sideration, and windlier any additional tnformation hail been

Lions put by the noble lord, I bone no dielsulty is saying, first,
that the measure to which be has referred will be brought for-

This being the last day for reesiviag reports on private bills,
seemal were presented.
On the motion of Mr. CURWEN, Capt. Manby's petition re-
specting the life preserver, renetueistiun fur the same, &c. was
referred to .1 select coinmithe.
Col. WOOD then presented a petition from Staines against

Sco tru llatqtasENTaTioa.—Mr.A 13 EECROM BY presented
a petition (rotor the tousehottlers of Edinburgh, signdd by up-
wards of 7,000 persona, praying for a reform in the county se-
p.eventatit n, &c. of Scotland. The.ioliabitanta of Edinburgh,

Mr KENNEDY was happy that this petition had been pre-
sented. It complaitsed of a opeeilic grievance, and called for
a specific remedy. The member for Ediuburgh will, perfectly
consistent. He elinke for those *lsom he represented—the

householders, whom he did not represent—The petition would
have been tor wore numerously signed, had it not hceu ct n.
eidered, in their opinion, that it was Oiliest ueeless to petition
the House on this subject.
Mr. CALCRAFT doubted not that thogouse and the country
would be equally surprised by the description of the self-elected
thews of Ediobur,ll. '1 he member, however, had pursued a

that reform which was required by this petition—it wee Par-
liamentary reform by piece meal.
Mr. J. P. GRANT. said, to argue with the last speaker
wankel be useless. Ile wee against all reform. There were.
however, pereons in that house, who, though not reformers, ad-
mitted that where a specific grievance was pointed out that
it unlit lobe remedied, this was such a case.
Sir R. FiiIIGUSON said, that Do person had signed Obis pe-
tition who had not a house of upwards of 51. a year value ;
the name, residence, and value of the house cbaracterioed each
eignature.
Mr. iIUMB said, that four-fifths of the householders had
signed this petition.
Mr. 11. DRUMMOND said, that this petition by no means
spoke the language of the householders oh Edinburgh. Recut-
lectine what recalls lila been adopted, he was only surprised
that the petition hail uut 40,00 signatures.
Mr. A BERCIIOSI ISY.iu inov nig that the petition he printed,
observed on the estreurities to which those bad been driven

were beaten ten to one—more householders would have come

Mr. KENNEDY explained. The non-electors wee* rated
at 387.0:10—die elecior* were rated at 2,700.
Lord A. liA:111LTON having been applied to to postpone
his motion, said be should., to-morrow move resolutions res-
pecting county representation in *outland. He could nut COY-
rent to further pe.tpooeuteol.
Petition ordered to be printed.
IRISH TRIALS.—INQUIRY. —Atte& various tuber petitions
had been presented, the House. resolved into a committee to
resume the enquiry.
The clerk a the Crown was re-called, and •again awoined.
in explanatioo of previous answers ; but he was very indistinctly
heard in the gallery.
Terence O'Reilly, of Dublin, attorney. was alit called and

ezamined.
Mr. Tomlinson, and several other wit were examined.
A witness named Pool was called, hot did not attend ; it wee
stated, that be had met with :set accident.in entering Loudon, by
by a fall front the stage coach.
Col. BARRY said, lie understood that Pool was. seen walk-
ing about the streets of London yesterday.
Upon ibis alinement the messenger was ordered to go forth,
with to Pool's lodging, and order his immediate attendance.
Sheriff Cooper was Om called Luella essesioci.--Tese Sheriff
described the grand jury as having hero struck is the usual
way, and as respectable as usual. There were not a greeter
number of the corporation on . it than usual, sod. an hour
was taken op in investigating the characters of the individual*
composing it. Witness objected to several names, but nok oe
political motives.
Examined by Mr. Plunkett.—Recollects that an order was
issued by the Lord Mayor in November lest to prevent the
dressing of the statue, and that the corrogation passed a vote
of censure on the Lord Mayor for so doing. The election of
cotporaters took place soon after party kitbags ran high, parti-
cularly in the guild of merchants, who elect thirty-three nor-
, potatoes. During the election a list of names wu banded
about by the guild of merchants, at the top of which was the
motto—" Good men in bad times." At the top was the repre-
sentation of King William treading 'ITEM the King of Clults.--•
Witness believed the Knave of Clubs meant the Lord Mayor.
Eight of those" good men in had tintea" were elected corpora-
tor*, and seven of those were on the grand jury.
The exaniinution went to a considerable length ; after which
the Chairman reported pingress, and obtained lease to sit
again to-morrow.
The other orders were then disposed of, and the House
adjourned.
