HOUSR F I'r".ISIIDS, OCT. 3.
The house met at four o'clock, for the purpose of receiv-
ing petitioas on the subject of the Reform Bill.
The Slarquis of CLEVELAND presented petitions from
the county of Durham, and from Wallington, in Shropshire,
in favour of reform ; and the following petition from the
parish of Saint Mary-le-Strand.
" To the Right Hon. the Lords Spiritual and Temporal in
Parliament assembled.
" The bumble petition of the inhabitant hooselioldent of
the parish of St. Blary-le-Strand, in the county of slid.
dlcsex and libirty of Westminster, in public meeting duly
convened by their churchwardens, this 30th day of Sep.
tember, 1831,
Sheweth,—That your petitioners have long been as.
tisfied that a Reform in the representation of the people in
patliament was necessary to their happiness and ptosperity.
" That being householders engaged in various Mode of
btoiness, and mixing much with the middle class of society,
and from their employing numbers of wueking people, they
tree necessarily had many opportunities of °Nerving, and
hate observed, the growing desire of the classes of persons
for such a reform in Parliament as would enable the people
to return as representatives, men who should appear to them
to be the best qualified to carry on the business of the uatior.
" That your petitioners could not but entertain the fear
that this, so desirable, and now inchspenuLle, measure
would be delayed until the time had gone by when it could
have been advantageously adopted.
" Your petitioners were, therefore, highly giatilled whit
the declaration of the present Ministers, that they, wilt
the sanction of his Majesty, would propose a Reform
which would be acceptable to the people; and they, in
public meeting ass. whirs!, *apnoea their gratitude to
their good and gracious King for his care of his faitlifal
subjects.
" Your petitioners are fully convinced that the Bill for
amending the representation of the people in Parliament
i. a wise measure, and will, if it become law, be the means
or promoting every desirable purpose.
`. Your petitioners are also fully persuaded. that if the bill
be rejected, the most direful consequences will ensue—con-
sequences more terrible than any ever before witnessed in
this country.
Your petitioners have property of various kinds, which
they would not willingly place in jeopardy, and lives which
they would not willingly risk ; but they cannot conceal from
themselvee, and will not disguise from your Inrdships, their
deliberately formed opinions that the matter has proceeded
too fat to be relinquished; and that should the bill be rejected
by your honourable house, every man's property and life
sill be endangered, and, above all, the property and lives
o: th' higher ranks of. society.
" Your petitioners have been alarmed with reports of
fears, very generally entertained, that your lordships
will reject the bill; they ere, however, well satisfied.
that your lordships will not reject the bill, if your
lerclabips shall be convinced that a majority of the per-
none deemed eligible by the bill to exercise the elective
tranchise, are desitous that it should be the law of the land.
Your petitioners do, therefore, most wilentely assure your'
Lordship. that they have no doubt that it is very earnestly
desired by a majority, oot . only of the persons alluded to,
but by an immense majority of the whole male population;
that this is not the impulse of the moment, neither is it
vain desire /or something new, nor a restless des re for change ;
but that it is the result of deliberate consideration, and a tho-
rough conviction that nothing but the passing of the Bill
can save the country from a violent commotion, in which
our admirably.constructed Government would probably be
tle,:royed. _ .

•• Your petitioners deprecate all violent change., conechr.
ff s thaf, if the bill become law, it will tend to pits rtre
the Government is its remit form, preserve the preroga.
tir,s of the crown, and rite privileges of the peers, whilst it
rc,tur,s, and will maintain, the liberties of the people ; they
more ntost humbly pray,
•• That your Lordships will be pleated to rasa the bill
as little delay as may be consistent wi.:h the forms of
our honourable house.
