prayed for a law to enable them to remove the select vestry,
which now concealed from the parishioners the nature of
their expenditure, and which has Wen made to amount to
so large a sum as greatly to distress the parish. When th►:
parishioners had come before the magis►rates to appeal
against the conduct of the vestry, they found many of the
officers of the vestry sitting on the bench with the magi._
trate., and they complaintd against the proceeding as afro-
ether unfair. The petitioners prayed that the select

Mr. CAMPBELL explalued.
Mr. O'CONNELL explained.
Mr..CUItTEIS had 'no wish whatever to *salm i. tty
jurymen from any adven to be given to Speak, jury-
men wader the 11111. It' tageo dwelt* be remembered that the
'county of Susses-wee a Inindred mites laingisid only thirty
`broad, end it was a great hardship to call upon jurytnen to
travel such a net distant*. The Bill had' een brought
in with the approbation,. and at the desire of a very con-
siderable body of the freeholders of the county. The die»
wide for selecting juries would be fifty miles long, by
thirty broad, and it was not likely that juries could be
packed. Ile had Seen an observation in Another place than
that House, that special jurymen were paid for their trouble,
,and consequently that it was not necessary to consult
their convenience so much as teat of petty jurors; buathe
payment was only oat guinea, and which was unworthy
of consideration with respect to the dititance they hid to
,travel. If the districts into whieh the Bill would. divide
the county were too small for the fair teleetioo of judo.
what must be the ease in Rutlendahire, Huntingdon, and
Hertfordshire? sad yet ran complaints of partiality in the
selection of Juries* were mote in those moral counties.
There was & spesill'eligue is Cie Bill, providing for re.
.menete.
Sir R. PEEL thought the House under great oblige-
:tiona to the lion. Member fur Mefferd. (Mr, Campbell)
'for his observations upon the 1110, which certainly formed
aprecedent for circumscribing the district' from which
Juries were selected, and therefore the 11111 trenehed upon
the principles of the Jury 'Act. Practically speaking,
'Smola was divided into two parts, the eastern and
'western, anti they were 'operated more than parts of
.counties generelly were. Upon the whole, hi theught
the local convenience of the county would he very much
'consulted by the Act, anti he, for one, should not be aih-
posid to offer it any resistance.
Lord GEORGE CAVENDISH expressed himeelf
favourable to a postponement of the measure, to facilitate
the arrangement of its details.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL did net wish to oh.
*fillet the Bill, if the gentlemen of the county, who must
be the best judges of the matter, were favourable to it
.but the question war, whether the distance (tom which
