The first resolution regards their determination to exert power entrusted to them, as magistrates and members of society, and co-operate with each other to maintain the law and work to end the '...outrages by which the public peace has been disturbed...' They also agree that all occupiers of land and respectable inhabitants should be called upon to co-operate with them. There was also agreement that the Lord Lieutenant should express their opinion to His Majesty's government on the forming of yeomanry and volunteer corps in the county, and to voice their opinion on the sending of a special commission to Winchester to assist them with the trials of those being held for crimes relating to the disorder, as there are nearly 200 prisoners in the gaols and bridewells of the locality. There is also unanimous agreement on the general feeling of concern for the conditions of the labouring classes, especially those not involved in the uprisings, but that they also agree that those involved have illegally and must be brought to justice.
