§ Mr. Whitbreadpresented a Petition from 198 several debtors confined in the King's-bench prison complaining of various hardships and grievances sustained by them. Those statements, the hon. member observed, if true, contained much matter of serious charge against the person or persons entrusted with the regulation of the prison. He did not, however, mean to pledge himself to the accuracy of the allegations set forth in the Petition; neither did he know that they were inaccurate. In presenting it, he had merely done what he conceived it was his duty to do as a member of parliament.—Ordered to be on the table.
