Mr. M‘K INNON presented a petition -frensflairyiebeato.
praying that that House would not in any way interfere with
the privileges and independence of the Lords. It was
siomed by 1,000 persons, and spoke the feelings and
wishes of the great majority of the wealth and respecta-
bility of the borough. The petitioners lamented to
see notices put on the books of the House, the only tendency
of which was to degrade the Peers in the eyes of the people.
The individuals by whom those notices were entered had no
intention whatever of carrying their measures forward. What
was it, therefore, that was intended to be done by those no-
tices ? Why, to degrade one branch of the Legislature, by
holding out that that House had the power of re-organising
the House of Lords. For his own part be believed that each
branch of the Legislature was equal in their rights, and he was
not aware of any occasion in which the House of Lords had
interfered with the privileges of that House, and be did not
see, therefore, why that House should interfere with the pri-
vileges of the House of Lords.—(l fear, hear, hear.)
He trusted that the object the petitioners had in view would
he realized, and that no degrading notice, such as he had re-
ferred to, would again be placed on the books of the House of
commons.
Mr. WYNN deprecated notices of the kind alluded to in
the petition being given, if not intended to be complied with.
The SPEAKER thought, after the concurrence of the
House, that notice should be given of any motions Hon. Mem-
bers intended to make.
After a short conversation between Mr. Roebuck, Mr.
Mackinnon, and the Speaker,—
Sir J. WROTTESLEY said that it should be recollected

three years ago.—( Hear, hear.)
The petition was then laid on the table.
