only a part of the Commons of England had representatives in Parliament , it ' might occur in a course of years that the sense of the Commons in Parliament should be in direct opposition to the almost unanimous voice of the people . Petitions were presented from all quarters against the bill : of of
ne ^ er was the voice the city London so strongly expressed , both in Common Council , Common Hall , meeting ' s of wards ¦ ¦ ' and meeting of parishes . The same unanimity was manifested in other parts of the kingdom , and we might fairly say ,
that if the kingdom were polled not one person in a hundred would be found in favour of the measure . Notwithstanding this declaration of the public mind the Houses of Commons and Lords pursued their rapid course , and with great majorities carried their measure . One resource
was now left for the people , which was seized by the city of London , and a petition was resolved on to the Prince Regent to withhold his consent from the bill and to dissolve the parliament . This was carried up by the Lord Mayor , Aldermen and

The constitution leaves open to the people the donr of petitioning " , of which they will not fail to avail themselves , andd il will be seen whether the same House of Commons can continue to sit after so great a manifestation on the part of their constituents . The
