Similar Petitions were presented by Lord ROLLE from several Parishes in Devonshire ; by the Bishop of BATH and WELLS, from the Clergy of the Arcbdeaconry of Wells. The Marquess of LANSDOWN presented Peti tions in favour of the Catholics, from the Roman Catholic Inha bitants of certain Parishes in the County of Galway; of certain Parishes in Queen's County ; ftom a Parish in the City of Lime rick. .; The NOBLE MARQUESS then moved that the Order of the Day, which stood for their consideration on March Bth, be postponed till March lb.—Ordered their Lordships to be summoned on that day. Lord CLIFDEN presented Petitions in favour of the Catholics from the County of Wexford ; from the Catholic inhabitants of the Parish of Saint Patrick, in the City of Water ford, and other Parishes.

The Earl of CAERNAR VON presented a peti- tion from certain districts of Snowden, imploring their Lordships to take the case of the petitioners into their consideration. The petitioners, who were mostly stone-quarriers in that neighbour hood, had inclosed some waste grounds, and had cultivated them, from which they were now to be ejected by au Inclosure Bill. They understood the Crown was Lord of the Soil ; and, as they had cultivated the ground, not knowing they were doing any wrong, they appealed to their Lordships to prevent them from losing their labour. Lord ELLENBOROUGH complained, that soma Returns ordered by their Lordships, so long ago as February 14, had not yet been made, and he moved that the order be forthwith complied with.--Ordered.

MALMESBURY presented eighteen petitions from t.ie Owners and Occupiers of Land in the East Riding of Yorkshire, against any alterations of the Cern Laws. Also, that an humble Address he presented to his Majesty praying that he would he pleased to lay before their Lordships such infor mation as he may have received, relative to any duties now im posed on British Goods, when imported into Russia. Also, the same information relative to Prussia, France, and the United States of America.—The Address was agreed to. Similar petitions to those presented by the Earl of Malmesbury, were presented by Lord Harborough, from several Parishes in Lincolnshire ; by Lord Brownlow, also, from several parishes in Lincolnshire ; by the Earl of Macclesfield, from several parishes in Oxfordshire, some of which petitions prayed, moreover, that the Winchester measure might be restored ; by Lord Teynham, from several parishes in the Eastern part of the County of lieut. His Lordship said, these petitions were presented because the Ministers had said they wished to collect the sense of the country. That sense was, he thought, now collected, and from one end to the other, was decidedly opposed to any alteration of the Corn Laws. He called on their Lordships to resist the alteration, for it had been hatched and brooded by the French Revolution. The commencement of that Revolution was introduced by calling for a free trade in corn ; and by a free trade in corn the advocates for that Revolution hoped to overturn the Altar and annihilate the Throne. At these sacred institutions their attacks were, in reality, directed, and he called energetically on their Lordships to resist them. Similar petitions were presented by the Earl of Hardwieke, From several Parisbe3 in Cambridgeshire ; by Lord Grantham, from Ripon, in Yorkshire ; by the Earl of Darlington, from the Landowners and Occupiers of Land in the County of Dur ham ; and by the Marquess of Camden, from three Parishes in Kent. Lord KING rose to present a petition against that never-ending subject, the Corn Laws. His Lordship then pre sented a petition from the Merchants, Householders, and Inhabi tants of the Borough of Southwark, praying for a repeal of the Corn Laws. His Lordship also presented similar petitions from the Anti-Bread Tax Association, No. S 5, from the Cloth Manu facturers of Burley, in Gloucestershire, and from the Weavers of certain parishes in Forfarshire. Similar petitions were presented by Lord AUCK LAND, for the Lord Lieutenant of the County of Lancaster, from the Clergy, Gentlemen, and Manufacturers of Blackburn, in Lan cashire ; and by The Earl of HARROWBY from Mr. Marmaduke Martin, an Accountant of Liverpool. The Noble Earl said this Petition, as containing many curious statements of the quantity of corn grown in England, and its value, as well as the value of seve ral of our manufactures, was well worthy of their Lordships' at tention, though he must say he did not agree with the prayer of the petition, which was for a perfect free trade in corn. Lord WHARNCLIFFE presented a petition, praying for an alteration in the Corn Laws, from some place in Lancashire. GAME LAWS. The NOBLE BAll.6l4ihen presented a petition I from the Magistrates of the County of Suffolk, assembled at Bury Saint-Edmunds, praying their Lordships to take into consideration the state of the Game Laws. This Peti tion, the Noble Baron said, related to the subject to which it was his duty to call their Lordships' attention. He ought, perhaps, to apologize to their Lordships, when he had been so lately called to a seat in that House, for bringing the subject bike them, but it was one which he had anxiously de liberated on for many years, and had, while he was a Mem ber of the other House of Parliament, proposed two measures— one of which, after much consideration, and many discussions, was sent up to their Lordships, and by them rejected. He did not expect to be able to remove all the evils, or even a greater part of them, which spring from the Game Laws, but with those laws no man was satisfied. He was himself a country gentleman—fond of the sports of the field, and wished on no account to do any thing to injure or destroy them. No man was more sensible than he was of the advantage of country gentlemen residing on their estate; but if that advantage were to he purchased at the expellee of retaining all the gross evils of the present laws, he should say it would be too dearly bought—(Hear, hear.) He would go at once to th e f oun d a ti on o f th ese l aws , an d I n quire who were the persons to whom the game originallybelonged. — There was nothing snore likely to do mischief than a popular author adopting an error. B y means of his authority it was al lowed to pass uncontradicted, and the dictum of such a IT-m3117.s taken to be the law. He found a dictum of th is description in Judge Blackstone's Commentaries. That was the most popular law book in the English language, and the errors of that Judge might do a great deal of harm. He was deservedly ranked high as authority, but he had laid down a plition . which was false law. He says that game a' e ffernnaturas—wi d things, not pro perty, and belonging to nobody but the King, which he gave the subjecis liberty to kill. For this there was no foundation but the dictum of that learned person. It was not the law of the land ; it never had been the law ; the King never had, and never claimed, any such power in this country. By the old Common Law, the subjects had a right to kill all wild animals ; and that right, till it was limited by Statute Law, was full and complete. Whoever owned the land owned the game, and might do with it what they liked. Cujus est so lum ejus est esque ad coelum et ad inferos. This was the old state of things under the Common Law. Not to enter into all the details of the subject, he would come next to the qualifications which were subsequently established, and under which game was now killed. The first law which established these qualifications—for they were unknown before—was the Statute of the 22d and 23d of Charles 11. and he would trespass on their Lordships while he called their attention to those quail& tions. Unless a person were qualified, he could not preserve nor kill game. But there were a number of unqualified persons who might wish to get game for their own table, and who, he thought, should be able to procure it if they liked ; and though he was dis posed to look favourably on the principle of allowing game to be : i ---- , r 4 ,s , • 0` ....,........„.... 1 .0*. :.. •-:" i .

With respect to the qualifications-a, if a man had a freehold property of one hundred pounds a y ear , or held a lease of the yearly value of one hundred and flity pounds for the terns of 99 years, he was a qualified person. Nothing else but the possession of this property gave a qualification. A s to the former, it was easy to see, that at the time it was ma. blished, it was supposed that if a man had land of that annual Value, he had enough to sport over. The spirit of such an enact ment might be easily seen. As to the other qualification, he wished to ask their Lordship' to look at the conse quences of it. He was addressing a body of Landowners, —of Noble Peers—and among his Noble Friends were some Scotch and Irish Peers, some of whom might not posse's estates in England ; and they might not be ay?'are, that, according to the law, they might be fined five pounds every time they went out a shooting in England. even such Peers as had estates in England, the whole of their Lordships, might give a qualifica tion to their eldest son ; but they could not, Without violating the law, allow their second son to go a shooting vier their own grourgls. The eldest son of an Irish Peer was a qualified person , as long as his father lived ; but whenever his father died, and hr became a Peer, lie was disqualified. Their Lordships wenlti : hardly believe all these statements, as he should not have believseo them unless he had seen them stated by authority. But how did these qualifications apply to persons having large property in the funds ? lie would explain this to their Lordships by one instance. He knew a gentleman, a very wealthy man, who was fond of shooting, and who hired a manor that he might enjoy this sport. He went out shooting, and the next day was informed against, and had to pay a fine of 51. fcr shooting over the manor he had hired. A man who owned manors and might preserve game, might at the same time have his second son, were he to shoot on these manors, informed against and fined. What security, he would ask, did this state. of the law, give to te untry gentlemen that their field sports would be. uninjur,ed ? would then pro ceed to another point. Suppaz a qualified person came to shoot on any of their Lordships' grounds; they might send their game keeper to warn him off, and ask his 'lame ; but he might not choose to go, and might continue shooting, and for this there was no'Other remedy but to prosecute the offender for a trespass. Their Lordships must go to the Sessions, and there come fault in the declaration, or failing to cserply with some of ese for malities required by the law, might expose them, in addititN to the trouble, to all the expence. If r,, ureualified person tres passed, and his name were known of -Tull he procured, he might be taken up under the authority of the sth of Anne; but if his name were not known, or could not be procured, he might go away, and the person en whose ground he treepassse had ro re dress. But the unqualified parson might go on and spr tto dey for the payment of Si., for he could only be convicted en one end the same day in one penalty. Under the law at present t here was no security, therefore, against trespassing. He thought it would he much better if Landlords, instead of being drive n to their action T of trespass, in cases of trespass, should have the opportunity of seising the offender, and bringing him before a Magiattate, who should be empowered to inflict a summary punishment, of a nature not too severe. His object was, to do away the present legal qualification to kill game, and open the sale; hut, at the same time, to afford facilities to the land owners in their proceedings against trespassers. Then, as to the selling of game—the first Statute prohibiting the selling of it, that he could find, was one of Henry the Seventh, which rendered it illegal for tiny:milted nersons to sell game. The first Statute that he could find, ren dering it illegal for even qualified persons to sell game, was the 28th of George the Second. But this Statute imposed penalties for the selling of 'aloe, and not on the buying. One of his objects was to do away with these Statutes, and allow game to be freely sold and bought. It ought to be considered by their Lordships, that the state of society was much altered from that which formerly (prevailed. Let the Landowners make what laws, and impose what penalties they might think proper, game would, in the present circumstances of society, be sold in spite of every thing. Riches would procure game at whatever cost, and it was in vain to think that the rich Aldermen of London, and the great body of the rich fundholders in general, would Ise without it. Then, since buying and selling of game could not be prevented or materially diminished by any legislative enact ment, let the game be freely sold and bought. But at the same time it roust be admitted, that after a contrary system had pre vailed so long, it might be prejudicial for two or three years if it were allowed to sell game at once freely, in open market ; and, therefore, he would propose, that in the first instance, the selling of game should be confined to certain persons licensed by the Magistrates for that purpose, so that a perfect freedom of selling might be opened by degrees. Their Lordships would please to reflect on the great injustice, both real and apparent, which attended these qualifications on law. Here was he, for instance, with 100 acres of land, or with 1001. a-year in land, whichever it might be, and be was qualified; and there was his next neighbour with 99 acres, or 99/. a-year from land, who was not. This gave a most undue advantage to his land, and had a tendency to excite against him the feelings of all his neighbours, who, on such slender grounds, were deprived of a similar advantage. To remedy these inconveniences would be the object of the first Bill which he would lay on the table of their Lordships. In the next place, he would call their Lordships' attention to the law as it stood with respect to going out at night as poachers to kill game ; and here their Lordships would have to consider the dismal condition to which this country was reduced by the demoralization of the lower classes. Whoever read the public papers cf the country must be well aware of this fact.—(Hear, hear.)—What with the undue severity of the Game Laws, and the distress to which the coun try was reduced, it so happened that the feelings of the commu nity were turned against the unfortunate game-keeper, who only did his duty, and not against the thief and the poacher. Let this state of things be amended as far as the Gam e laws were con cerned, otherwise all law on the subject would be to no purpose,— The object of the second Bill which he would take the liberty to submit to their Lordships, would be to alter the provisions of the Game Laws, as far as respected persons going out and poach ing at night. The judgment of felony and punishment of trans portation was certainly very severe, as far as respected persons so offending for the first time ; and the consequence was, that the public in general sympathised with such such persons, and that Juries often forgot their duty. It might certainly happen that, when persons frequently transgressed, and were found to iftbnooergbpteuhi, t nei msfihoresrdte depredators foo t ff h r e a tnnhcoeepf.rfioarbssaHt still His propos i tion, ffm t e h onr a ce t e h be they iynotuh w e et r eh e mn description,or sv e e they likely be desperate and incorrigible depredators in this way, might,render sri in such a case, be properly enough sent out of the country. Bu t .it was a hard measure that this punishment should be inflicted per son convicted for thus going out poaching at night ghoul' and hard labour, and be bound to find sureties for his good behaviour for a short period. For the second offence, he pro posed that the punishment should be six months' imprisonment and hard labour, with security for the offender's good behaviour for a longer period ; and that for the third o ff ence the _ e d l ßill quent should be liable to be sent out of the country. h The would also enact, that when persons of the above vc descr i p tion un , should actually assault a keeper, they s hould he s s c g arg r% p from 's u n a It often happened, no doubt, thatgserseonntes But his Lord went out rather worse than w h n e c n es h t e that if such persons were 'my"; imthpait•isaomenit ree ship was convinced by p! c onnexions, they would re flect,behaviour, from their relations and_ Manors eallreoard with ed to their old courses, they would com that if they r eturn i fi th rs r t only themselves, but their relations and friends, and promise, not f them would be deterred by that consideration from many 0 fol lowing up their desperate and wicked career. After the firs: obliged to procure a noteeoxfrie hand, or some security for their good offence only, their relations and friends would generally be ready to become security for them. The Noble Lord opposite shook his head at this, but he had no doubt, from the attentions he bad paid to these, but that such would be the case. These were the provisions w hi c h he would submit for their Lordships' considera tion and adoption ; but he did not (we understood his Lordship t t o h esay) gave mean in t the e o touch firs t Bill,t right of Lord s oved that of ft espect to the game on their wastes.—(ilear, hear.)
