had delivered their sentiments upon the questions, to
deny that an inquiry.ought to take place befoie the
measures should be adopted. The House had heard
a great deal from Ministers abOut the-disaffection of
the country. The Noble Lord opposite (Lord Castle.'
reagh) had stated that a great quantity of stones were.
discovered to be piled together near where the Meet-
ing took place at Manchester, and great.stress had
been laid upon this representation. But he begged
to ask, after all, what were those statements, but
mere opinions, mere assertions -of one man to an-
other ? In truth, it had Veen admitted by those who
were most active' in bringing forward statements
tending to spew that the spirit of resistance to autho-
rity was prevalent among a certain class of persons,
that-all they had slated was given and ought to be
received as unconfihned facts. Upon such grounds,
however, Ministers thought themselves, justified in.
bringing forward measures of restraint and coercion
against the whole People. But there was one subject
upon which every what greed, namely, the existence
of distress. Now,teps were taken to remedy
it, notorious and pressing as it was ? The HoUse
would recollect, that a Committee -of Gentlemen
were engaged last Session in considering the state of
the foor Laws. What did all their pains and perse-
verance effect? Nothing, but the propositi on of an
insignificant alteration in the Law of Settlement. He
aaw several of the Gentlemen of.lreland on the other
side of the House : he would ask, what had they done
to relieve the distyesses of the poor peop)e in that
country? After having drawn tie a Report, in which I
they represented that upwards of
sit millions of acres
remained unemployed, they bald not yet proposed

these names by the interference of the' Lord Chan-
cellor. He at the same time admitted the probability
of having refused to put the name:. of Gentlemen, re-
commended by Mr. Cote, in the Commission of the
police, but asserted his right to do so. In order to
r the impartiality of the principle on which he
acted, he appealed to the circumstance of a similar
refusal, on his parts even although the Gentleman .
had been recommended by Mr. Wodehouse and Co-
lonel Wodeham, who were his particnlar frends.
The Honourable Member said, he Then went to. the
Lord Chancellor, who could not renAmber exactly
what the circumstanees,were, but. Ms Lordship had •
written to him 4 letter, in which, among other things,
he said he thought it improbable that there were any
names inserted In' the Commission, without the psi.

Mr. COKE said, the fact was this, he delivered
to. ;he Clerk of the Peace the names of certain Gen-
tlemen, whom he recommended as fit persons to be
inserted in ths Commission of the Peace, to be handed
in to the Lord Lieutenant. The Clerk immediately
..
told him (Mr. Coke) that Lord Suffield weld not
insert these names. Sorrie time afterwards he lrad
an interview with the Loud Chancellor, whet he told
