—Laid on the table.
Mr. HUME moved for a Return of the Salaries

quer, King's Bench, and Common Pleas in 1792,

gether with a similar return for 1829. Also a Re-
turn of the Sums paid to the Lord High Commis-

Mr. BENETT presented a petition from a Society
meeting at the King's Head in the Poultry, praying
for poor laws in Ireland. . .

Mr. O'CONNELL presented thirteen petitions
from Ireland against the Vestry Act. The Hon.
and Learned Gentleman said that Government had
admitted the evil of the Bill, but had refused to
amend it.

Sir R. PEEL said that the statement of the
lion. and Learned Gentleman was not correct. Go-
vernment did not refuse to amend the Bill ; all they
refused was, to give any pledge till they had had
time to consider.

Mr. O'CONNELL—Perhaps Government only
declined it; but it was exceedingly like a refusill.

Sir R. PEEL—I assert that Goreintnent neither
refuied nor declined; on ale contrary, I pointed
out an amendment myself, but claimed time before
the Government pledged itself to any measure.
Mr. O'CONNELL, in presenting two other pe-
titions to the same effect, said that, at all events,
Government had postponed it without limit, and
that was very like declining, or he did not under-
stand English.
Mr. O'CONNELL presented a petition from
Athlone, from the brogue-makers, complaining that
they were not admitted to the freedom of that
town; also a petition from Oldham, for universal
suffrage, &c.; also a petition from Thomas Webb,
praying for an Act to authorise new trials for those
persons who had been wrongly advised by their at-
torneys.

Mr. HUSKISSON presented a petition, respect•
ing the Scotch Removal Bill, froth Liverpool ; also
a petition from the merchants of the same place
praying for the lowering of the Ever duties; also a
petition from the corn dealers of the same place,
complaining of the variation of the different measures
by which corn was meted.
Mr. HUSKISSON moved for an account of the
number of promissory notes issued during the past
year by the Bank of England. Ile had given notice
before the recess of a motion respecting general
banking system of the country; but owing to the
absence of' his Right Hon. Friend (Sir R. Peel) he
was obliged to postpone it. Unless Government
could assure him that between this and the next
Session nothing would be done in the shape of gua-
rantee to the Bank of England, he should still feel
it his duty to bring it 1-60 ; though he was afraid
that he should experiengardome difficulty in finding
a .day.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER
certainly had no intention, during the present Session,
to propose the prolongation of the Bank Charter.
Mr. HUSKISSON said as this was no answer
with respect to what might take place during the
vacation, he must bring forward his motion ; and he
hoped his Right Hon. Friend would afford him a day
on which to introduce it.

The return was then ordered.
Mr. CURTEIS presented three petitions from
parishes in Sussex, against the duty on hops.

dians of the poor of Norwich, against the Poor
