§ Sir R. Wilsonsaid, he had a petition to present from 500 inhabitants of the town of Chorley, in Lancashire, praying that the right of elective franchise, so grossly abused by the inhabitants of Penryn, might be transferred to them. He was of opinion, that their request was highly reasonable. Though the House had rejected his motion for transferring the franchise from Barnstaple to some of the unrepresented large towns, he should not relinquish that subject; nor till some such measure was taken to introduce a more equal representation of the people in that House, would he consent to the imposition of one shilling of additional taxes.
§ Ordered to lie on the table.
