Agricultural Petition to both Houses of Parliament.
Mr. FOOT seconded the Petition. He thaiiked God that
Ministers must look for other tools to provide them with ad-
drosses, and not the sturdy and intlepeewlest Freeholder* of
the County of Kent. He expatiated at considerable lersgth,
seal wide great elexteence, on the distresses of the farmer,
and the impolitic conduct of the Government.
The Petition was agreed to unanimously.
The Earl of TRANCT said that the conduct of the High
Sheriff inept-hourly required stone notice front them. In the
*Maims of that meeting the High Sheriff had neither shows
due respect to the county, assf attended 19 the diode, of his
situation, which by no means entitled him to arrogate to
himself the right of deciding upon the sentiments of the
co•nty. lie then moved a vote of commie, which was se-
conded by Mr. Hetesvmooo, and carried unanimously, ex-
cept as before excepted.
