AGRICULTURAL DISTRESS.
Lord SUFFIELD said, he rose fur the purpose of
presenting a Petition to their Lordships from the
Owners and Occupiers of Land in the county of
Norfolk. agleed to at • pohlic meeting which was
convened 18 hike into consideration the agricultural
distress of time country. He could have wished that
the Noble Earl (Albessark) who was deputed to
'present the Petition to their Lordships had not
been prevented from doing so, as he would have
been able to state the real grievances and the suf-
ferings of the Petitioners much better than he
could ; at the same time, be would be wanting in
duty if he slid not express his sense of the high
honour conferred en him by being intrusted by the
Noble Earl with the Petition. It was the first
time he had the honour of sitting amongst their
Lordships, and be hoped they would give him
their indulgence if he occupied more of their time
than they might think the presenting of the Peti-
tion required. It complained of agricultural dis-
tress, and attributed as the cause of that distress
high taxation. It prayed for • reduction of the
taxes, retrenchment in the public expenditure, and
Parliamentary Reform. The Petitioners at one time
were, as agriculturists, great and powerful ; they
were now sunk into • state of despondency. He
would, perhops, perform his duty better by en-
tering iuto the general distress of the country
than that of a particular county. He was convinced
that agvicultural distress was general throughout
the whole country ; but there were some classes
who did not feel it, as provisions were cheaper ; one
class beyond all others did not feel it—his hid-
jesty's Ministers stud their dependants, for they
received their salaries at a fixed ratio.--(Hear,
hear.)—The meeting at which the Petition was
adapted iras.cialled in a legal and regular wow
by the High Sheriff of the county, and it was at-
tended by the most respectable persons in the
county, at least by those who possessed the greater
number of acres in it. They first took into their
consideration the agricultural distress, and the
cause of it, and they came to the opinion that it was
caused by over taxation. It was not • party meet-
ing, for there were persons of both parties there.
The two Representatives of the county were pre-
sent, with their different interests, and theme were
persons of no party, stud they all unanimously
came to the same conclusion; and it was declared
by one of the Members of the county, who gene-
rally supported the measures of Ministers, that
the diminution of the taxes was the only means of
relief. He would, if he was allowed, take no-
tice of the relief proposed in the other House of
Parliament, that of taking off of the malt duty Is.
on the bushel would not be considered us such,
nod the people of the county of Norfolk would
express their dissatisfaction at it. As to the relief
proposed to he given by advancing a sum of money
to different parishes to enable them to pay the poor
rates, it wontd be only putting into the bends of
an overseer of a parish, what stn men in private
life would do, after a young man had expeu d.
ed his patrimony to give him another sum to ex-
pend also, and enable him to follow his extrava-
gant course of living. Many persons thought it
was not in the power of his Moiety's Government
to advise a retrenchment in the public expend'.
lure, and he agreed with them, and when he said
so lie spoke honestly, for he was cotivinced if they
made a sweeping reduction, they would lose the in-
fluence that kept them in office. It was but fair
for him to state that at the meeting there were five
out of 100 who dissented from the resolution for
Parliamentary Reform, but that was not to he won-
dered at, as it would lie difficult for those who sup-
ported theyeesent Ministers to vote for it. He
ciertaioly was one who would advocate it. It was_
not fair that the charge should be made against
those whip advocated the cause of Reform, thin not
any two of them in the plan for thew ob-
ject did agree. Ile, however, could assure their
Lordships. however they might disagree us to
the specific. reform that was necessary. they
elf wished the good work had commenced,
let the plan be what it might. lie was not an
advocate for tumult, neither was he for tumultuous
assemblies, as he thought they did much to hint
the rights of the people. The Noble Earl (Albe-
marle) who had intrusted him with the Petition
had directed him to state, that he concurred in
every sentiment it expressed. The Noble Lord
then said, that what first suede him an advocate for
reform in Parliament was the outrage committed
by the 'infinity at the meeting at Manchester, and
he would not support any Administration that would
not maiuruin that subject. He would Hot contemd
that the Aancliester meeting was legal, after the
decision which had taken place elsewlitte ; but he
believed the people who assembled at it thought it
was legal, and the greatest proof that they did
think so was their conduct after the attack bad
been made on them by the soldiery when they (the
people) were unarmed. He could nut approve of
the emitted of his Majesty's advisers, as it it.
