the whole, he thought there was little doubt cf these
persons being ripe for some dangerous couvulsion:
Many who attended were either smiths, or habited
.as
such, and were known to have pistils concealed •
under theit leather aprons. He had that day re
oeived aietter from a most respectable Clergyman,
which spoke of the most serious depredations having
taken place in that quarter. Their Meetings wale •
frequent and numerous, and there could be no doubt
that. their object was to eacite a more extensive
system of sedition, if not rebellion. The brother
of a Noble Earl then absent (Earl Grey) was described
to have had his recideace in the country attacked,- .
and been forced to seek protection for his family id r.
one of the nearest large towns. He trusted the Bills'
aeould be carried through serith the utmost expesii::-• . •

frequent, bat they MOM divided into parties, and".
appeared at different places ; they were, however, air
tended with the cap of liberty, the death's head and:'
I cross hones, and other inflammatory symbols. The
Machinations which caused these had made too muck
way.' He still hoped these people would see theit -..., •
error in the end, and no longer continue such dame

gerous and destructive practices. He was lately anti''
'.
sured, that no less than 14,000 men, chiefly armed,
Were in readiness for insurrection in the county be: ,

thing he could learn, they were in a state•iittle short I

that, without some strong precautionary measures,
some general insurrection would take.place. Some
of the districts in that quarter were, he was happy to
Way, quiet and loyal, and cherished very little of Rse •
dicalism or disaffection. His Lordship instanced the
.Western parts of Durham, and the Northern parts of - . .
the County'of York. He thanked their Lordships '
for the attention they had favoured him with; but he
thought it right to acid the information which he hid '
received from neatly the same qvareer to that *which , . '
the -Noble Earl had shortly referred to (Neer, hear).

that if any Honourable Member, having been, me i it,
