that Corn-law repeal was no debateable question of equity d
economy, but a demonstrable wrong ; taking the earniel;,4
the labouring class from them by legislative chicane, and g, 1,1
them to the landowners. As a preacher of truth and 1.4'„Ijoo
ousness he was called on to denounce fraud and ePPres.,-ioi
wherever he perceived them ; and their magnitude, and ens
perpetrated by men in power, were only greater re',.,5 ;tit
for their being exposed and rectified. He had hese.loir

He read the statement regarding Walsall from the peu!oll to
report of the Ministerial Conference, and asked the ree't', et'

direction of her Majesty's councils, manifested duriefosi°

those men betray a consciousness that those lags re deg
debatable on the principles of equitatle economy ; but ,he
monstrable wrongs, acting to the benefit of a class at to

petition her Majesty not to proregue Parliament till ust
Houses discuss these gri at and vital questions; but, in hers
