agricultural interest, and the propriety of 
petitioning parliament for relief’ Mr. 
Pryme moved resolutions for a petition to 
parliament for relief. The Rev. G. A. 
Browne doubted the expediency of a peti- 
tion without some mention of a reform. 
Mr. F. K. Eagle, after a short address, 
moved, as an amendment to the original 
resolutions :—“ That from what has taken 
place during the present and preceding 
sessions, it was the firm and decided 
opinion of this meeting, that any petition 
to the lower House of Parliament, as at 
present constituted, for relief from the 
difficulties under which the nation is 
siaking, would be entirely vain and fruit- 
less.’ Mr. Samuel Wells seconded the 
amendment. Mr. Beals read a letter writ- 
ten by the Duke of Bedford, in which he 
declared that it was useless to petition the 
House of Commons, for their petitions were 
year after year disregarded, and thrown 
aside as waste paper. The high sheriff 
put the amendmeut, which was carried by 
a considerable majority, and the resolu- 
tions for a petition was negatived.

NORFOLK. 
Within the month the agricultural la- 
. bourers of this and the adjoining county of 
Suffolk, assembled in great numbers with 
the avowed intention of destroying all ma- 
chinery which was preferred to manual 
labour. A great number of thrashing ma- 
chines were destroyed, barns pulled down, 
and ricks of corn consumed by fire. Many 
of the offenders were apprehended and 
committed for trial. The insurrection of 
the labouring classes seems, indeed, to 
have been almost general,
