PARLIAMENTARY PROCEEDINGS.'
-No-,,,

HOUSE OF LORDS, APRIL 10. . .
Counsel were heard, and witnesses examined, on the Dismroa
Case of Peters o. Peters, and further proceedings were postponed
to Friday next. 4..
The Archbishop of CANTERBURY presented a .Pittidhb
against further concessions to the Catholics from the Clergy of the
Deanery of West Cleare,ln the Diocese of Canterbury.—Laid on
the cable.
Lord ROLLE presented a similar Petition from the. Mayor,
Corporation, and Inhabitants, of Barnstaple.
Lord KING, though personally unconnected, with the, bfeetiog
at which this Petition had been adopted, understood that a Gentle-
man who went to attend it was told thatit had been called to agree
to the Petition, and that if he came to oppose it, there was the
door and he must retire. Now, this Petition came from persons
who had a great dread of Jesuits, but a more Jesuitical proceedicg
he never heard of, than to represent the sentiments expressed as
that of the people of Barnstaple, where Individuals had not been
allowed to utter their opinions.
Lord ROLLE could not answer for what had passed at a alert. -
ing at which he was not present. He certainly conceived that all
individuals had a right to speak at a Public Meeting, and if any e ue
had been prevented or turned out, be would not justify the act,
Ail he knew of the Petition was, that ,
that it was signed by ail the respectable
and its neighbourhood. It was drawn u
