The Noble Earl, when presenting a similar petition from the

prat:do obvious that so one could doubt its exh:tenee. It was in.,
by the general stagnation of trade, by the diminution of rent
to the landlord and of pat to the tenant, and by the want of em-
ployment for the labourrinegames. This was a state of things
which could not be too neatly impressed on his klajesty s
Ministers. Taxation p heavily upon all classes of his Ma.

intention now to trespass on their Lsbips with his observe.
dons. as the subject would be brow forward on Thursday next

presses most severely on the poorer classes, and tbe most rigid eco-
nomy in the Government expenditute.
