SOLICITOR-GENERAL. —" Very true, the Commissioners have not yet gone down, and the reason is, because certain forms must be previously complied with ; there necessarily must be some delay." Sir Rosser Wtmos offered to withdraw the Petition ; but the Marquis of LONDONDERRY objected to this, as it would prevent the House from marking its sense of the, merits of it.—The question that the Petition should lie on the table was then put. No voice was raised for it; but the Noes were loud, and it was of course rejected. Mr. HUE presented Petitions from five individuals, three women and two men, complaining of the violence with which they had been treated by the Cavalry; and praying for inquiry into the transaction.—Laid on the table, and ordered to be printed. Dr. LUSHINGTON said, he had a Petition to present, complaining of the same outrage which had formed the subject of the other Petitions. In the present instance, the individual very fortunately escaped with having his shoulder blade broken, while some of his countrymen had been murdered. He prayed, and his prayer was very reasonable, that, under the atrocious circumstances of the case, the instigators to the bloodshed that had taken place might be brought to justice—(Hear, hear).—Yet he (Dr. Lushington) had no hope, after what had passed in a former Parliament, that the decision of that night would pr6ve satisfactory. On that occasion the complaints of the people were treated with mockery; and he could not help thinking that something of the same kind was now intended. _ _ _  Mr. LAMBTON presented a Petition from Samuel Jackson. He had been wounded in the knee with a musket-ball—his leg was in consequence amputated—he had been fourteen weeks in the Infirrnaryand had never been able to work since.—Ordered to be printed. Petitions to nearly the same effect were presented from John Kershaw, James Smith, Owen► M'Cabe, and John Bruce.—Read, and ordered to be printed. Sir W. DE CILESPIGNY held in his hand four similar Petitions. The first was from a person who  described the Cavalry as having rode over and cut at all who fell in their way ; the Petitioner himself was stabbed in the shoulder, and narrowly escaped being' killed on the spot. The next was from James Leith, who having received two tremendous wounds, was carried to the Hospital: the Doctor asked him would he promise never again to be found in such company ? to which not having made a satislictory answer, he was obliged to leave the Hospital—(Hear, hear).-The next was from John Brooke, who, without having given any provocation, had been attacked by the Cavalry and wpunded.—These Petitions were severally rem', ordered to lie upon the table, and be printed. Mr. MONCK presented a Petition from a woman aged seventy-two. The Petition described the transaction as most bloody ; that, previous to the appearance of the trocps, the Meeting was perfectly orderly ; that the Yeomanry were in a state of intoxication when they made-the charge, in' the midst of which Petitioner was attacked by a trumpeter named Meagher, who cut her down. After her recovery from her wounds, Petitioner made application to the Magistrates at Warrington, who refused to receive her complaint : she therefore prayed the Honourable House for redress, and inquiry into the transactions of the 16th of August; and in this prayer he (Mr. Moack)-most heartily concurred. The Hon. Member also presented a similar Petition from James Ogle, who having been rode over, got up, and was pursued by a Yeoman; that, attempting to get over a wall, to save his life, he fell, in consequence of the wounds he had previously received, when another Yeoman gave Itint a cut over the eye.—Both these
