vinced that, if the petitions on this subject had been all
read, they most have had an effect on the kingdom.—
The exclusion of her Majesty's name was ass act of gross
injustice to the Qum', as it was prejsidication. He

was not represented, andathere could be,.iso peace until it
' was represented.—(Hear, hear.)

the subject. Scotland would take the lead.—( A laugh.)
Mr, BROUGHAM said, it was not to be endured that
the people should be said to be our of their senses. If
they were, it was a bad way to remedy the disease by
telling them they were mad.—(Hear, hear.)
