Sir EDWARD KK AT .at the last
speaker had never spoken a Uu. i word than when
he said that he (sir E. Enritchbilll) wai a sanguine
man. He, for his par,' went into Parliament with-
out conceiving it proper to hilve any shackles or im-
peditnetus in the performance of his duty. If a Bill
should be brought into Pa‘li#nent next Session for
what he •Wonld ConcelVe a moderate and reasonable.
lian, that plan should hvve his assent. He hae ob-
ie?zted to the' plan of Mr. Brand for many reasons.
would not go ktO the House fettered or shackled.

Mr. R.v,pEit then asked him what sort of a -Re-

Sir WILIAAIII GEAR'Y said; that-1,-e- riFf,'reZ-d
great, part of whit. had taller tfoin: the Honourable
Baronet: - He detested any sCackles 'impoSed
on a Member of I),arhatneni, ;and though,L•that they,
ought, all to a(it.s their own -eonsciencts dictated.
It
.WaS, however, a most irnportatit matter to know
something of the princi&s of a Member. ,To
form'a judgmynt of the p,.l.•ciples of the Honour-
able2Baronee from his torture .cor.duCt,--4,e would

Was thie then a probability,of.Lis supporting the
p esent Petition, unless he should then pledge hinr-
se.f so to do ? It would be the Ateiiht of folly to
commit such a cause to a wan that they had.. every
'reason to think wai hostile..," F{ s‘,o-uld. therefore,
Wish to know whether thFflonourable Baionet in-
tended to support the motion
Sir EDWARD KNATCHBLYLL was silent; and Mr.
LARKINS part the question In, another shape :—Sup-
'pesmg' the ' C.unty instrii&ed him to. support, it,
would he support it ? ' •
S r EDWARD replied, that he lid voted against
tle lotion of Mr. Br ind 'because' it prOposed no
specific plan, and 'he should certainly-Vote 'against
any other. !notion which was -.liable to -the same
bbje:Stion. .• • 7 •-••

Mr. BRIDGES •said, that.'he only,presented
liitn-
self to the attention of the meeting for a few-mi-
nutes, because it was.wfune .when. he—thought that
every man ought to speak out clearly what, were his,
sentitneutsi and because _it....happeuea that his owl*
was not to the. requisition. Heathen professed him-
-self to be a warm advocate for Reform, and thought
Oat no time should be lost in making- everTeierlion
to obtain it. He approved wartnly of the p;An of
leaving the Petit, nn in different ptitts of.the. county
to obtain .Signatur.: ,
, • Mr: Lilsrito.ToNt said that he thought it W 35 un-
fair to infer from-any vote man might have given
with. respect
.to Lord cast fereagh, whether he was
a
or was not- friend" of &form ? H' hicuSellhad
voted against Lord Castlereagh, and ye he had
been unfriendly to every plan of Reforin wilich had

the House of Commons. Now if-this influence was
taken away, our liberty and independence must
be destroyed. He could, not support Rveform, -be-

Sir WILLIAM GEARY spoke fro otder. The quei-
tiOn of the Petition bad been already .disposed -of,
and...there w#s.ll9.ques.tion.tta—wl3cluacoustitu-
tionai speech which the Hon. centletnan seemed
.ready to deliver, could in any manner apply.
Mr.. LUSHINGT9N3 said tot hedltr:,ribt: Wish t 0
digress from the question. He shopld therefore
say, that his opinion it would be in erroneous-
course to give the Petition to one Member to pre-
sent, as if it were to pass for the Petition of the
wi ole county; the regular mode of 'presenting •it
would-be by the County Members.
Mr. HotsiEywoon, jun, came forward,- and as-
sured the Meeting thM his father-was excessively
ill, and now went,' upon crutches. His heart and
soul were, however, so much with the. Petition, 'that
he would present it, if he were obliged Co go inio,
the House on crutches for the purpose. •
The .Resolution was then carried unanimously,
that the Petitions be presented by Mr,- Honeywood ;
as were also the Resolutions.for leaving the Pell ion
at,the different towns for siguaiures, and for return-
ing thanks to the High Sheriff for his liberal and
independent Conduct.

The HIGH SHERIFF shortly returned thanks.
The HIGH SHERIFF, Sir"WILLIAM GEARY, and
some other Gentlemen, were 'then saluted with
three cheers. The same corripliment was proposed
to the name of Sir Francis Burden ; but on the re-
presentation of some of the. Gentlemen who curl-
ducted the business, that this did not properly belong
to the question before the present Meeting, it:was
not pressed.

Sir WILLIAM GEAfilr then congratulated the
Meeting on the harmony and.unanituity Which dis-
tinguished their proceedings.
The'Meeting then broke
