By Lord KING, from Hat rogate—a place in Cardigan—
Dover-street, Leicester—and Mowbray_ The Noble Lord
said that lie had also a petition to present from a Clergy-
man, in the diocese of Chester. He had shown the peti-
tion to the diocesan of that place, and informed him
that as he knew nothing of the ease, he had no wish
to present the petition. Its prayer was properly worded,
and it contained nothing but what might fairly come
under the cognizance of their Lordships. The petition
chiefly related to the powers given to the diocesan,
which the petitioner thought contrary to the passage in
Holy Scripture—a particular chapter in Ezekiel. He
complained that the curates were not sufficiently provided
for by their Father in God, as he called the diocesan,
who, he stated, was bound to provide for all his children
in the diocese.

The Bishop of CHESTER did not rise to trouble
their Lordships with any observations on the subject of
the petition, but to return thanks to the Noble Lord for
the kind manner in which he had presented it. He un-
derstood that the Noble Lord had kept back the petition
while he (the Bishop of Chester) was out of town.
Several other petitions were presented, after which the
House adjourned.
