CONDUCT OF SHERIFF'S.
Lord BEI.ORAVE ruse to present a Petition from
three hundred Frschoblers of the County of Ches-
ter, complaioing of the conduct of the High
Sheriff at a late meeting of that county. He was
aware that Isis Hon. Friend Iselin's' loin had given
no•ice of a moiler' on the subject of the conduct of
Sheriff, but as lie should hot be present when that
motion came on, lie begged now to offer a few ob.

tion of great iinportalice—nomiltstanding it. effect
upon the rights and liberties of the people, which
it so seriously invaded, had it not bee's for his
local connexions, he should not have thought it
his duty to emote furwas.d Oil this occasion. The
High Sheriff' of the County of Chester hod been
rt toesied to call a suretits4 of the Nubility, Clergy,
Fretholdeps, and other Itiliabitants of the comity,
for the purpose of considering of a loyal Address,
but sti his notice for conveiiii:g die meeting he
thought proper to limit it to the freeholders, to the
exclusion of the other inhabitants. This was •
monstrous principle of exclusion. The number of
irshabitatsta of that comity was 400,000, while
the whole number of the freeholders did not
exceed two . thourand....(lieor, hear, hear )
mad was it not mousitous that so large a prepostion
of the population of is county should be excluded
from the expression of their loyalty ? During the
proceedings, while the Resolutioise were proposed,
the most perfect order prevailed ; lint a solute' of
disapprobation was heard, except a slight expression
whets the Press was inentionsd. A near relation of
his thought it his Ipitioden duty to attend the
meeting, and ihe moment of his rising with the
signal for confusion. An lino. Member for the
equisty was present, who could confirm him in his
statement, and who knew that such a scene of
confusion ensued as no eye had seen, no tongue
could describe, and hardly could the iningivalion
of mats conceive. The meeting MIS composed not
of persons of the lowest rank, but of ',creel's of edu-
cation, of rank, and of station in the county, from
whom very different conduct might have been ex-
pected. He lamented that persons of suds a character

to see her io posses.ion oldie benefit. of her scquittad.
Her Majesty had skews, out every *entwine corm se
an 4 routinized of slangier, which always pleased the
peal4e; •• But were they' therefore to be stigmatise*
as seditious and disaffected ? Nothing was more
impelitic, nothing snore nothing more
dangerous than this doctrine of disaffection. Either
the people were rebel,. or they were not. If they
were rebels, Will it not better to strike the blow bee
fore they were told of it ? And if they were oot,
what could be more unjust, a hat more insulting,
than to charge them undeservedly ? The Amend-
ment was read, and eccrived by the meetieg
great applanioe but the Sheriff refused to put it to
the meeting, becatee he thought it irrelevant to the
object for which tiny had been called together.— •
He was thee asked to put to the meeting, the
crieetion of its irrelevancy; but his answer was,
that lie would take upon himself to decide that
it was irrelevant, and it should not be put.-
-The ungi,ial Address was then put. the meeting
underoanding it to be the amendment, and hold-
ing tip then hands accordingly; and the Sheriff
declared the Address to be subsisted as the sense
of the meeting. Ile was nut sufficiently acquainted -
with the Sheriff to say what were his poltdcal opi-
Mints; and the only circumstance from which he
could guess at their nature was, that lie was
a captain in a corps of yeomanry, newly raised
by a gentleman alto was said to have some ex-
pectations of being shortly raised to the Peerage.
11'heri-ver discretion commenced, law, liberty, and
safety were at au end. Though the power of the
Sheriff appeared to be ilidrfinite, it was not uncle.
linable. He could have no power to iiifiinge ou
the rights of his fellow-subjectr. one of which, per-
haps the ninst importarit, was the right of petition-
ing. The Bill of Rights secured to the subject the
right of petitioning the throne. Great power had
been given to the Sheriffs by the passing of the late
Bills to regulate meetings. Still he denied the
right of the Sheriff to preside, as he was called to
the chair from courtesy, and not is matter of
right. He wait to sit in Isis ministerial capacity.
not to pronounce dogmatical opinions of his owe,
but to gather the general seine of others.—
If these new assumptions were to be allow, d, they
would have to send the addresses and otter pro-
ceedings to the Sheriff over night to secure his
sanction. He trusted the House would not suffer
this case to pats uncorrected. A corrupt Government
(he did not meow to call the present by that name)
would seek to extend its power in proportion to it.
delinquency. Having the nppointinetit of Sheri&
in some measure at its control, it would be likely
to fill up the places with its own adherents. The
consequence might be a collusion between those
Sheriffs arid the reigning Ministers, which would
shut out the people from any opportunity of corn-
pl 'int, and winch would thus be of by the
very meta whose conduct had attracted pubic cen-
sure.
Mr. EGERTON admitted that lie could not get
near enough at the meeting to the Sheriff's chair.
He had heard little of the proceedirigs, except from
subsequent report ; but from that lie learned that
the inerting was any thing but as quiet arid cou-
stitutiutral as a man could have wished. if the She-
riff bud acted improperly, lie thought an appeal to
the laws which had been transgressed preferable to
any measure which could be adopted by the
Howie. He vouched for the intlepelidence of the.
Sheriff; who had not been swayed in what he did
by city party, and had exerted himself as much as ins-
sible to keep the assembly in order, but in ram.
Mr. BRIGHT said, that of all the rights which
yet remained to us of those for a hich our ince.-
tors had sited their blood, the most dititiligunlied
and valuable was the right of petitioning. A. long
as he was able be would lift up his voice against
any iiifringement of that right. Had lie been in
Pridiament when the six Bills were passed, he
would have resisted their enactment and denied
their necessity. But though those Bills gave great
power to the Sheriffs, that sower was definite. Thi)
Sheriff could have no power to question the object
of the meeting at all. But supposing hint to have
such a right, his simple duty on calliog the meeting
was to take the sense of it in the most impartial
way. Was it bearable, that having fraudulently
taken the chair, lie rhould be allowed to make use •
of that authority to prevent the petitioners loos
expressing their real sentiments? And fair a re•
medy to this evil they were to be referred to the
'l'o what laws ? IVere they to wait till the
Judges came circuit ? if they did, there was no
law to punish the Sheriff. The remedy lay with
the !louse. The Sheriff had defrauded the petition-
ers alone of their rights. Was that not a subject for
the House to take notice of ? %Vas not that a
breach of privilege which ought to be visited ?
Ought not that Sheriff to be called to the bar of
the House? If any right were worth prrserviog
among those bequeathed to us through the blood
of our ancestors, it was the right of petitioning.—
He spoke net on the mere impolite of the momret.
but the firm conviction of his mind, made up from
every view of our history and Constitution ;thief)
he had ever taken.
Mr. B. 11'11.11It AHAM.—There was no stronger ad. ,
voeitte Orr the right of petitioning than himselt.

fraction of that right ; but this dial not appear to
