• The Earl of CARNARVON presented a Petition
from Samuel Drummond, of Manchester, reedmaker,
setting forth various circumstances; which he alleged
,as hardships, grievances, and oppressions, exercised
upon him under the authority of the Life Suspension
of the Habeas. Corpus Act. Among others he alleged
that lie was assisting at a legal and peaceable Meet,
ing, assembled for the purpose of addressing the
Prince Regent in withhold his assent from the Bill
for suspending the Habeas Corpus Act, when the
meeting was forcibly dispersed by certain Officers,
who, instead of preserving, proceeded so as to break
the peace, as he could prove at the bar of the Hodse.
That there' never was a more peaceable meeting thaw
that which was entirely dispersed by a riotous, not
to •s* drunken, soldiery. That the Petitioner was one
of those who were forcibly taken feoin the Meeting
and conveyed to a prison in Manchester, where the
allowance to prisoners was, he described, such as to
be insufficient for its avowed purpose ; nor could he
be accommodated m ith other food, though lie offered'
to pay for the same ; that he was told, at a short
notice, he must prepare to depart for London, v.-hi-
ther lie was accordingly sent, and scan after had no
less than SOlbs. weight of irons put upon him, and
sent to the House of Correction, in Coldbarh-fields ;
that when brought before Lord Sidmouth, the Secre-
tary of State, he wits 'told he must be committed on
suspicion of High Treason ; that notwithstanding his
' intreaties against such a removal, he was conveyed
to the prison of the county of Dorset, and afterwards
from thence, on the 28th April, further removed to
the goal for the county of Devon. That after his
liberation on his recognizance he had to come up to
London, though, in fact, he had committed no of- •
fence against the laws of his country ; that he had to •
attend in the Court of King's Bench, where he was
told that the Chief Justice had it not in his power
finally to discharge him; and further, that he was
not released from his recognizance. Mk': some few
filiffier allegations of a similar nature and effect, the
Petitioner prayed their Lordships, on the ground of
all the injuries and grievances he had experienced, not
to, allow a Bill for Indemnifying his Majesty's Mini-
sters, or their agents, from all consequences of such
conduct, to pass into a law.
Previously to the full reading of this Petition, and
with reference to the framing of its title and address, •
'some conversation took place, in which several of
their Lot thhipsioarticipated, doubts bei:,g eittertain-
ed as to the propriety or regularity of receiving
Petition so couched. In this stage of the proceeding •
The Earl of CARNARN'ON stated, the intention
was to propose that the Petition should be referred
to their Lordships' Secret Committee. • •

FOR TIIE GRAVEL AND STONE, LUMBAGO, &c.
HICKMAN's PILLS are allowed tb be Ilse most
successful Medicine ever discovered for ecoluiny remov-
ing, and preventing the future recurrence o( all those arders
which arise from an imperfect action of the Urinary Organs; as
Gravel and Stone, Lumbago, Pains in Back and Loins, and Sup-
pression of Urine. It combines chemically with the secreted
fluid, dissolves and entirely carries away the gritty matter there
formed, and prevents its future formation, by strengthening ge-
nerally the whole Urinary System: thus delivering the suffering
patient from the excruciating tortures of those diseases without
violence or injury to the Constitution.
These Pills are composed of the most innocent ingredients,
and require neither confinement nor mtraiut of dirt during
their use.
No greater ressonunendation can be offered of them than the
fact of their having possessed for many years past the highest
reputation that has ever beau acquired by any Medicine, and in
particular the countenance and approbation of many of the
Faculty.

The Earl of LIVERPOOL suggested that such a
motion could not properly be made without some
previews notice. .

• Lord HOLLAND took occasion to advert to some
farthzr Papers which he understood had been coin.
niunicated to the Secret Committee, without his,
or, he believed, many others of their Lordships:
knowledge. •
The Earl of LIVERPOOL replied, that the Papers
alluded to, had been communicated in the regular
wa and by the command of the Prince Resent.
Lord HOLLAND, recurring to the subject of the
Petition, said Ile was surprised at any difficulty being
made to the•receiving a Petition, which complained
of that greatest•ot all grievances, unjust and illegal
imprisonment.
'fhe Earl of LIVERPOOL referred only to the
I form in which the Petition, as to its introductory
part, seemed to be couched. in this he thcught it
sr:oldd be but wise to adhere to what he believed had
been the •general practice of the House in such cases.
The Marquis of LANrDO'IVNE was of opinion,
that such minor considt•rations, in a else tl:e

preient. were better not too closely attended to ; but
that on occasions so greatly important to the liberty
of the subject, the door, of the House shculd be
thrown open tolhe reception cf petitioninz.
The LORD (111NCELLOR observed, that in
cases where Petitions were drawn up in a disrepec:-
ful manner, there could be no doubt as to the irr-
propriety of receiving them: the intentioa in st.Cl
case; as to oily languitse which miv,ht he used, v-at
a matter for consid:zrAtiert; but with reference to t'.e
precut case, he believed that Petitions so worded
were not received by the House.
Lad HOLLAND as'.ed, would the Noble ar.d
Lc.sraed Lerd pledge that no• Petition word.
