PUBLIC BUSINESS.

The SPEAKER said that he was now abaut to proceed
with the public list. If he rightly understood the feel-
ings of the House on Friday, no public petitions were to
be presented, except those which had reference to the
Irish Coercive B;11.

Mr. ROBINSON wi,hed, before the question was
put, to ask whether that was the understanding or not of
the House.

The SPEAKER did not know whether the Hon. Mem-
ber was in the House at the time the understanding took
place ; but he could assure him he (the Speaker) was.
The 1-1,,n. Member for Dublin, who had a large number of pe-
titions to present, had stopped short in the presentation
of his petitions upon the understanding that similar pe-
titions only were to he presented this day. He hid no
doubt that such was the opinion of the House on Friday,
but whether it remained of the same opinion to-day was
another question.
Mr. ROBINSON would then refer to the general sense
of the House if they were to proceed with Irish petitions
to-day to the exclusion of all other petitions when it
would stop, as he felt sure the presentation of Irish peti-
tions would exclude all others for some time to come.

The SPEAKER observed that when it should stop,
would depend upon the decision of the House. alit if
that understanding was now to be departed from, many
Hon. Members who had petitions to present of a different
nature, and who were absent on the understanding that
petitions against the Irish Coercive Bill only were to be
presented, would be unfairly dealt with, and have great
reason to complain.

Mr. ROBINSON would bow to the suggestions of the
Chair.

Mr. COBBETT said he had had the honour of having
committed to his care thirty petitions upon the sub.
ject of the Bill before the House, and had not the peti-
tioners, who hail sent him other petitions, understood that
their petitions were to pass through the Post-office, post-
free, he should have had ten or fifteen more petitions,
each signed on an average by about 5,000 names. The
rolls were laree, and he bad been compelled to return them
to the Post-office, unless he had chosen to incur an ex-
pense of about 151. in postage during the last week. He
would occupy as little of their time as possible, and he would
speak, once for all, upon the whole of the petitions, it
being always his desire to trespass as little as possible on
the time of the House. He could have occupied th-ir
time with petitions, but he had Inver presented one until
now, and therefore he hoped he might he permitted to
state generally the contents of his petitions, when he would
hand them to the Cieik to be read at length, or disposed
of as the House should please to order. The first was
from Guildford and Goldalming in Surrey, praying partly
of s relief frc,m taxation, but chiefly that the House would
refuse to give its assent to a Bill to place Ireland
tinder martial law. The next was from Huddersfield to
the same effect; it contained 9,300 signatures, and
measured 130 feet long—(Laughter)--which was twice
the length of the House, but only a yard in width. The
whole of the petitions which he had to present, if spread
on the floor of that House, would cover the whole of it.
The next petition was from Pedley(we believe), in Lanca-
shire; one from Hyde in Cheshire, and one f om Keightley in
Yorkshire, the latter praying the House to pause before it
adopted a measure of coercion with regard to Ireland, and to
do away with the tithes and the Irish hierarchy, which the
petitioners stated to he the only means of restoring peace
and tranquillity in that country. The next was from
Deptford and Greenwich, signed by 6 or 7,000 persons,
praying the House not to pass a law which was to cause the
King's sul jects to be tried before officers in the army who
were wholly dependent for their bread on the pleasure of the
King's setvants. The next was from Congleton in
Cheshire, the petitioners of which felt convinced that
this measure was intended to be only the first step in that
career of tyranny, which would finally end in the total
slavery of the people, or in a convulsion- which would
overthrow the Government. The next was from a town.
ship in Yorkshire, declaring the measure to be unneces-
sary and unconstitutional, as was declared on a former
occasion by the First Lord of the Admiralty. Petitions
also to the same effect from Stratford-upon-Avon, from
Gredingtun, in Gloucestershire, and from the parish of
Easterby, in Kent, signed by all the freeholders in that
parish except one. The petitioners perceived that
the present measure was only a stepping-stone to
the introduction of a similar one into England,
that it was intended to continue the grinding system of
taxation by means of military law—they relied upon the
House, as he (Mr. Cobbett) relied that they would not
pass it. The next was from a parish in the county of
Mayo, asserting, as all petitions from that county had
done, that the statements which had been
made of its disturbed condition were entirely
void of foundation. He presented petitions also from
Castle Sullen, in King's County, from the body of shoe-
makers in the town of Galway, from the inhabitants of
Cronpiece, and from Millingham (we believe) in Ireland.
The latter prayed the House to take their grievances into
consideration, and to refuse their assent to a Bill which was
to put the lives and liberties of his Majesty's subjects
at the mercy of military officers. The next was a peti-
tion from the parish of Westport, in the county of Mayo,
having the same object in view, and predicting, as he (Mr.
C.) did, that the Bill would not pass, at all events
without very considerable alterations. The next peti-
tions upon the same subject, were from the town of Galway,
from Clackmanshaw, in the county of Wexford, from
Ballynaslaney, and from the Members of the Westminster
Society for the Diffusion of really Useful Knowledge. The
latter was not from the Society of sham Useful Know-
' ledge, but from one which shooed the people the
manner in which they were fleeced, and how the
money was taken from their pockets—(Hear, hear)—
while those who received the taxes escaped taxation alto-
gether. They besought the House not to pass the Bill
in any form or shape whatever, but particularly depre-
cated the establishment of military tribunals, which, if
once introduced into Ireland, they foresaw would soon be
introduced into England.—(Cries of " Hear, hear.")
The next petition was from Warrington, very nume-
rously signed, and a very sensible petition, praying that
martial law might not be established in Ireland, and pre-
dicting that if it were, it would soon be established here.
The people all saw from one end of the country to the
other, that that would be the case, and they were re-
solved to resist it if they could. They said if it were done,
our Constitution would be a mere mockery. The Hon.
Member cordially agreed with them; nay, be thought it
would be much worse than a mere mockery—it wound be
the grossest insult to talk of the Constitution. After
reading the definition of a Constitution, given by
Blackstone, any person who had the impudence to
talk of the constitution in any sensible company,
alter the introduction of martial law into Ireland, would
he kicked out of that company—(Hear, and laughter)--
there would be no such thing as the Constitution.
The next petition was from Castlebar, in the county of
Mayo, against the substitution of courtsmartial for trial
by jury.—(Hear, hear, hear.) This was the grand

the appointment of a fete o
young
dread of poverty both operated powerfully in their minds
c
(the strongest stimulants the human mind can have), to
make them obey the commands of a cruel Government.—
(Hear, hear.) The next petition was from Ballyskene,
against what they called the bloody Bill. Whether they
.t
were correct or not in calling it the bloody Bill, it would
be for the House to decide; but that was he title they
gave to it. The next was from the parish of St.
Michael's, Dublin, to the same effect. The next was
from the borough of Southwark, in Surrey, against what
they called the red-coat Bill. The next was from
the parish of St. George the Martyr, against what
the petitioners called the red-coat martial Bill.—
(Laughter.) The next was from the inhabitants of West-
minster, to the same effect; but the Hon. Member would
not repeat the name the petitioners gave to the Bill. He
believed they were quite in order in the appellation they
