,
TO THE HONOURABLE THE cpmmotzs OF THE
UNITED KINGDOM OF GREAT BRITAIN AND IRE-
LAND, IN PARLIAMENT ASSEMBLED.
" The Petition of the Freeholders of Middlesex, agreed
to in full CoUiity, this 26th day of April, 18 to.
Sheweth,

" That we haVe. observed with concern , that iii
the cases of Mr. John Gale Jones and .Sir FranciS
Burdett, Bart. your House asiumed and eierei4ed,a
power unknown to the Law; ,and unwarranted by
the Constitution.

" Your Speaker's Warrant has been:executed by
military force. An Englishman's house, his sane-
tuary, has been violated, and the bloiod of unoffend-
ing citizens has been shed in the streets.
" Against the existence, as well as the exercise of
this power, we solemnly pitstesta protest the more
necessary, because your votes, in its support; ,are
entered on your Journals—not so the Letter of Sir,
Francis Burdett to your Speaker, denying you such
jurisdi6tion.
" In the early part of this reign, in the case of.
Wiikes, the Rights of this County, and the Nation,
were repeatedly and grossly violated by the House
of Comnaons.- . At length the law triumphed ; after
a. struggle of nearly 20 years the Hotise abandoned
the pretensions they had arrogated, and' expunged
from their Journals; - all their declarations, orders,-
and resolution, as being subversive of the rights of
the whole body of Ele&ors of this Kingdom.'•
" You have during your pleasure deprived the
Citizens of Westminster of their share in the Re
presentation, and the public at large of the exertions
of a faithful servant, in whose ability, firmness; and
integrity they pre-eminently confide.
" We- view with jealousy and suspicion the shut-
ting 'op, Sir Francis Burdett in prison, when the
attention of the nation .is direa,d with anxiety to
his intended motion fora ftliirm in the Repre-
sentation of the People in your Honourable-House;
that House in ..which the traffic in seats has been
avowed, in the case of Mr. Ftrceval and Lord Cas-
tleieth, to be as notorious as the sun at noon
day,' a pradice, at the mention of which,' in the
emphatic language of your Speaker, our- ances-
tors would have startled with indigna!ion.' ,
" We therefe•e pray you to follow the example Of,
your predecessors, to expunge all your declarations,
orders, and resolution, on the subject, as tending to,
the subversion of Our liberties,' 'and the introduction
of .a military despotism. And to recall Sir Francis
Burdett to the service of the Country in Parliament,
'that he may there enforce that plan of Reform which
last Sssion he so powerfully recommended, and
which, in our opinion, is absolutely necessary for the
stability and honour of the Throne, and the safety
and well-being of the People.
"Signed in the name, and on the. behalf of this
Meeting, by"

Yesterday at pne o'clock, Mr. Sheriff WooD,,ac-
companied by Mr. BYNG,•OIIe of the, Metnbers for

On Tuesday, as a man belonging to Justice Hall;
in the Old Bailey, was passing through the Temple,
he Observed a woman whom he knew to be a bad
character, witha child about three or four years of
age. She appeared to be enticing the
.child away-
with her, which induced .hiM to: watch her. He .
heard her, promise the -child.a drum and a fiddle
she took it into a pastry-cook's shop in 'the 'Strand,
and gaVe it a tart. He followed her till she went
into Johnson's alarnoile-beef shop, in Clare-court,
and then went and gave information at the Public,
Office, Bow-street. Mr. Nares, the Sitting Magi-
strate, sent Rivett, the Officer, who brought the
woman and child before the - Magistrate. The
child was too young to give an at:CO-tint of itself.
From-the- tale of the woman, and inquiries made by
the Officers, it was ascertained that the child- was
at nurse with a woman who is a laundress in. the
Temple, and who, while s,he was. attending to her
chambers, bad intrusted the child to a• woman,
who had left it in the care of the prisoner. The
laundress who had the child-under her care, was in
very great distress when she-was traced. out. The
prisoner was discharged.
