CHAPTER IV
12/124

Not fewer than three hundred and ten were presented from England; one hundred and eighty-seven from Scotland; and twenty from Wales.
Two other petitions also for the abolition came from England, but they were too late for delivery.

On the other side of the question, one was presented from the town of Reading for regulation, in opposition to that for abolition from the same place.

There were also four against abolition.

The first of these was from certain persons at Derby in opposition to the other from that town.

The second was from Stephen Fuller, esquire, as agent for Jamaica.
