Mr. Pryor), moved Resolutions for a Petition to Par-
rot for relief. The Rev. O. A. Browne doubted
expediency of a Petition without some mention of
Reform. Sir. F. K. Eagle, after a short address.
pored as an amendment to the original Resolutions:
—•• That from what bas takes place daring the pre-
sect and preceding Sessions, it is the 6rm and decided
opinion of this Meeting, that any Petkion to the
Lower House of Parliament, as at present constituted.
for relief from the difficulties under which this nation
is sinking, would be entirely vain and fruitless." Mr.
late.nel Wells seconded the amendment. Mr. Beals
read a Ivor written by the Duke of Bedford, (a
which the Noble Doke declared that it was useless to
petition the House of Commons, as it now is consti-
-lu:ed, fur their petitions were year after year disre-
garded, tied thrown aside as waste paper.—The High
B.atilf put the Amendment, which was carried by a
cotsiderable majority, consequently the Resolutions
for a Petition fell to the ground. Thanks were voted
t, the High Sheriff, who returned his acknowledg•
merits; after which the Meeting was dissolved.
