NOTTINGHAM PETITION

The following is a copy of the petition presented by
Sir Robert Inglis last night

" TO THE HON. THE HOUSE OF COMMONS IN PARLIAMENT

ASSEUBLED.

" The Petition of the undersigned Electors of the Town and
Borough of Nottingham.
" Humbly showeth,,-That your petitioners have learned
from the printed votes of your Hon. House that, on the sth.
day of the month of May, in the present year, a vacancy was
occasioned in the representation of their town and borough, in.
consequence of Sir George Gerard do Hochepied Larpent, one
of the burgesses elected to represent it in this present Parlia-
ment, having accepted the office of one of her Majesty's
stewards of the Chiltern Hundreds.
" That in consequence of the vacancy thus occasioned, your'
petitioners expected that ycur Hon. House would have forth-
with directed the Clerk of the Crown to issue a new writ to
the sheriff of the town and county of the town of Notting-
ham, ordering him to take the usual legal measures for the
election of a burgess to serve in the present Parliament
for the said borough ; but that up to the present moment,
your Hon. House has abstained from ;riving any such direc-
tions, to the great disappointment and manifest grievance of
your petitioners.
, That your yetitioners have been informed, and verily
believe, that the writ for a new election for the town and
borough of Nottingham—which they claim as a right and
privilege belonging to the said borough, of which they ought
not, and cannot, be legally divested, at the arbitrary wid and
pleasure of any single branch of the Legislature—has heel'
withheld from them on the mere surmise and allegation of
an individual Memb.:r of your Hen. House, thus stated in
your printed votes t--' That a corrupt ,compromise has beer,
entered into in the case of the election petition from Notting-
ham, for the purpose of avoiding investigation into the gross
bribery alieged to have been practised at. the election for the
aforesaid town.'

" That, if any such corrupt compromise has been entered
into, your petitioners are ignorant of its nature, and are in no
respect parties to its stipulations; and they, therefore, submit
to your Hon. House, that they ought no: to be punished, even
by the temporary suspension of their franchises, for an offence
of which they are not gu.lty, and in which they disclaim ah
participation.
" That, although grievous allegations have been made
against your petitioners in the score of go ss bribery practised
at the last general election, no proof has yet been adduced in
support of such allegations; but that., nevertheless, your peti-
tioners have been c ndemned to the deprivation of the ser
vices of one of their representatives in Parliament without hav-
ing had an opportunity afforded them to make any defence
against such char ges—a course of proceeding which they firmly
but respectfully maintain to be unknown in the history of Par-
liament and in the practice of the Courts of Law, and to be
contrary to the iturroyablo laws of substantial justice.
" That the law of the land regulates the issue of all writs
on vacancies occasioned in your Hoe. House hy deaths, by un-
just returns, by the acceptance of office, and by other causes
which it is unnecessary to enumerate, and that any new re-
straint upon the issue of such writs caninA be legally imposed
without the assent of all die three branches of the Legislature.
" That, in all the other cases in which your Hon. House
has proceeded againA boroughs for gross and extensive bribery,
it has never suipented the writ until it has received a report
from one of its own Select Committees, declaring that the
sitting Members had been guilty by themselves or agents of
such bribery. arid no Commiitee has ever yet come to such a
report without hearing counsel and examining wtnesses en
both sides in confirmation and refutation of such charges.

" That, in the instance of your petitioners, all these safe-
guards of justice have been disregarded and set aside, and
your petitioners feeling how deeply they have been aggrieved
in being condemned without proof, and in being punished
without conviction, implore your Hon. House to re-consider
the propriety of direeLing a new writ to issue for the borough of
Nottingham.
" That there are now pending before your Honourable House
several public Bills of the highest interest and importance to
all the subjects of this realm ; and that your petitioners feel it
to be s, great grievance that upon all such lulls—to wit, the
Bill imposing the Property-tax, the Bill incorporating the new
Tariff with the Customs Acts, and the Bill for amendinA the
Poor-law—they are to be excluded from the right, which they
have hitherto Pettliesseil,pf declaring their opinions, and wishes
through the agency and-service of too representatives.
" That your petitioners humbly. submit, that the question
about issuing a new sift fur their borough is not so much a
question between Sour Honourable House and the borough of
Nottingham as between your Honourable House and every
other borough in the United Kingdom, of which the franchise
may be all equally violated, withtut means of resistance and
defence, if it shall now be adopted as a maxim of law, that in-
quiry is not to precede conviction, and that proof of guilt is
not to precede the infliction of punishment.
"That, your petitioners likewise submit, with all deference and
respect to your Hon. House, that the right of the electors of
Nottingham to their writ is a right which has belonged to them
fur some centuries, not derived from the House of Commons,
and therefore not to be taken away by the House of Coixmons,
except upon proof satisfactory to both Houses of Parliament,
that the electors have offended grievously against the law, and
have, therefore, individually and collectively, forfeited their
title to this privilege, which is arid most be exercised under the
law.

" That your petitioners further submit, that the issue of
new writ to their borough will riot interfere at all with the in-
quiry which your Honourable House has ordered to be made
into ' the corrupt compromise alleged to have been entered
into, for the purpose of avoiding investigation into the
gross bribery alleged to have been practised at the last
election for :Nottingham ;' and they beg leave further to
remind your Honourable House, that insa,e that inquiry is
proceeded with, and it shotsl.l be deemed necessary to enact
any new legislative measures, in -consequence of any report
`from the Committee app Hinted to conduct such inquiry, it is
only matter of simple justice that those parties who may be
more particularly implicated by such ,measures should be
present, by their two representatives, to protect the rights and
privileges which may be menaced with destruction.
" That your petitioners, for all these reasons, considering
the present suspension of their writ to be a measure, in law
uncOnatitutional, in treeedent unwarranted, and in tendency
tibiersive of all electoral rights, humbly pray your Honour-
able House to discontinue that suspension, and to facilitate to
your petitioners the means of exercising the right to which
they are by law entitled—the right of returning to your
.13olieurable House another hur7ess to serve them in the pre-
•

" And your pe:.itioriers, as in'etu:.y bcuuti,suitii ever pray, &c.
" June 15t3.1842,"

The SPEAKER then left the Chair and the House went
into Committee on the Customs Duties Act.
On the item of cottons manufactured in British
Possessions. for every NU in value, the duty tube EL
Mr. MANGLES urged on the Committee the neces-
sity of reducing the duty on East Indian cotton. The
duty on this article had been reduced, and because this
bad been dune it was not thought worth while to do any
more. But he thought the smallness of the duty at pre-
sent the very reason why it ought to be considered. He
would appeal to the justice of the Right Hon. Gentleman:
whether he would permit a duty of 11 per cent. to re-
main, and thus deprive India of a full mt'asure of justice.
Mr. GLADSTONE regretted that the Hon. Gentle-
men should have thought it necessary to occupy the time of the
Committee on so minute a matter. The amount in dispute
could not make any essential difference to the trade of India
one way or another. A subject of this nature did n t admit of
such minute distinctions as those which the Hon Member had
attempted to d:aw. If the proposition •of the Hon. Member
were adopted, and the principle were carried out in every in-
stance, the tariff would be one maze of confusion. Therefore,
he could not see why the silk manufacturers of this country
should feel any alarm. He should opposm the amendment.
Mr. HUMS was sorry that the Right Hon. Gentleman consi
dered this principle of to little value. • If we could send our
calico into India at a duty of 3 per cent. what could he more
fair than to admit their calico at the same rate? He would,
however, challenge the Government to point out any colony
whence calico could be exported, which would in the slightest
degree come into competition with the calico manufactured at
home. Ile should be very happy to record his vote in favour
of the amendment.
Dr. BOWRING did not Fee what advantage the proposed
duty of 5 per cent. would confer upon the Government, the
Treasury, or the people. He ,hould support the amendment.
Mr. WILLIAMS said we had other countries to compete
with besides India; and if the relative prices in France, Ger-
many, and other parts of the Continent should continue the
same as they were at present, he had no doubt but the consti-
tuents of the Hon. Member for Bolton would ins:ruet him to
come down to the House and demand a greater protection than
her Majesty's Government was new about to afford. On this
question he certainly should vote with her Majesty's Go-
Art rn went.

Alr. BARING said that the Committee which sat upon the
Cotton Duties, of which Lnrd Elleoly!rough was Chairman,
had recommended a duty of 315 per cent. upon India cotton,
instead of 5 per cent.; as it was at present ; and that being
the case, he should support the amendment of the lion. Alem-
her for Guildford.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said they
were arranging the tariff on the principle that there was to be
a differential duty between foreign countries and colonies. but
this was different from admitting produce from one colony
al nc. Were they prepared to make a difference for every
single colony of the empire? He did not think this duty would
practically inflict any injury on India. The rule ought to be
made general, and applicable to all colonies, and therefore he
must oppose the proposition of the Hon. Member.
Mr. MARK PHILLIPS, on the part of the Button manu-
facturers of the country, repudiated the idea that they had
any desire to retain this dith rential duty, and he therefore
could not see why it should be proposed.
Mr. HUME said .the Right Hon. Gentleman oppesitc had
stated that if they made this alteration they would be called
upon to, make further changes in consequence of the changes
made in the East Indies. lie begged to remind the House
that no alteration could be made in India without' receiving
the sanction of the English Legislature.—(( Hear, hear.)
Strangers were then ordered to withdraw, and the Committee
divided, when there appeared—

For the amendment .... 42
Against it 56
Majority against the amendment —l4
The articles to damasks and damask diapers were a:reed to.
It .was then proposed, that instead of the duti on damasks
ard damask diapers, being for every 1001. of the value 30/., as
placed in the published tariff, that damask should be tor every
square yard 10d., and damask diaper for every square yard sd.
Mr.• S. WORTLEY said that the parties engaged in the
trade wished that the duty should he reduced fifty per cent.,
and not as proposed in the tariff front forty to fifteen per cent.
He thought the suggestion deserved the consideration of the
Government.

Mr. GLADSTONE did not think that the reduction pro-
posed in the tariff was excessive, or that it was likely in-
juriously to effect the trade. He thought on the whole, it was
a fair thy y, and would give the trade the same protection as was
enjoyed by other branches of manufactures. With regard to
the advantages of Belgium "in growing the raw material, they
should rather look to what had actually i e.Ailted from that cir-
cumstance, than anticipate what might occur in future. It
was true that they received large quantities of flax from Bel-
gium, but they sent it back in a manufactured state, not as tine
linen, but as linen yarn. In his opinion, there were no
sufficient grounds for refusing to apply to the linen manufac•
ture the same principle wh•ch had been applied in other cases.
After a short conversation the items were agreed to.
On the question that, the duty on sails should be fifteen per
cent., Mr. HUME objected to any duty.
Mr. GLADSTONE defer ded the Imposition of the duty,
observing that by the present proposition a benefit of fifteen
per ceht. was given to the public.
• The item was then &greed to, as were also several other
items.
On the item of cotton, or waste of cotton wool,

Dr. BOWRING said there was a design entertained in Ger-
many to double the duty on the yarn imported into this country,
He was afraid that the work of reform had commenced too late
to restore the country to its lost position. In America the
progress of manufactures was very remarkable. There was a
constant increase in the amount exported as compared with
that which was retained for home consumption. Considering
the present position of this country, he would propose that the
duty upon cotton wool, instead of a duty of 2e. lld. should be
reduced to a duty of one penny per hundred weight.
Mr. 11. PHILIPS said, considering the disadvantageous
position in which. the tenantry was placed by the duty on this
article, he felt butted to advocate its entire reduction. Instead
of commanding a l the markets of the world we were bring
continually supplanted by other countries.—( Hear, hear. )
He did nut beieve that the present depression was a mere
temporary one; he was afraid there was little reason to expect
that it would be removed ter a long time to come On behalf
of the operative portion of the community he raked to have
this question lc considered ; he, asked not for protection, but
he rid request them not to tie up one hand at the British manu-
facturer, and yet. expect him to overcome all foreign romper
tition. her than throw away so much revenue by the re-
duction of the duty upon timber to build houses. when there
were ,o many already unoccupied, he would beg of them to
consider how many millions of their manufacturing fellow-
countrymen only could relieve by adopting another course than
the one they proposed upon the present occasion.,( Hear.)
Mr. GLADSTONE said he should see the ft.ree of the
arguments of the Hon. Gentleman if the Government had
a surplus of revenue and was thinking in what manner they
should dispose of it ; tut that was not the case ; the answer to
the Hon. Gentleman would be that unless the Committee
were prepared to impose other taxes arid make new provisiuns
for the public service, he was afraid they could not vote any
reduction in this important part of the tariff. He did not think
that the proposed duty would at all affect the manufacturing
interests at home, for the price of the raw material was so low
now that it r rid the duty together would not make the amount
so great as the price of the raw material alone was some time
ago. Instead of our being afraid of American competition, it
wocld appear that the Atm ricer's had reason to be afraid of our
competition, and that was the opinion on the subject which was
entertained by the American Committee of Congress.
Mr. BRO I'HERION said it had been truly stated that
the burdens of this tax were about 60:40001. a-sear, but there
must be at least. 200,0001. more wising from waste and loss in
the different operations which the cotton underwent. They
would see, then, that this tax was a very heavy one ; it was also
most unjust; it was levied by the pound, and the same duty
was paid upon cotton at tid. a lb. as on cotton at e'd. a lb. It
pressed heavily upon the labouring classes, and the tax of
600,0001. upon the raw material would be equal to Is. a week
upon the wages of every man, woman, and child in the cotton
manufacture throughout the country. He feared there was no
• chance of ihe duty being; removed or alle ed at present, but .he
did hope that the Government would endeavour to do so at the
earliest opportunity.
Mr. Alderman HUMPHERY did not think the proposed al-
teratiun in the duty would at all benefit the poor; the difference
that would be made by it would be so very trifling. Neither
the consumer nor the !abjurer wculd benefit by the proposed
alteration ; and any advantage to be derived from it would, in
his belief, go into the pockets of the -.tabby manufacturers.
Mr. W. PATTEN said that, in his opinion, the taking off
the duty would be benefiCial to all classes ; but he did not think
that it would, for the present at least, be wise to sacrifice so
large an amount of revenue. - He hoped, however, that the
time would soon come, when they could safely effect the pro-
posed alteration.

- Mr. COBDEN said that the Hon. Member for Southwark
(Mr. Alderman Humphery) had, on a former occasion, suc-
ceeded in reducing the duty on lobsters and WI bot ; and after
what had fallen from nim that even'tig, he (Mr. Cobden)
would take the liberty to advise the worthy Alderman to stick for
the future to lobsters and turbot.—( A laugh.) The removal
of the duty would not materially reduce the price of a single
pair of stockings, but it would give a general impulse to our
cotton trade.
Mr. P. HOWARD said that he should vote for the motion
of the Hon. Member for Bolton (Dr. Bowring) because he
believed that it would afford to the -cistressed operatives, en-
gaged in the trade, imtantmeous
Mr. FIELDEN said there could be no doubt but the tax
was an impolitic one. He th ught the passing, of the Ten
Hours' Bill would do more to relieve the Cotton manufacturers
than alt the protection in the world. If they were to take the
du'y off cotton wool, they could afford to sell their manufactures
foul per cent. less than they do now.
Mr. HUME agreed with the lion. Member, that the hours
of labour ought to be reduced ; but it was the competition which
the manufacturers were obliged to submit to that caused the
extension of the hours of labour to even sixteen hours a day,
that competition being caused by the enormous amount of taxa-
tion imposed on the country. The truth of the statement of
th, Hon. -limber for Stockport would be discovered in the
courscrof another Ses ion, and then the present C;,-ivcrnment, it
they reurined io office, would be :Is anxious to do away with
this duty as they were at. prciient I-nano:1:o it.—( )
