tiff,,boing the acceptor of the• bill, lied ne property
in it; and could not, therefore,' maintain Troyer for
it. Laid Tenterden reserved the point for the opi-
nion of the Court,• and direc:ed the Jury, if they
should be of opinion that the defendants took the
bill with a knowledge that Nevett wns Lot to part
with it without the plaintiff's authority, to find for
the plaintiff. The Jury accordingly found for the
plaintiff; and Sir James Seatlett, in the following
Term, obtained the present rule to enter u nonsuit
upon the. point above-mentioned.
Mr. F. Pouoctt showed cause.

Sir J. SCARLETT supported the rule.
The Court were of opinion that the plaintiff was
entitled to recover. 'The rule must, therefore, be
discharged.
Sir J. SCARLETT said, that, since the trial, some
facts hnd transpired, inducing a belief that Nevett's
statement at the trial was not quite correct. He
was aware that he could not use them upon this oc-
casion ; but perhaps the Court would, upon this
suggestion of new facts, allow the final judgment in
the present action to be suspended until the other
should have been tried.

Lord £NTERJEN said the application came too
late. The Court could not buspend the proceed-
ings any longer.

trusted that Parliament would snake some inquiry into the
circumstances of the case. The Noble Lord entirely eon.
coned with the petitioners. The Noble Lord alio pre-
sented a petition from the inhabitants of Southwark to

PARLIAMENTARY REFORM.

- -
Lord KING presented a petition from the Lord Mayor,
Aldermen, and Common Council of the City of London,
preying fur Parliamentary Reform. Ile did so with
greater pleasure end satisfaction than he could have dune
ten days ago, when the petition was first put into his hands,
because, at that moment, there presided, of the Councils of
the country a Ministry, who bad declared by their Chief in
this House, not only that they had no plan in contem-
plation for Reform, but that he would always oppose it
as long as he was a Minister. That satisfaction was
enhanced by the declaration of his Alajesty'e Prime Mi-
nister the other evening, a 'declaration that was must
satisfactory to him, and, he had no doubt whatever,.
to the great mass of the people of this country The Slave
Bill laid down by that Noble Earl would, he had no doubt,
give satisfaction to the county, and restore the confidence
of the people in the Commons House of Parliament.—
(Hear, hear.) He had no doubt that the Noble Earl
would follow up his declaration by proposing those mea-
sures which would be the moot conducive to the effect-
ing the great object he had in view. That there were defects
in the representation of the House of Commons no one
could deny. Some of those defects were, that the great
towns of the country, which had rose into eminence during
the last century were not represented. It was also notorious
that scandalous practices took place in what were called the
close boroughs, the voters of which places were held
in thraldom, by what Mr. Grattan called the proprietors
of Parliament, who too long had influence over the inte-
rest of the country. Ile believed that no plan of Reform
would give satisfaction, unless the preponderance in the
House of Commons which these Gentlemen- had were
curtailed, This country a short time ago had one
of the most expensive Governments a short time ago which
it ever knew. lie had, however, now great pleasure in
saying that it had a cheap one --(Laughter.) The peti-
tioners expressed an anxious wish to have a House of Par-
liament that had the power of controuling the taxation of
the country, which Parliaments latterly had nut.—(Laugh-
ter and cheers.) The petition was then read at length.
REGENCY BILL.

Lord LYNDHURST, on the understanding that no
Opposition was ma,', to the principle of this. Bill, gave no-
tice of his intention of moving the second reading to-mor-
row, and that the Lords be summoned.'
Earl OBEY observed, that he entirely concurred with
the principles of thel3i 1, which had been so clearly and
so admirably explained by the Noble Lord on the other
side of the House.—(Hear4 He approved of the Bill
entirely, and of the principle on whidt it was founded.
The principles of the Noble Lord were strictly in accord-
ance with his own views : and had it be n his dutY to
have brought forward such a Bill, he should have trod • in
his footsteps.—( Hear.)
Ott the motion of the Earl of SHAFTESBURY, Lord
Tenterden's Common LW Improveintnt Bills mete read
a third time, and passed.
'I he House then adjourned.
