As to the second , the House of Common * was already sufBcjtentfy numerous , and Scotland could receive no accession : of members , except they were taken from English constituencies ,, which he hardly thought could be
seriously proposed . Besides , the relative position of England ! and- Scotland in this respect was * pretty much the sarae a * it stood at Che time of the Union . With' regard to the third—the restoration off Holy 1 - rooct ^—this could scarcely be an object to be brought unde 1 ! Parliamentary consideration as a national grieva-nde .

Altogether , he repeated , that die subjects brought under their lordahipa' notice could not be considered in the light of national' grievances ; and , having this conviction * he could not assent to the motion .
The Duke of Montkosb vindicated * the petition , particularly on the ground of the anomalous duties of tlie Lord-Advocate .
