On looking at the signatures to this petition, be found that all elutes concurred in the representations here put forth. The case they made out wire quite slurping, and if the mischief were to be ascribed, as he believed it had been by his Majesty's principal Minister to super- abundant produce, he thought the farmer ought at a events to be protected against foreign competitors, end the evils resulting ruder particular circumstances from the importation of grain. lie wished such measure, adopted as would give the farmer • market, and the la- bourer employment. The present distreu threatened to lead to the most serionucoosequences. de bad bees in- formed on authority which he could not question, that it had produced some distnrhanhes in the county of Nor- folk, and that riots had broken out in the e Muty of Suf- folk, which made it necessary to call out Um yeomanry. The Hon. Member fo r S u ff o lk would, perhaps, be able to state whether or not this was true. • Mr. GOOCH was sorry to say that that part of the HOP. Gentleman's statement which related to the comities of Norfolk and Suffolk was too true. Circumstance* of a disagreeable emcee had occurred on the borders of the county of Norfolk, and in the county of Suffolk disturb- ancet had taken place, which bad made it necessary to Ca out a pert of the yeomanry. He was the last man in the house who would conetessarily endeavenr to excite alarm; but he was bound to admit thet these facts were true. He, however, begged to oorrect a statement which 1 bad been made by the Hon. Metal or for the city of 01- ford (Mr. Lockhart), on a former night, respecting the • ti gaol at Bury, which was one of the best regulated ea- , tablishments of the Lind in the kingdom; sad which was tin , "er the care of a most respee'ab'e, humane, and intel- ligent person. Ti 15 Hon. Gent s man Is; d stated, treat in a goal which was built to contain 1110 person, at present 200 is ere confined, that of these 200 prisoners 80 were poachers. It bad also been said, that of the 80 poach- ers many had gone out poaching in order that they might get taken up, and be thus saved from starving.— Ile had bad • letter from that respectable gaoler to whom he bad already 'Buried, which stated, that instead of there being 200 print:men in h ', here were at pre- sent but 150. For the 80 poachers mentioned, but 40 were in confinement, and inquiries but been made to as. certain whether any of them had gone out to poach to • escape starving, by getting themselves taken, and it had been found that among them all there was not a single solitary instance of that nature. Mr. LOCKHART was glad to hear that the number of the prisoners was not so great as lie had understood it to be, but sorry it was not smaller than it was accord- ing to the statement of the Hon. Gentletuan. Mr. if. SUMNER mentioned a case in which the poachers confined in a Penitentiary had been employed • 1, in a mill. The effect was in .st Iseneficiai, for it had been stated, after a considerable time had erapsed, that not one of those had been so employed erer returned to colt- finement.—The petition was ordered to lie on the table. Mr. HOOCH rose to present a Petition from certain owners and occnpirrs of laud on the subject of Agricul- tural Distress. He was no: disposed to carry his poli- • tics so far as to be willing to present a Petition from any class of persons because they happened to differ from him. He bad therefore to state that this Petition was respectfully drawn up, and he hoped it would receive . from the House the attention it deserved. Haring said this there were some circumstances connected with the Petition which lie wished te advert to, and some part of • his own conduct which be desired to explain. This Pe. a tition was voted at-a large Meeting called by a requi- sition, very respectably signed, but it bad been so ma- • naged, that he believed not ten Freeholders, from Ira. wich to Yarmouth, knew that such a requisition was about to be forwarded. There was nothing in it hut what all the Freeholders, whatever their political senti- ments, might have subscribed to, he therefore did not see why it should have been kept from persons who dif- fered in some respects from those by whom it had been drawn up, but such was the course pursued. When the day of meeting arrived, he attended at Stow-market, as did several friends of his, who lived within a morning's ride of the place. Ten of these agreed there with ten of the party opposed to them to draw up a string of re- , solutions, which should be so framed, that they might pats unanimously, as it was admitted that it would he wise to keep politics out of the way altogether, The resolutions were drawn up, and he thought they were going off unriittioasly, when an individual there, of I • whom he bad no right to complain, as be was not a party to the agreement which had been entered into, broke in upon the arrangement by moving a reeoloticu !s which went to call for a Parliamentary reform. Those Gen- tlemen who had cowe to an arrangement with his fried' s, seconded and supported this proposition, and they thee entered upon • wide field of discussion. The Sherdt t : ' : would not put the resolution, as to do so would be to take the county by surprise, the meeting not having been summoned to consider of the propriety of petition- ing for a Reform in Parliament. and he therefore be- lieved that the best thing he could do was to diesel :it the meeting. He (Mr.Dooch) and the few friends with •- him retired, and afterwards the Sheriff was persuaded t to call on the instant a new meeting, io the waggon.— t He was surprised at this, as acting curb a part was taking the county completely by surprise. At this new meeting the reform proposition was carried. His worthy "col'esgue, whose absence from the House he much re- grette.l, would have supported it had be been in his place, because he, from the conviction of his honest mind, was as mach in favour of Parliamentary Reform, at ; as he (Mr. Gooch) was opposed to it. He Mimed', however. wished for Reform where this could be. ffecte I • with safety. lie (Mr. Hooch) wished to guard against a lavi'h miendifure; he wished oe punish and repress corn, ion wherever it might be detected, but he conld not go the length of calling fur that alteration in the Icoustitution which some thought necessary. He had mentioned the indisposition of his Hon. Colleague to ac- count for his not being there to support the petition, which had hien carried about six weeks for signatures, to the prayer, of which, as it now stood, he was sorry to say that he could not subscribe. Mr. COKE said, constituted as that Henn was, he ' bad no hope that the Petition now presented, or any other., would be attended to. The Hon. G en tl eman b a d told them the meeting was very nuoieroos, and so be (Mr. Coke) understood it to have been ; and he could not therefore understand how the county mulct be so touch taken by surprise as the Hon. tieutlem in sup- posed. From the conduct pursued by that House, in rejecting these Petitions, it nag cle tr th If no relief was to be expected without a reform in Parliament.
