many Petitions from Scodatid with no name on the first sheet. I
cannot, therefore, present them to the House. They are so nu-
merous that I cannot send them back, and therefore' take this
opportunity of apologising for nut presenting them. lily Lords, I
could not take more efficient means of accounting for the uon-
delivery of these Petitions. I have abo two Petitions from indi-

Mr. Henry Hunts but they were informal, and he could nut pre-
sent them.

w~ato'psoduce a lasing to the pdblic by reducing the Militia Staff

bad a right, it they thought proper, to dispense with the services
of Non commissioned Officers when their services were no longer

poNsible; and the Noble Duke expressed a hope that the Wale
