new this practice to prevail to a great extent,

MR. BENT.

tradicted, that the punishment of Mr.llunt,forme:-

that the Petition be brought up.
Mr. DICKINSON said, he was as antious as any
one could be that the doors of that House should be
thrown open as wide as possible to admit the petitions
of the people.: but he did think the language of thispe-

it to be received by the House.—(Hear, hear.)—lt was
a most foul calumny to say that " boys" came to that
House to vote.—(Hoar, bear.?
The House then divided-1: or the motion, 17—A gainst

he was at a loss to know bow to proceed. The Petition
of the People of England had been rejected without
being beard now. It was an insult to the people, and
nothing pointed out the necessity of that Reform pray,

Petition'bad been treated. He repeated that such col-
Ana was an insult to the people of England.—(Cries of
