SUMNER begged to say, that he did not approve of the measure itself, but so long as the system did exist, he would wish to see it duly executed. 2ilr.W ILSON thought that some measure should be adopted lbe the 'security of those who bad bonded corn in warehouses: NJ. GLADS'FONE spoke in approbation of the Bill. The Petition was theta referred to the Conunittee on Agri- Sukural Distress, Lord A. HAMILTON presented a Petition from certain Burgesses and Members of the Guiltily of Edinburgh, to whose case he particularly called the attention of the House. It was a case of great griev ance, which had been countenanced by the law. The' Petitioners patticulatly complained of the system of self-election of Magistrates, and consequent increase* or salaries which existed in the Guild of Edinburgh, and many other abuses consequent upon their self-. .~~ .' Lh.~~s 1 - .. PRiCR SEViN-PEMCS. election. The Burksisies to Obtain redress' for *se e ' instituted three years ego; proceedings at law against these parties, and had, in the course of that time ob tained two judgments in their favour from the Couit of Session in Scotland, but owing to the power pos sessed by the Magistrates of Edinburgh, they had beers able to elude their judgMents which, it ap• peared were not binding. ,The Magistrates had thrown every legal impediment in the way, and the Petitioners, after having their resources wasted in law expenses, and seeing no prospect of obtaining a rectification of the abuses they complained of, ap plied to that House for redress. He hoped the House would give every attention to the matter, as he was convinced that, if they did not, there would be no hope for the Petitioners. ,The Petition having been brought up and read, Mr. ABERCItOMBY said, he gave his cordial as sent to the sentiments contained in the Petition, and he recommended the consideration of it to the House as a subject most deservin& . g):" and peremptorily re-' quiring, their attention. abuses complained of in this Petition were such as animated the breasts of 69Q,000 persons in Sc - otland, who felt that their rights, property, and claims had been materially in. jured by the long continuance of a system of self election, opening a door to the greatest abuses. and dealing out the heaviest penalties upon the whole Scotch nation. He was bound to assume that the al- legations in the Petition were true, for the Right Ho nourable Member for Edinburgh, and the cord Ad vocate, opposite, listened to tnem and the statement of the Noble Lord, without offering any contradiction. Mr. DUNDAS said it was not his intention to take up the time of the House by arguing the merits of 1 this case; but he must remind the Honourable Gen- denim and the Noble Lord opposite, that three years ago a Committee of that House decided this question. The facts of the case were, that two parties got to law together, and one.being deteated, applied to that House to do what the law refused. He had no doubt the statement of the Petitioners, as to the expense they had been put to, was entitled to the fullest cre dit. Had they asked his advice, he would have re commended them on no account to go into a Court of Law, the inevitable consequence of which must be discomfiture to one party, and most expensive liti gation to both. He could not exactly see what that House could make of this application ; but his a - vice to the Petitioners was, that they should drop their arms, and sit themselves down in peace with their neighbours. Mr. HUME asked, if it was to be , wondered at that the Right Honourable Gentleman (Mr. Dundas) should recommend the parties to drop their arms, when it was known that he owed his seat in that House to the dictum' of this self-elected Magistracy, and which Magistracy, having been twice decided w have been illegally chosen, by the Court of Session in Scotland, that Right Honourable Gentleman had sat in that House tor two Sessions illegally P-- Notwithstanding the character given to the matter by the Right Honourable Gentleman, he hoped the House would not turn away from the investigation of it. It was matter of complaint all over the king dom, and upwards of £350,000 of the public pros perty was suspended under the system of which these Petitioners complained. Having spent their time in litigation, they applied in despair to that House, and he hoped it would redress their wrongs. Sir R. FERGUSON highly commended the very able and clear manner in which his Honourable Friend ho had just spoken, had explained the case of the Petitioners. He could not agree to this Petition being referred to the Committee on Scotch Burghs, which, from the experience he had had of it, was so averr from anything like a change, that there would be no hope of obtaining redress Irete. That Committee he thought had done nothing and he intended to withdraw from it shortly, and was sure his Noble Friend (Lord A. Hamilton) only continued to be Chairman of it from a sense of duty. The LORD ADVOCATE vindicated the condrict of the Committee appointed to inquire into the state of Scotch Burghs. That. Committee had now been engaged three years, and when its Report was laid before the House, it would be seen that they had not been idle, but had investigated every case that had come before them with the utmost impartiality. Lord A. HAMILTON pressed the case of the Pe titioners on the attention of the House. He hoped it would-not be thought necessary to await the Report of the Committee in question, in order to decide upon the merits of the case, as he perfectly concurred with his Honourable Friend (Sir R. Ferguson) in the cha racter he gave that Committee. There was not a Lawyer in Scotland who did not believe that the de cision of the Court of Session against the Magis tracy of Edinburgh was a just and, correct one. He implored the House to consider that the Petitioners had been three years engaged in law before they troubled that House with their application. Mr. J. P. GRANT stated, that owing to the de. lays of the Couit of Session, it made it impossible for the Petitioners to take any course than apply to that House for redress, as there seemed to be no likelihood of their case being decided upon, before they became ruined from the expense of the suit. The Petition was then ordered to be printed. ROMAN CATHOLIC BILL. The Order of the Dayroi th'ethiid reading or t he Roman Catholic Disabilities Removal Bill being mid, Mr. CRORER rose to ask the Rightlion. Bart. (Sir J. Newport) whether he had any more amend. menu to propose to this'Bill ? Sir J.NEWPORT said, that at present he could not answer the question, bui if the lion. Gentleman would only wait a little time, he- could judge from . the turn which the debate would take. 1 Mr. CROKER said, his only reason for asking the question was to leArn whether these new amend ments might not, at some future tin!, produce ano. ther debate. Sir W. SCOTT then rose to statt objections to 1..4.01 2 .44 - _aiwusia ._,~;; •! -~ •'~•'''
