There were fully as many short-borns and Devons as Scots and homebreds from Norfolk, and nearly, or quire, as many Scots and homebreds as short-horus, from the Northern and Midland districts. Hence it would seem that these districts have changed, to some extent, their systems of grazing.

I therefore proposed that which I thought common sense dictated; namely, to have all the petitions presented to the House, the Speaker being in the chair; to have them read at full length, either by the member presenting them, or

Then, it much anxiety upon the subject as they was agreed, that for Friday last, and Monday last, no petitions should be presented but those which related to the bill which substitutes courts-martial instead of judges and juries in Ireland. Several of the members who stood before me on the list, had none of these to present; so that the turn reached me on Friday, but it reached me after the clock had struck three; so that I had to begin with my thirty petitions (of which I will speak more particularly by-and-by), and therefore I had the whole of the three hours before me, if I had chosen to occupy the whole time.

My readers will perceive, and I beg those who have sent petitions to me upon other subjects, to observe it well, that I have been thus absolutely excluded from the possibility of discharging my duty towards them so soon as I could have wished. I have petitions in great numbers, relating to great grievances of various descriptions; to alleged misconduct of magistrates; of partial

chipping away the great right of peti-

right be undermined, or in any manner
done away with, general convulsion
must be the consequence. If men be
heard patiently, and have their words
put upon record, they will repay
that patience with patience of their
own; they will wait; they will enter-

they will see that there is no redress
except in a resort to such means as I
trust there will not come, after all, any
necessity for resorting to.
