Mr. GOOCH presented • Petition from the Hundred of
Hozley, in the toasty of Suffolk, praying relief to Agrical-
lure. They humbly renominated a reduction of the prblic
expenditure ; they complained of the change of the cur-
rency, aud the import at los of eoria,at the causes of distress;
sod they stated that uu additioual relief was promised by the
Report of the Committee of Agriculture ; he wished to
state, that perhaps some responsibility might devolve upon
him as Chairman of that Committee. If u, he did out wish
to shrink from it ; his only cadencsr was to do his defy to
his constituents aud the country. He was of opinion there
was nothing in the Relied that promised inimediste relief;
hot such was the great extent of distress, that it appeared
impossible to bring forward say mestere that could afford im-
mediate relief. On the subject of the duties recommended
by the Committee, he wished to state that he perfectly coo-
coned in the Necessity of them, but lot %Tom the
quantity ; for be thought the duties they proposed would
nut afford 'eeriest protection, sod he thought the pre-
sent Corn Boil hinter shoo to lateaditee sap sew system
which would be imatfrepsor— to prodnew the relief in-
tended. Should the Horn sod the disietry be of opinion
that the Committee had not eatesded their isquiries sun
drolly, sod if they thought they weir likely to produce any
Rood by it, he for one was willing to devote twice as lung a
lime as they bad been already wearied; and if the Com-
oilier, were renweed, he would most cheerfully devote his
services to produce any relief to the country. There was
one subject moie mentioned its the Petition which would,
no
doubt, giie satisfaction to Gentlemen opposite : the Pe-
titioners complained of the defective stale of the Represem
win, and prayed for a speedy and effectual Reform of Par-
liament.—(Cheers.)--He was no advocate fur that sweeping
Reform, because be thought it would not put one shilling in
the pocket of the farmer.
Mr. HUME said, he was anxious to make an observation
non what had fallen from the Hunerabse afenther who had
just pennies! the Petitiom net was not the first uor the
second lime that Honourable Gentleman had expressed his
great anxiety to relieve the distresses of the country; but
what proof had they that his professions were sincere Ow
no one occasion, when • motion was made to reduce tax.
mion, was his name to be fond is support of economy, an.
leas, perhaps, on !be.vole for reducing the Postraasters.Ge-
neral, or the Lords of the Admiralty. IYhere, theu,•sa the
neut. making these declaiming, if a man was not deter-
alibied to act up to them? All be seemed to be thinking of
war, the beet mode of raising the price of corn ; and so wholly
occupied was he with that subject, that lie hail almost forgot
that important part of the Petition which prayed for Re-
form. But the lorded proprietors in that House should not
merely Mead to increase the price of corn, but they should
anxiously endeavour to reduce taxation, so that the British
farmer might be enabled to raise Ms corn at a cheaper rate.
Formerly, perhaps sixty or seventy pears ago, England was
an exporting country, bi cause thee the Engloh farmer could
grow his corn UN WOMB that would enable him to compete
with the foreigner. He made these remarks ea order that
the Honourable Member (Mr. Gooch) and his emollients
might underetaad earls other. He pre Missed himself anxious
to reduce taxation, but whenever a motion was made to that
effect, he did not give his vote. However, he hoped in fu.
lure he would make amends for what be must consider was
• neglect of his duty. Let the Noble Marquis produce what
measure he pleased, it was impossible to afford relief without
reducing our rxpenditnre.
The Petition was then ordered to lie upon the table.
