1st March,
1784. — A petition of the gentlemen, clergy, and freeholders of the
county of Carlow, was presented to the house, and read, setting forth,
that the petitioners, sensible of the excellence of our original
constitution, wish to have it restored to its genuine principles. That
the petitioners, with concern observe that the people are not at present
adequately represented; that the majority of the present house of
commons are 'returned by a few interested individuals, and therefore
cannot be said to speak the voice of the people ; and that the trust
which electors repose in their representatives- is of the utmost
importance, and ought frequently to revert to its original owners. That
a reform of the parliamentary representation would add lustre and
dignity to the crown, secure the happiness and prosperity of the people,
and invigorate the trade and manufactures of this kingdom: and therefore
praying the house will take these things into serious consideration, and
pass such laws as shall appear adequate to remedy the grievances
complained of.
