Special Parliamentary reporters describe the House of Lords on May 4 as petitions on Catholic reforms are debated. Lord Caernarvon votes for the petition while clergy issues and Emancipation petitions surface. In the Commons Mr. Ley presents a bill to test the merits of the Provisional Veto and several members are named in the bar list. The session adjourns with further petitions expected.
