Apsley took his seat in Chancery, a Peeress came 
into court, and was seated on the hench by his 
side ; she came to give her consent that a sum 
should be paid out of court to the person who was 
to take some property after her decease. Lord 
Apsley told her he would not detain her ; but she 
begged to stay a little longer, ‘‘ wishing,” she 
said, ‘‘ to see how they proceeded in settling it, as 
it was only eighty-two years since her cause had 
been in court’’!!! 
—. The disqualification of Mr, O’Connel, and a 
new writ for Clare, ordered by the House of Com- 
mons. 
Want of room prevented the insertion, in our 
last number, of the following Petition to the Le- 
gislature, which was presented to the House of 
Lords by Lord Farnham (April 10), and to the 
House of Commons by Lord Tullamore (March 
30 :)— 
" The Humble Petition of the Editors, Proprie- 
tors, Printers, Publishers, and others con- 
nected with the Montuty MAGAzINE :— 
Sheweth, 
«“ That—feeling the common interest of all free- 
born Englishmen in the freedom of their country, 
they haye heard with great alarm that the Con- 
stitution of 1688 is to be broken in upon. 
“ That—being, in their different ranks of life, 
devoted to Literature and the employments there- 
from arising, they look upon this danger with 
personal and peculiar dread; inasmuch as all 
experience has pYoved, that with the fall of afree 
Constitution perishes the free literature of a coun- 
try. 
“That your Petitioners see, in the measure of 
bringing Papists into the Legislature, the com- 
mencement of a system, in all its principles, prac- 
tices, and progress, fatal to Protestantism—to 
equal law—to ancient privileges—to the whole 
body of those rights and liberties which were 
wrung by the courage and wisdom of English- 
men from Papists and the abettors of papist ty- 
ranny. 
«““ That—they see, in its operation on the Laws, 
the rapid rise of that most dreadful of all govern- 
ments—a military pESPoTiIsM! the substitution 
of might for right, and the consequent seizure, ex- 
ile, or extinction of every man who will dare to 
lift up his voice for his country. 
“ That they see, in its operation on the Legisla- 
ture, the introduction of an unlimited number of 
individuals, returned exclusively by the Romish 
priesthuod ; representing the inveterate hostility 
of that priesthood to the religion, liberties, and 
existence of the British empire ; chosen expressly 
for their violence, prejudices, and dependence 
upon their masters ; and certain to be the direct 
and united agents of all and every popish power 
_ on the Continent, that desires to perplex the coun- 
cils and break down the independency of Eng- 
land. 
« That—with still deeper dread they see, in 
its operation upon Protestantism, the pollution of 
the national faith, by the intermixture of the 
strange rites and unhallowed doctrines of Rome 
—the exaltation of idolatry—the abjuration of that 
solemn and high covenant, by which our fore- 
fathers pledged themselves to man and God that 
Chronology, Marriages, and Deaths. 
[JuneE, 
they would no more for ever suffer Popery to de- 
grade the understanding, pervert the hearts, and 
cloud the eternal hopes of their fellow-men ;—by 
which they commanded that every member of the 
Legislature should thenceforth swear on the 
Scriptures that Popery was a superstition and an 
idolatry ; and by which they laid upon the King 
that Coronation Oath, which bound him, as to 
three alike immutable things—to the ‘ mainte- 
nance of the Laws of God’—the ‘ true profession 
of the Gospel’ and the ‘ Protestant Established 
Religion’—for ever. 
“Your Petitioners, therefore, pray your Ho- 
nourable House to take this their humble request 
into consideration, 2nd throw out any Bill for the 
admission of Papists into the British Legislature. 
“And your Petitioners will ever pray.”
