THE JEWS.

The following is the Petition of Mr. Owen, which was
presented by Mr. Robert Grant, on Monday night, in fa-
our of the Jews :

To the Honourable the Commons of the United Kingdom of Great
Britain and Iteland, in Parliament assembled,
THE HUMBLE PETITION OF ROBERT OWEN,

PIIIEWETII,—That your Petitioner is anxious that the Jews and
all men should be relieved from the injustice of suffering for their con.
,cien tious belief.

That your Petitioner is most desirous the British Government
should set an example of justice to the world, and declare by a Le.
gislative Act, that as man has not been formed with power of himself
to change the convictions prematurely forced into his mind in early
life, or at any time to resist the influence of the strongest evidence,
none ought to Suffer for his conscientious opinion, or be prevented
from honestly stating them.
That the contrary practice, through ignorance, has generally pre.
vailed in most nations of the world, to the great injury of the cha-
racter of man, intellectually and morally.
That this error has necessarily engendered uncharitableness,
unkindness, hatred, anger, revenge, and the greatest injustice among
mankind.

That your Petitioner therefore prays that all disabilities on ac-
count of their belief may be removed from the Jews. And your
Petitioner shall ever pray. ROBERT OWEN.
