Sir GEORGE MURRAY could also hear testimony to
the superior condition of Scotland as compared with
England ; for example, the very large county which he re-
presented; Perthshire, did not suffer so much as many dis-
tricts in England ; and be had very lately a letter from
one of the largest proprietors in Perthshire, saying that he
had no reason to complain of the payment of his rents ;
they were not now in arrear.

think it worth rising from the Treasury Bench to state
that one proprietor in Perthshire had received his rents.
The petition was brought up and ordered to be printed.

not help asking permission to wait for a few minutes.
