ino;ilig for any pi.t.rs or :Joy information he raigll
desire. lie (the Marquis of N.) had appointed
a Commission ; and tne Commisiiioners not baring,
carried , into effect the reforms which he considered
desrable, he repeatedly remonstrated with thew'
upon this delay in making their report. From these
remonstrances, the Noble Earl might see that he had
been desirous of securing to the public the proper carryin.
out of the Bill ; and he was sure that the present
Government would be equally desirous to do so. The I)uke of WELLINGTON thought that his Noble
Friend ought not to present a petition containing iniltnl;
tations upon an individual without giving notice. '
Noble Friend had had the petition in his possession mare
than one day, and he had ample time to give bone',.
After a few words from Lord BnounnAm, and fill
Earl ST_ NHOPE in explanation, the petition was ordure'
to lie on the table, and the House adjourned.
