PITITION 01 TH2 SCOTCH onwanac ASSIMILT.
The Earl of HADDINGTON rose. in accordance
with the polka be had given, to present a Petition from
the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland re-
specting certain records belonging to that body which
were at present in the possession of the heads of Sion
College. The petiti:n came into his hands during the
last week, and he would then have presented it were it
not from an understanding that it was the intention of
the Right Hon. the Secretary of State for the Home
1) •partment, and a Noble and Learned Lord whom he
did not then see in his place, to communicate with the
Provost and Fellows of Sion College, and endeavour to
do that which it was the object of the petitioners to
effect. Since then he had been informed that a com-
munication bad been made by the Right Hon. Seer&
tary to those panics, and the reply to that constounica-
tion was, that they considered themselves unaccount-
able to the General Assembly for those records, and.,
'feeling that they wee bound by a deed of trust to with-
hold them. refused either to love them up or to allow
copies of them to be taken. Under these circumstances'
it appeared to the Kirk of Scotland, who were advised
that they could not sue at law for the recovery of the
property, that the only coons they could pursue was
to petition the House for their interference in a matter
which was to them of considerable consequence. The
history of those records wai rather curious; and fur-
ther to Replan their miters be would, with their
Lotdships' permission. enter into a brief detail of some
of the circumstances connected with them. They
consisted of three volumes In assaesciipt, and were
entitled, " The Book of the Universal Kirk of Scot•
land." In them there was contained considerable
information respecting the ecclesiastical establishment
of that country. These volumes were laid upon the
table of the General Assembly in 1635, and were revs-
lady authenticated by that body, and approved of as
true and genuine registers of the Kirk of Scotland.—
During the troubles that ensued shortly after this
period they were committed-to the charge of a Mr.
Andrew Ker. Clerk of the Assembly, sod were subse-
quently transferred to the custody dualities individoals,
sad were sometimes is one hand and sometimes in an-
other. Suffice it to say, that at last the three identical
volumes now in question were found in the-hands of an
individual named Campbell, a Minister, anti one of die
nonjuring Bishops of Scotland. who was the grandson
of a man that had suffered in the same cause. to which
he subsequently fell a victim by the hands of the public
executioner; and it appeared that they were afterwards
disposed of by this individual in a way that did not
reflect much honour upon him. When they were known
to be in Mr. Campbell's possession, a correspondence
took place between Mr. William Grant, at that time
Clerk of the Church of Scotland, and that Rev. Gen-
denten, in which the latter offered to give them up foe
a considerable sum of stoney, but not until the dace.
meats had been published, *bids be proposed should
be under his own immediate direction. and with the un-
derstanding that no one of the nonjuring Ministers, or
other member of the Kirk of Scotland, was to revise the
publication as it issued from the press. Such condttions
as these were, as might be expected, not immediately
acceded to by the General Assembly ; they objected to
such terms as unreasonable, and, while this sort of cor-
respondence was taking place between the Church of
Scotland and Mr. Campbell, that Gentleman took a
srep by which it was intended for ever to put those do-
cuments out of the reach of that body, having placed
.hem in the hands of the Provost mid Fellows tf Sion
College. where they have since been detained. Having
stated thus far, he would merely move that the petition
be read at length. The petitioners contended that Mr.
Campbell had no power to dispose of those valomble re-
cords in the way be had done. and u hich were nut the
property of any individual, but belonged to the whole
body at large. He did pot reflect in the least upon the
conduct of the Governors Of Sioo College, but prayed
that the Legislature, in its eisdom. would adopt some
means whereby to relieve those individuals from• the
restraint they felt themselves under to retest the surrea•
Jer of those papers. mid to restore to their real owners
the possession of such important records. He should,
therefore, beg to recommend the petitioners prayer to
;he attention of his Majesty's Government. confiding in
their wisdom as to the coarse they might think fit to
pursue

The Petition having hem read.
The Bi.hop at LONDON expre.sed himself obliged
to the Noble Earl for having given him inch timely
notice of his intention to preseHt the petition as had
enabled him to gain such information as he misted
'would be satisfactory to the Noble Earl, and which
gave him au opportunity to enter into a complete jai-
ti6cation of the conduct pursued by the Provost and
&anus et Sion Concha. He, /imams, previously
