to lie on t PC'gs, prayed,- in the present artificial system of

elf-past Si w'.ges. The Hon. Member concluded by recom-
'needing the petition strongly to the House.

five minus had done him the favour of attending to his observe-

Dill Covetl the Hon. Gent. • The course the House would have
to pursue next Session would be gradually to follow

the coon t kne Hon. Member found it convenient upon diffe-

Church that the agriculturists had so much money that they

sioitime sf keep it; but to-night he found it convenient to.say
10i,t),410 that the distress of the agriculturists was so great
