Other alterations, connected with the Courts of Law, were about to be carried into effict, at the same place, which-ap peared to be very convenient in every respect.

The spot chosen by the Committee, who sat up stairs, was, in every respect, suited to the purpose— nod they could not, in any other part of Londmi, procure a place equally convenient, for double the expense.

He had, how ever, persevered in his"inteution, and declared if he (Alderman Wood) did not choose to present the Petition, he would, get mottle other Member to lay it before the House.

It appeared that the con duct of the Post-office "vas mat Correct—that the public were benefited by it—and further, that it tended to en increase of revenue—and yet they were Called on to receive a formal complaint against system which produced so much good. He would give every just latitude to the right of lie litiiiiiing—but.certaisily this, like many otlwr Pe 04nos that be had teem laid on the table, did not imitit out any circumstance with which the Muse Mid any business to interfere. . • Mr: LUSHINGTON could not are the difference between the Petition now - introduced, and that which had been formerly presented tidtn the setae person, and which was rejected. It was - found to complain of private loss—and the House reerpro perly left the Petitioner to seek his redress by law. Aldermen WOOD said, the present Petition was considerably altered train that which had been be fore introduced. He hoped, therefore, it could be suffered to lie on the table. The Petitioner Was one of his constituents, and very MUM in his sup pot,. He shoOld be sorry, therefore, if his Pen non were rejected.
