§ Mr. ISAAC FOOTI have been asked to present a petition to the House, which I beg leave to do, in the following terms:
To the Honourable the Commons of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland in Parliament assembled. The petition of the under signed humbly showeth that, believing vivisection to be morally unjustifiable, scientifically useless, and dangerous and demoralising to the community, they earnestly pray your Honourable House to pass a Bill withdrawing the sanction of the law from this practice, and your petitioners, as in duty bound, will ever pray.
