk to the said Commissioners.
