SIR JOHN AND LADY DOUGLAS.

Mr. WHITBREAD rose and said, that, within a
short time, a Gentleman had• put into his hand a
Petition, which he requested him to present to the
House ; and that, on reading it over, and finding in
k no langi.age inconsistent or unbecoming in a Peti-
tion addressed to the House of Commons, he had
felt it his bounden duty to undertake the charge of
presenting it. The Petition was from Major-Gene-
ral Sir John Douglas, on behalf of himself and Char-
lotte Lady Douglas, his wife; and it was signed by
both—a circumstance which he pointed out to the
Gentleman that handed it to him as irregular.—He
hoped, however, that, in a case of an extraordinary
nature, the House would not consider this infor-
mality as an impediment to its being received, if
there should exist no other objection. He now,
begged leave to move, that the Petition be brought
up and read.
The SPEAKER having put the question, and no
opposition being made, the following Petition was
brought up and read :

" To the Honourable the Commons of the United Kirgdom
of Great Britain and Ireland in Parliament assembled.
" The Humble Petition of Major-General Sir JOUN DOUGLAS
and CHARLOTTE his Lady,

a Judicial proceeding, or before such a tribunal as will legally
support an indictment of your Petitioners for perjury, it the
said Depositions are raise:
" That ) our Petitioners feeling the fullest confidence in the
justice of their cause, and that their said Depositions contain

penalties of perjury if untrue

tioners before such tribunal, as it Their Depositions are false they

selves under any want of legal forms.
(Signed) " joint boucr..ss,
" On behalf of himself and Cl.atlotte his Lady."
The Petition was ordered to lie on the table.
PRINCESS OF WALES.

Mr. WHITBREAD then rose and said, that at
the time he proposed certain questions to the Noble
Lord who was one rd his Majesty's Principal Secre-
taries of State, which questions that Noble Lord had
not thought proper to answer, he then stated to the
House those reasons which he was now ready to re-
state with perfect sincerity; but before he sat down
he should shew, by internal evidence, that upon the
discussion. which took place on the Friday preceding
the last, he had hoped that an'end wouldithen be put
to the unpleasant and painful oircumstances from
