from your honourable House, he 

 be no longer prevented from ex- 

 ercising therein all the duties of a 

 member of the same. 



<' Above all, we earnestly pray 

 your honourable House, in con- 

 junction with sir Francis Burdett, 

 and in conformity to the notice he 

 ■ has given, to devise and adopt such 

 measures as will effect an immedi- 

 ate and radical reform in the Com- 

 mons House of Parliament, and 



ensure to the people a full, fair, and 

 substantial representation, without 

 which they must inevitably cease 

 to exist as a great, a free, a glori- 

 ous, and independent nation.'' 



The petition was adopted una- 

 nimously, with the exception of 

 the votes of Mr. Deputy Kemble, 

 Mr. Samuel Dixon, and another.
