The Bishop of Gloucesterpresented Petitions against the Catholic Claims, from the clergy of Gloucester, the precentors and canons of St. David's, the clergy of St. David's, Brecon, Carmarthen, and Cardigan.—The Duke of Norfolk observed upon some of the Petitions, and took notice of the word Romanists in one of them, as a new designation given to the Catholics in public documents. If, however, it was meant to substitute it as a milder term for that of Papists, he had no objection to the change.—Lord De Dunstanville presented a Petition to the same effect, from the corporation and inhabitants of Penryn, stating that it was carried unanimously, at a numerous meeting—The Lord Chancellor objected to receiving it as the Petition of the inhabitants, as the common seal of the corporation could not represent the inhabitants who were not corporators. The Petition was, therefore, received as the Petition of the corporation only. The Duke of Norfolk wished to know the number of the inhabitants of Penryn? Lord De Dunstanville said, about 2,800. He had not, however, referred to the number of inhabitants, but to the Petition being unanimously agreed to, at a numerous meeting. Viscount Sidmouth presented a Petition to the same effect, from the corporation and inhabitants of Colchester.—Ordered to lie on the table.
