Bann reservoir, which was laid on the table,
THE LORDS' AMENDMENTS.
Mr. BAINES presented a petition, signed by thifkau
.thousand inhabitants of the borough of Leeds, on tlo ituba,

instead of being what

re'".!". the destruct p.nd offensive amendments, and to,pas
the measure iv:, tl):, form in which it was first introdu-eed-....s
'a prayer which: contained the sentiments of nine-ventha of
his (Mr, B-4',,,,5,
s) constituents, and was fully ("oncurred in
by hintsilf. The 'Hon: Member then presented another pe-
tition 'i-rom the Municipal Corporation •of
-Leeds,,praying
for the removal of the disabilities under which the met-},erg
of the Jewish persuasion laboured, a prayer in which
also warmly concurred.
Mr. TOOKE_proc:ented a petition, signed by the mayor,
magistrates,f an,_,' aOO of the respectable inhabitants of the
town o ",,,ravesend, expressing their satisfaction at the mea-
sure of corporation Reform prepared for Ireland, con-
demning the unjust amendments of the Lords, and praying
the House to persevere and to reject them, and thereby coni-
fer an equal portion of Municipal Reform on Ireland as had
been already productive of so many advantages to England
and Scotland.
Lord CASTLEREA4I presented a petition trona the
town of Newry calling upon the House to adopt the Lords'
amendments.
Mr. E. TENNENT tc4:lLpajlien.ol4, the—same -
-suloject frevertive-to ' eas the petitioners stated
that the continuance of Corporations was uncalled for and
1 unnecessary ; that they entailed a great expense in uphold-
a• their jurisdiction, and were only calculated to promote
'Ub' interests of incendiaries and demagogues Ironic
cheers)—and they also prayed that ample measures might
be taken to repress any attempt, at a repeal of the Un;,on.
—(Cries of oh, oh !) Such was the respectable character
of the parties who signed the petition, that he set no value
on numbers. The Hon. Member for Dundalk had taresen-
ted a petition on a previous evening signed by 9,000, of the
inhabitants ; but, though this was not so numerously signed,
it was entitled to as mueh attention from the 'House.—
(
Cries of oh !) The Hon. and Learned Member for Tip-
perary had said—
The SPEAKER informed the Hon. MernlYar that he
had departed fr.-..,ci the rules laid down for the presentation
of petitill ons, and as lie was disposed to go into, the subject
gene ray, 'lie should wait for the debate on i',;.
Mr. E. TENNENT said his object we', to explain that
in Ireland this was considered a question as to numbers,
and be wanted to show that though fir: petition he had the
honour to present was not so nunrerously signed, that it
was not the less deserving the cor.sideration of the House.
As for himself he intended to. 'cast no slur on the indivi-
duals who bad signed the 04:her petition from the same
place, to which he had adva•rted. The Hon. Member pre-
sented another petition irom the rising town of Ballyinena,
on the smile subject.
in the county of Ant•ri-,„,
PUNISHMENT ICIF DEATH, JEWISH DISABI-
LITIES, &c.
Mr. THO.a As ATTWOOD presented a petition
from Birmi4-gain, most numerously and respectably signed,
praying fry the abolition of the punishment of death, un-
less in caves of wilful murder. The Hon. Member rea d.
some, returns, from which it appeared that from 1829 to
1PAP...., fifty executions took place in the City of Loudon,
ar,d from 1832 to 1835, only one ; from which it appeared
that the amelioration of the criminal code, instead of
being productive of, tended to the diminution of crime.
It was the same in Belgium, and would be always found
to produce the like results in every country in which it
was tried. The Hon. Member then presented a petition,
signed by upwards of three hundred respectable individuals
of the Jewish persuasion of Birmingham, praying that as
only a small part of his Majesty's subjects now laboured
under disabilities, that the remnant might be removed, and
all be placed on the same footing in the State. The Ham.
Member presented another petition, signed by 700 Chiisti-
ans, who condemned it as an existing wrong that vnch a
respectable class of his Majesty's subjects should has,,, such
a mark affixed to them, and praying that all civil disabilities
under' which the Jews laboured might he reeaoved. The
Hon. Member next presented a petition from 100 merchants
of the same place for the reduction of the 'duty on East
India sugar ; also petitions, signed by 300 of the inha-
bitants; of St. John's, Norwich ; from the Birmingham
Society ; from the machine-makers of Dundee and another
place, praying the House to pass a law for the reduction of
all taxes on knowledge, and for Pao release of all pri-
soners confined for offences under the Stamp Act. The Hon.
Member fully concurred in the prayer of all the petitions.
Mr. EMERSON TENNENT presented a petition
from a place in the county o? Antrim on the subject of the Landlord and Tenant Bill, in the prayer of which he did
not concur. The Hon. Member than went into the details
of a charge brought against a gentleman named MiLean,
in the county of Louth, for burning a rick of turf belong,.
ing to his tenant, for having voted for a candidate whom the landlord supported at a general election. The Ron.
Member stated, that so far from Mr. M'Lean having re-
quired the tenant to vote for the candidate whom he sup- -
ported, he stated to him, when he called to have lais opi-
nion for whom he should vote, he distinctly stated, that he
would not influence his will in any way.
-Mr. HUTT appealed to the Speaker whether such a la-
titude should be given to any Hon. Member, or presenting
a petition ?
The SPEAKER was decidedly of opinion4:hat the Hon,.
Member for Belfast was exceeding the limits.
Mr. TENNENT bowed with submissicn to the opinion
of the Chair, and the petition was laid or• the table.
Mr. C. LUSHINGTON presented a petition from the
three denominations of Dissenters, txaying for the total
abolition of church-rates.
Mr. BAINES supported the. *prayer of the petition.
Sir S. WHALLEY present,etl a petition from the in-
habitants of Camden-town, praying that the British Museum
might be kept open during t.ne holidays.

peal of the Stamp Dutica on Newspapers, and also one from
Spitalfields against the, Ten Hours' Factory Bill.
Mr. LENNARD presented a petition from the Mayor
and Magistrates of a town in the county of Somerset, pray-
ing for a similar measure of Corporate Reform to Ireland
to that given to England and Scotland ; also a petition
from the guardians of the poor, complaining that small te-
nements
were greatly enhanced in value on the poor by-
small landlords, from representing that they were free frona rates, and praying that all houses of the value of 6!. and
under, be made liable liable to poor-rates.
Mr. BUTT presented a petition from the Mayor of
Hull, on the part of many thousands of the inhabitants,
against the Lords' amendments to the Irish Municipal Bill,
and prayin.,. that
~ they might be rejected by that
.House ;
