Hi: A contributor to GENUKI/Devon has recently sent me details of a short entry: > Great Britain House of Lords. (1833). Journals of the House of Lords, Vol. > 65. page 223. (a volume that is available online in Google Books), which refers to a "petition by Members of the Farmers Society in the Parishes of Hemyock, Culmstock and Clayhidon in the County of Devon". The entry ends: "It is Ordered that the said Petition do lie on the Table". There are in fact many entries like this referring to various petitions, from various parts of the country. I was wondering if such petitions were ever retained, and are now accessible - and if so how to find them.

Brian, My guess is that they are in the House of Lords Records Office.
