§ Mr. Curteispresented five petitions from different parts of the county of Sussex, praying that a bill might be brought in to fix the holding of elections for knights of the shire for Sussex at Lewes. The hon. member then moved, pursuant to notice, for leave to bring in a bill to alter the place of holding county elections to Lewes, which, he observed, would be a great convenience to several parts of the county.
§ Lord G. Lennoxsaid, that whenever the bill was brought forward, he would give it his decided opposition, as a measure most injurious to the town of Chichester, and the western parts of Sussex.
§ Sir C. Burrellsaid, he would not oppose the motion for leave to bring in the bill, but he would by no means pledge himself to a concurrence in it when brought in.
Lave given to bring in the bill.
