)'rwts:;n~

iust this Court, deeply sensible of the inadequate state of the
i'...:4-csentation of the People in the Contnions House of Parlia-
r..-.rt, to .ire eTtci.iily as it regards the Cities of London and West-
r.,n,t..r, Cie Cteinty of :11itldltsex, and the Borough of Southwark,
w rest of the iiiingdont.
'lint the Ch.:in-:Nor t.f the Exchequer having stated that the
WAS in a unnlitiou or unexampled prosperity, this conceive
6. els;tctions usually raised to the dis.:ussion or this sub-
war ehd most now faii to the ground.
Taat the preset:: mode of electing Ns:tubers in close Boroughs
is si of the essential prinepLis of the Convitutioti, as ap-
iron: the Sd Ed‘viid I.—the Bill of Eights—the 2d and 3d
it :5 deelaced that the Election of Nleitibers
cc,zl.:t to he Etv, and that the Freetloni of Election to serve in Par-
t,. of :h.! ti.inoq consequence to the preservation of the
1t.211. autl Lli,:rties of the Kingdom.
tinita.g the monclous siolatious of these Laws, they have
recee:l) observed, that the. Inh.ibitatits of Dundalk have published
Pcse!,:tiino, deelarl:::.;, that a Nobleman, the Earl of Roden, mino-
r:l3,s rhvir Corporate Lauds and Seats, or otherwise disposes of
•it 1:.;;lits of Ilerreseniation, contrary to the Resolution of the
isms of Coatmor which Ot clares, that it is a lii,;11 Breach of
end an Ittfringcntont of env iCi;;lrts of the Cut-unions, for
Peer of the Itealin to intalvtv in the Election of Members of
Pailiain t.

That glaring inequalities appear generally in the state of the Re-,
pesentation, especially in the cases of Old Sarum, Castle Rising,
rot Newtown, in the Isle of Wight, who st nd as many Members to
Parliament, by the Votes of five or six Electors, as thr Cities of
Lora:on and Westminster, who have between twenty and thirty
:liousand Electors. And the Town of Nottingham, with two Mem-
bers, has more Inhabitants than all the Electors together in the
Cvn:ty of Cornwall, who send forty-four Members.

That in the late case of Grampound, and by the acknowledg-
;rent of one of the :Ministers of the Crown, it appears that the
Couir,y of York ought to have an additional number of iMembers.
his Court feel that the Cities of London and Westminster, the
tiny of :Nliddlestx, and the Ilorotigh o( Southwark, have an un-
:7/..vita'ule claim upon the justice of l'arliament for a much hazer
• .!nibtr :Viol:hers to reptes.:itt them in th,: 1 /UU,t: of Commons,
have at present, especially whets the Population, Pru-
iJly, T..laLiutl, Judicial, and Commercial Importance of the said
is rumored with the rest of the Kingdom.
'that lay the late Census of 1821, it appears that the said District
one-tenth of the whole Population hi Enland, Scotland,
and Wales, and sends only ten Members to Parliament; while the
stbir paizs of the Kingdom szad 548.
Th.t sui:l Distfict pit' to the Property Tax, in 1814, upon
seven of pro; arty, while the whole of the Kingdom wire
Charged 52 millions, or thereabouts; making nearly one-beveuth
part of the Tax, with less than one-fiftieth part of the number of
Representative,.

ihzt the said lli,:triet contains the Jail of Newgate, Prison for
I)r.uturs, Ludgate, lUiltspor-street, Clerkenwell PriNon, King's
1;c:/zit, and Westminster Pri.olb, Courts of Law, numerous Police
4ficts, all of which require the :amnion of 111embera locally
cuct-
t.Lcred with the Distr:ct.

That the Port and City of Lon(Ion contain numerous Docks con-
nected with the Shipping Int:rest, the Batik, Custom- House, Ezri%e
rot Pi,st Offices, insurance Offices, at.d various rising Instituticii:,
Which often require the aid of Por.ianient..ry Regulations.
