Earl G ROSV EN Olt toch this occasion to observe, that he knew
an opinion prevailed out of the House, that his Majesty's Ministers
were not earnest in their professions fur the Abolition of the Slave'
Trade. Ile could not believe the aver :awl ; but if it should tiara
out otherwise—if his Majesty's Ministers should prove lukewarm
in the cause—lie should not feel himself bound to maintain the
same reserve as he had latterly done. Ile should, on the contrary,
feel himself hound to bring before their Lordships, on the next Ses-
slim of Parliament, the great question of Colonial Amelioration,
without which he must regard the entire abolition of the MARC
Trade as hopeli ss.
'the Earl of BOSEBERRY presented a Petition from Linlith-

F.arl added, that he understood the Bill had passed the House, but
