that the High Bailiff should have quitted the hustings, be-
fore he had heard what an humble individual had to say
on the present important occasion. He was as much a friend
to the rights of the electors, as either of the Hon. Baronets
who had addressed them, but he could not stand still and
li,ar himself classed among those whom the Right Hon.
Baronet had designated as their enemies, without repelling
the accusation.—(Loud hissing.)
He said that if the Hon. Baron et meant the people to
believe what he said, that the rights of the people was the
only source from which sprung that farce that had just
been acted, he ought to support universal suffrage.—
(Groans.) The Hon. Baronets only supported the pre-
sent measure to keep themselves and their friends in place
and power. If Parliamentary Reform was to give cheap
bread and increase the price of wages, flair should have
told them that ; but they well knew it would have no
such effect, and therefore they had slunk away without
giving him an opportunity of probing them upon
their opinion of the corn laws. Would they sup-
port their repeal? He did not mean to say these
things ought to be done, but unless these honourable
persons meant to support the abolition of them and the
confiscation of the Church property, he would say, their
only motive was to keep in that curse of the coun try a
Whig Government. That Government had excited
the people, and only a few days since seven men
had forfeited their lives upon the scaffold in consequence
of the excitement they had so produced. The trade of
the country was also at a stand still. Some said that that
was the fault of those real friends of their country the
Opposition, but he was better informed on the subject,
arid charged it upon the base tricks employed by the Go-
vernment. That Opposition had only opposed Reform
because they saw danger in it, and the .people now
present ought to thank them, for the present Bill only
gave the suffrage to possessors of 101. houses. Now how
many that were present could live in a 10/. house?—(Great
hissing)—and by it a great many who now had the fran-
chise were to lose it. Would any one present support a
Minister who Lad said that the insurrections at Faris
and Brussels were justifiable, yet every one of the
present detested Government had said so. The friends of
Sir F. Burdett might clamour, but they would soon find
out their mistake, and both the Hon. Baronets and their
friends might tremble when they thought of the hate
which would be heaped upon them by a deceived and be-
guiled people.
[This speaker, whose name, we believe, is Mr. Esteourt,
of Essex-street, Strand, was throughout received with im-
mense hissing, and was at last obliged to give up on ac-
count of it.l
