THE NATIONAL REGISTER

gloried its having been one of those who cried " Shame,
shame !" As to the conduct of the sheriff at Chester, hail
that person refused to put a particular question, lie should
move to have that sheriff called to their bar, and lie hoped
he should be supported in such proceeding by the house.
—(Hear, hear )
Mr. J. BEN NETT also declared that the sheriff ought
to be called to their bar.
Sir J. NEWPORT said, if such conduct were to be
permitted, if would indeed be a " farce" to talk of the
people having the rizitt of petition.
Mr. S. WORTLEY thought that sheriffs ought not to
suffer their political sentiments to interfere with their
public duties. If requisitions were property prepared
and presented, the sheriffs he considered to be bound to
convene meetings.
Lord BELGRAVE said, that he was close to the she-
riff's chair at the meeting, and lie could adduce witnesses
to prove the facts he had stated.

some foreign powers.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER replied,
that he believed the lion. member had been wholly mis-
understood , he was not aware of any such order having
been issued.

One of his constituents was loading a ship of gunpowder,
and therefore was anxious to learn the truth.
On the motion that the house resolve itself into a com-
mittee of supply,
Mr. GORDON asked wkat new progress was being
made with the New Post Office?

had in view—the improvement of the City as welt as the
election of a New Post Office; the first point had been

city had been accomplished. There was a great waste
space and some palings, but nu more.
