who had petitioned the House, complaining of au undue
eel/11'11 ISt the late election fur the Borough of Cnmelford, had
neglected iu due time to enter into the necessary recogni-
zance..

The order for taking the Petition into consideration WAS
therefore discharged.

Burgh of Banff, against the Scotch Burgh Account Bill —.
Oidered to he on the iabie.

BANKRUPT LAWS.

Mr. CURWEN rose to present a Petition from an indivi-
dual, of wh he had too knowledge. From the statement
which he received, lie understood the Petitioner bad already
presented three Petitions to the House, complaining of
that part of the Bill for altering the Bankrupt Laws which
applied to the impiisonment of bankrupts, for not giving
satisfactory answers to the Commissioners. The Petitioner,
John Dufresne, bail viiffcred a lung imprisonment frum the
manner in which this power had been exercised by the Com-
missioners. and be o!ejrcted to the continuance of the same
power its the new Hill.
Sir J Gn time objected to the reception of this Petilien.
if every man were lobe suffered to arraign judicial peoreed-
lugs without adequate remove, there would be uu time for
traosactiog any other business.
Mr. Cuaereit said, that as the lion. Baronet had slated
no reason why the Petition should nut he received, he (Ir.
Curwen) saw no reason why it should not lie on the table.
He thought the 11-use should never refuse to receive the
Petitions of any individuals when they were marked iu
proper and respectful terms —(lleor.)—ln his opinion,
those Honourable Members who had presented the former
Petitions, might have moved that the Petitioner be heard at
the bar, in support of the allegations he had adduced. He
was inclined to give notice that he should have that oppor-
tunity rust n future day.
(Velem' Gascovise mid, that the proper time for the Pe-
titioner to have !sought a licaritig was before the Committee,
as he had neglected that, the House would, be thotight, have
been very prodigal or its own time, if it permitted him to
be now besot at the bar in the manner be prayed.
Sir JObri 11E1M-we enuctirred in the opinion, that in the
Committee the P. lit ritier ought to hive sought a hearing,
suit thought it woold lie a waste of time to bear tint. al the
bur wow. If this Petitioner received such an
