Mr. BENNETT rose to preseut a Petition from
certain individuals confined in the Fleet Prison,
for contempts of Court. This was the third Peti-
tion of the hind which he had presented to that
House, though he *regretted to say that no steps had
been taken in the proper quarter to relieve these
individuals, some of whom were encoonterisig the
greatest oppression. The Petitioners stated that
they hod done all that their legal advisers could re-
emsimend to purge themselves of the contempts for
which they itad beeti committed. though hitherto
without effect. They stated that there were now
an the Fleet, among others committed for con.
tempts, three iudividuals, one of whom was in cus-
tody for 3.1 years, one fur 18 years, and another for
years.—/ Hear.j—He.had done his duty in pre-
'ruling this Petit ion, and he earnestly hoped (though
from experience he could not be very sanguine) that

plied to the grievances of the Petitioners.
• Tier Petition was then read, and 'ordered to be
printed.
WRITS FOR. NEW 111E1laiRti.
Mr. IVersr4 called the attention of the House to
the neglect of the perilous who had not complied
with the orders served on them upon a late occa-
sion. I-he alluded to the order that had been made
in pwrsuance of the Act of the 53d of the King,
c. 59, calling on the Sheriff's of the different coun-
ties of Englund awl Wales to describe the places
where their offices were-held to the postmasters of
the districts. for the' purpose of their being duly
served with the write issued from the Crown-office,
for the return of Members to sit in Parfiament.—
Ile new snored that the former account be made
forthwith. He wiled at the same time that a copy
l)e produced of Pair. Hobhouse's circular letter of
the gd of \larchi to the different Sheriffs, recom-
mending so iturnediate compliance with the order
previously made. It war true, that the Act con-
tained no sperific penalty fur • tion-complisuce
with its provisions; but he begged it to he consi-
slered th:st the parties were liable to an indictment
fur no/chi:vice if they refused., and he begged it
sum to he understood. that if any further delay
',sok place in rompl)ing with the Ostler of the
llonse. he would move that his Niajesty's Attoroey-
Griirrel be directed t . prosecute the parties.
The Return was ordered to be made forthwith.

to the public service ; and also the slims of 10 per
cent. on the amount of their salaries, resigned by
certain public Officers, fur the same purpose, in
voisergaeure of the example of his Royal Highness?
Ile had tin doubt that these contributions were
made, mod properly *imbed ; but he only wished
to know where to took fur their appropriation. He
also wished to know where he could find the appli-
cation ut the premiums on the issue of Ftchequer
