Report upon the Weavers.- Petition into furo:er coniith•retion.

persons in Manchester (which contained 29 parishe.; ) who had
received pa; ish relief, for the quarter ending April last.

tioners conic before the House next Sessions, he should then feel
it to be hid duty to inquire into the causes that led to their dis-
tresses.

Mr. WILB RF 0 tcE, in referring to the Orders in Council, did
not think that as yet the advanta bues ar;si!4; from thin were so
great, or the dangers to be apprehended from t continuance
so alarming, as to mak...! pers :us as yet quite positive as to the it
ultimate re3ult either way. He cotife-,sed, however, that evtn
front what they had already done, if he was not very sanguine, he
indulged strong hopes; they had revivm.l our trade, and almost
annihilated that of the enemy. lie spoke highly of the merits of
the Petitione7s.

Mr. W. Shull' gave his testimony also to the temper and pa-
tience of the Petitioners. He hoped that their goA s psi, would
see the impossibility of that House interfering to compel the
Maters not to lower their price,; th:lt they would wait with
p:alvtice tiil the circumstances of country would effect their

Tilt motion then passed in the affirmative.
