The Lord Chancellorpresented a Petition from the County of Devon, in favour of Reform, the tenor of which, he said, was moderate, as it only prayed for a correction of the Representative system of the country. He trusted, that there was no person prepared to oppose a petition of this nature, as, however reasonable the objections to the other demands of Reform might be, he that could say, that the Representation of the country was perfection, and could not be improved, was fitter for a museum or a menagerie than to be a Member of the Legislature. He had, also, to present a Petition, numerously and respectably signed, from Liverpool, which contained a recommendation of a nature more questionable than that suggested in the last, and in which he could not state that he was disposed to acquiesce. The petitioners recommended the adoption of the Vote by Ballot, but, though he could not agree with them, he was far from doing what he had been misrepresented to have done; namely, treating the feeling of the people on this subject with contempt. He was aware that the public opinion in favour of the Ballot was growing stronger every day, and he treated those who held it with the deference they were entitled to. He was still unconvinced on the subject, and he believed that a Ballot would be nothing like the effectual remedy which the proposers of it expected.—Petitions to be laid on the Table.
