After having taken away every thing that was valuable at Dominica, and fent the prifoners to Guadeloupe, he reimbarked on the 27th, and made for Guadeloupe, where he anchored at Balliterre.

The Noble Lord prefaced his motion that the Petition mould lie on the Table, by Outing the Houfe that the cafe of the Peti , tioners was one of peculiar Severity, and ftrongly entitled to the attention of :he Houfe. Is was a great hardihip, he obferved, that thole pn..r men mould not, after fereing a long apprenticeship, have at Icatt a fair cpporinuity of employment. fide the nuntber of apprentkes Introduced of Lite years into their trade, which exceed ed very far indeed the proportion ever Ica wn baore In any me chanical profeffion in this country, excluded the journeymen from almoft even the chance of being able to cam their fuhliftenec.-- Indeed in many irdlances thefe journeymen were refuted employ mein, unlefs they confented to figs a Second con:radt or indenture for five or (even years, on Inch terms as the matters thought pro per to prcfcrthe.

However, notwith landing thole eels of injußice and oppreffion, it was not the with of the journeymen to engage in any litigation with their mailers, but nth• rto have matters fettled amicably. It was not his defire, the Noble Lord flared, to interfere with the freedom of trade, but the Houfe would recoiled that fuels an interference was warranted by the operation of the Combination Law—and that in this in- Rance he had a precedent precifely in point, he meant the Silk Weaver's Aft, which limited the number of apprentices which matters Ihould take. The Petitioners, he united, world meet that confideration from the Houle which their conduit deferved. They had not retorted to thole combinations which were injurious to tradeland the peace of the country, but appealed to that Houfe for redrefs. It was much to be wined that their example mould have a due influeoce upon all the journeymen throughout the coun try, and he had no doubt that the fate of this Petition Would be fuels as to encourage thole journeymen to feel that, when they had any real grievances to complain of, they might apply to that Houle with confidence of redrefa. The Noble Lord concluded with ob - (erring, that he did not mean to take any proceeding this Scffion upon his Petition, and he hoped the conduel of the malt= in the eowfe of the reeds would render any ft:niter proceedings unttecef fury.
