The Select vainniittee appointed to inquire into the elle-
gations of the several petitions, which have been pre-
sented to the house in the last and piesent Selltioll4 of
Parliament, complaining of the distressed state of the
agricoltorepf the United Kingdom, and to report their
observations thesesspon to the house.
Considered that ; ..... nut: all the important objet is refer-
red to them, noise could be more deserving of their earliest
atleautosi aims am inquiry into any measures that could be
suggested for affording some tempormy relief to the dis
tressee of which the simeerons petitiimer* with so much
reasooti complain, and which appear, (runt the returns of

Such an excess of sopply beyond demand ran bare no
other effect than to coidi e the depression of price, and

it is evident, from the present very low rate of 'mice on

espedient of eel-eying the mat ket by repotting any por-
tion of our owe. core, even wall the sill tit any bounty

Two other modes have thesefore been under the consi-
derations of your committee ; by the first of w hick it was
prupoeed, that one million of Exchequer Rills should be
applied to purchasing, through the agency of (-tavern-
meet, and laying imp in stole, a certain portion of wheat
grown in the United Kingituns ; and by the second, that
facility and earunragentent shuouLl be udered to individu-
als to deposit a part of their mut k in Vial ellollirt, w that

For effecting this object, two diffetent modes have been
esiggrattd ; by one of which it was proposed, that when
the weekly average price is smiler ohs. (the impost scale

to a smoothly allowance of sixpence per toaster, until the
average price should reach his.

the time for which the allowance should be payable out
