PETITION FROM KEMP CAUSTON.

Mr. Alderman WooD held in his hand N peti-
tion from KerniiCa us ton, printer, one of his mnst
actlye.constitticnts, stating that the Clerks, &c.
of the GenerA Post Office stibs,tituted their own
London Directory in place of his publication, en-
litied " Kent's London Directory ;" and that
they refused etfin to cirenlate his Bills announcing
the publication, although they circulated bum-
inerable copies of Price Curt eats, Lloyd's List,

Newspapers,- Ecce— The petitioner • stated. Many
other hardships which he endured. That his com•
plain's were riot confined to the Clerks of the Ge-
neral Post Office,. but extended to the Commis-
sioners of Hawkers and Pedlars, by whom the
petitioner said be had sustained considerable in
jury in the way of his trade. He prayed the
House would take his case into consideration, or-
der an inquiry, and make a report on the same.
The Worthy Alderman assured the House, that he
had advised him not to present such a petition ;
but the petitioner persisted, and stated, that it he
(Mr. Alderman Wood) did not chose to present
it, he would apply to another Member. He
therefore found it incumbent upon him to comply
with his wishes, as • the petitioner was one of his
most zealous constituents ; and concluded by re-
qnesting leave to present the' same.
Mr. M. A. TAYLOR doubted very. much whether
a petition of such a, nature ought to be received
by the House. Its contents were incongruous,
ah%“rd, and ill founded. The petitioner accused
the Clerks, &c. of the; General Post-ofEce with-
out any just cause. It was not formed according
to lie construction of Parliamentary Petitions
awl the n 'titre of its complaints were not adapted
to the set ions consideration of the House.

Mr. LUSHINGTrYN dechrecl its irrelevancy, RS
it tvaS particularly confined to the private property
of the indivititral petitioner.

Mr. Alderman Wool) endeavoured to vindicate
the good intentions Of his worthy Constituent,
whose case, the petitioner •Hid, was that of all
the Bookseliers and Printers in Loudon: As the
petition was most respec,fuHy ar!dressed to :be
House, the 11,,n. Member strongly urged that it
should he received..

0.1 ilie piestinn being put, it was negative:l
wit iwur a division.
