Han som, the eminent British architect, and improved hi s o h - servation by inspecting the best specimens of church archi tecture in classic lands, has determined to commence his profession in Dublin as an architect. No one will dissent from the opinion that it is most creditable to the good sense of the young gentleman that he desires to dev o t e hi s act i ve and- intelligent mind to practically useful objects, although possessing an independent patrimony. Mr. O'Connell fills this year the office of High Sheriff of his native county Of Kerry. THE HEIGHT OF MODESTY.—NapIes, desiring to be free, asks a Constitution "like that of France 1" .Pumh. THE SUN,' LONDON, FRIDAY. EVgNING, JUNE 22, 1860. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF COMMONS.--(THIS DAY.) The SPEAKER took the chair shortly after 12 o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The North British and Peebles and Jedburgh Rail way Companies Bill and the Sovereign Life Assurance Company Bill were considered and ordered for third read ing. _ _ The foll.wing bills were read a third time and passed : Auchterarder Common Muir; North British Insurance Company ; Portadown, Dungannon, and Omagh Junction Railway ; Symington, Biggar, and Broughton Railway ; Hayling Railways ; Mid Sussex and Midhurst Junction Railway Deviation; and Petersfield Railway. MINES REGULATION AND INSPECTION BILL. The house went into committee on this bill, and resumed at clause 2. STATIONS OF THE ROYAL NAVY IN COMMISSION: Mr. KINNAIRD said that on the last occasion the bill was discussed he proposed an amendment to reduce the labour of children to eight hours, but from some statements he had heard, he was induced not to adhere to that term of employment. He would therefore alter his amendment, and move that in page 2, line 10, after " colliery," that there be inserted " for any hours not exceeding 10 hours per diem." Sir G. C. LEWIS said that the principle of a limitation of the hours of labour for children employed in mines had been already affirmed, though the number of hours of em- Floyment had not been determined. There were 12 inspec tors of mines, whose mission was to protect the public and to regard with favourable eyes what related to the condition of those employed in mines, and 11 out of these had re ported against an alteration in the present hours of labour. Mr. LIDDELL considered that it would be impossible to regulate the labour of boys in mines without affecting injuriously the labour of adults. Juvenile labour in mines was neither uninterrupted nor severe, and any interference with it would be most prejudicial. Mr. AYRTON said it had not been shown that the alteration in the hours of labour was practically impossible, and that term meant no more than that it might affect coal owners, for it was a mere question of money. The same objections that had been advanced with reference to the question had been fully discussed when the subject of labour in factories was before the house. The same threats and warnings that were then made were identical with those now used, but experience had shown that these were the idle fears arising out of the prejudices of mill owners, who had been brought up under, and practised, a particular system. No person had yet demonstrated that the labour of children in mines could not be reduced to 10 hours, and he called on the house, in the name of humanity, to agree to the amendment. Mr. TAYLOR supported the amendment.

Mr. CLIVE said, if he had been convinced by the argile ment of the hon. member (Mr. Ayrton), he would veto for the amendment, but he considered that the report of the inspectors of mines was conclusive on the subject, and it must be remembered that these inspectors were the friends of the labouring class employed in mines. Mr. J. LOCKE considered that the question had been shirked by the opponents of the amendment, and contended that the testimony of mine inspectors was not sufficient to prove there was no inhumanity in compelling children of tender years to work under ground for an indefinite num ber of hours day after day. He supported the amendment. Sir H. 'VERNEY said that he felt bound to vote in favour of the amendment. Mr. CAYLEY said he was informed by a miner that in the mine where he first worked there were 40 boys em ployed, not one of whom was now living, and in the second mine, out of 37 boys there wore only three living. Mr. BRUCE asserted that the sanitary state of the Inlisee and these employed in them had been misrepresented, and opposed the amendment. Mr. KINNAIRD replied, and some further discussion ensued. The house then divided, and the numbers were— For the amendment 6l Against Majority —lB The amendment was accordingly negatived. Lord LOVAINE moved an amendment to the effect that for the first six months after the Ist of next year boys under ten years of age should be admitted to work in mines with out a certificate of their ability to read or write. ranean.

(Before Mr. Justice Hill and a Special Jury.) STONE V. LORD LLANOVER.-LIBEL. The learned Judge said, before this painful case pro coeded any further, he wished to ask Mr. James whether he entertained any hope that the jury would return a ver. diet in his favour after the distinct denials made by the plaintiff and the witness Harrison. Mr. Edwin James said the case had had his and his learned friend's most earnest and careful consideration, and he felt it right to take the responsibility on himself, and he did so with the concurrence of the noble defendant, of withdrawing the pleas of justification. There could be no doubt the plaintiff had been guilty of acts of indiscretion which thoroughly justified the defendant in the course he had taken. He would, therefore, withdraw the plea, and the jury would be relieved from delivering a verdict. Sir Fitzroy Kelly, on the part of the plaintiff, in assent ing to the course, said he felt bound to state that he and his friends who had been in consultation with the plaintiti be lieve that he was entirely innocent of the charges preferred against him, at the same time he must say he had been guilty of acts of such a grave character that justified many of the rumours that prevailed, and the noble defendant was not at all to be blamed, from his position in society, for pursuing the course he had done. Lord Llanover being sworn, entered into a long statement as to the circumstance that had brought him into this matter. His statement wag to the effect that he lived at Llanover, in Monmouth, and had a married daughter, Mrs. Herbert, residing near them. In 1858 he had a letter from his brother in Bath, casually mentioning that there were some unpleasant rumours at Bath relative to Mr. Stone ; subsequent letters disclosed what those rumours were. In 1859 he fOund on his return from Germany that Mr. Stone had taken a place, Llangsdard, which was about midway between his residence and his daughter's, Mr. Stone being introduced to that part of the coun try by a lady and gentleman highly respected, Mr. and Mrs. Jones. His lordship again wrote to his brother recal ling to his mind the rumours as to Mr. Stone, and, in reply, his brother said that inquiries had been made as to them at Bath and the result was unsatisfactory. Mr. Stone attended the archery meeting, and on being introduced by Mr. Jones, his lordship mentioned what he had heard to Mr. Herbert and Capt. Stretton, and it Was agreed Mr. Jones ought to be seen on the subject, and that was done ; his lordship on every occasion asserting he did not wish t- be Mr. Stone's accuser, for the matter was far too serious. Regarding it as such, he took the grew est care of the letters from his bro ther that they should fall into no other hands ; even the copy he sent of one to his son-in•law. He requested him to re turn it, which he did. His only object was to get the matter cleared up that they might know whether Mr. Stone, who had come to reside amongst them, was a person fit to be associated with or not. On the 6th of September Mr. Scroop saw Lord Llanover, and having had some conversation on the subject with his lordship said, as he had done on pre ' vious occasions, that Mr. Stone ought to have prosecuted the first parties who made the charge. In reply to Mr. James, his lordship added he had not the slightest ill .will towards Mr. Stone, and he had left him self in this matter entirely in the hands of his counsel. Sir Fitzroy Kelly said he would not ask the noble lord one question. Ho was convinced of the blamelessness of his client, but he did not hesitate to admit that his lordship was perfectly justified, nay more, called on to take the steps he did take when the rumours reached him, affecting, as they did, those by whom he was surrounded. Having stated that, he had only to say, in great sincerity, that if he had stated anything in his address calculated to raise a ground of displeasure to his lordship, he now most gladly withdrew it. Lord Llanover assured the learned counsel he had said nothing which could be considered offensive to him in ad dressing the court. The learned Judge said he was happy that this inquiry was terminated. The pleas and the charges therein con tained were withdrawn, removing the imputation from Mr. Stone, and he thought the conduct of Lord Llanover in the matter was perfectly becoming his position, and he was en tirely blameless. The jury were then discharged without giving a verdict. The model of the statue of Handel, which has recently been erected at Halle, by Heidel, the sculptor, of Berlin, was submitted to the inspection of the Prince Con sort yestei day morning, at Buckingham Palace, by Sir George Smart, the President, and Mr. Klingermann, the Secretary to the London Committee of the Handel Statute. THE WEATHER. —Reports from twenty-five Bri tish towns were received last night. There was rain at only two—Cowes and Falmouth. At Weymouth there was much wind ; at Berwick and Sunderland fog, From eight towns the report is "dull" or "cloudy," from the remaining twelve 4 ‘ fine ho DR A-- A IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

Ile Marquis of NORMANBY said he wished to ask a question with respect to the demand made by Mr. Elliot to the Neapolitan Government with respect to the restora tion of the two ships seized freighted with armed men whose intention was to join the movement going on in Sicily. He should like to know whether Mr. Elliot had interfered at all, and, if so, on what grounds. Earl GRANVILLE said her Majesty's Government had no information on the subject other than that conveyed in the telegram which had appeared in the newspapers. Lord BROUGHAM said he hoped the report that Austria had forwarded soldiers to assist the tyrant of Naples would also turn out to be fallacious. COUNCILLORS OF BURGHS (SCOTLAND) BILL. This bill was read a second time. CHURCH TEMPORALITIES (IRELAND) AMEND MENTS BILL. The report of the amendments on this bill was brought up and received. PLEA ON INDICTMENT BILL. Lord BROUGHAM moved the second reading of this bill, which was founded on the petition of the Metropolitan and Provincial Law Societies, and it was approved by the re corders and chairmen of quarter sessions generally. The object of the bill was to substitute for the plea of guility or not guilty the following question, which was to be put to the prisoner, namely, "Do you wish to be tried, or are you guilty ?" The LORD CHANCELLOR approved of the measure. The bill was read a second time. ADULTERATION OF FOOD BILL. This bill passed through committee. FISHERIES (SCOTLAND) BILL. The report on this bill was received and certain amend ments agreed to. Their lordships then adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—(YESTERDAY.) The SPEAKER took the chair at 4 o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. Th 9 following bills were read a third time and passed : Caithness Roads, Dublin and Drogheda Railway, Egham and Woking Railway, Great Northern and' Metropolitan Junction Railway, London Railway Depot and Storehouses, Morayshire Railway, North British Railway (Stations, &c.), and Waveney Valley Railway. PETITIONS. Petitions were presentedagainstthe provision in the Cen sus Act relative to enforcing a declaration of religious pro fession; against Sunday trading, from Edinburgh and other places ; against the alleged undue assumption of power by the House of Lords in rejecting the bill for the repeal of the paper duty ; against the Highways Bill ; against the Metropolitan Local Amendment Act, &c. RESTORATION OF PARLIAMENT TO IRELAND. The O'DONOGHUE presented a petition from the in habitants of the borough and town of Youghal, praying for the restoration of a separate Parliament to Ireland. The hon. member read extracts from the petition, which set forth that the threatened famine in Ireland caused less in terest in the minds of the legislative rulers of the country than the condition of the most remote dependency of the Crown ; that £10,000,000 were extracted annually from Ireland, and that country was required to con tribute towards the prosecution of wars in which she had no interest; that £5,000,000 were spent out of the country by absentee landlords, and that the only chance for the recovery of the prosperity of Ireland was in a native Parliament. THE HOUSE OF LORDS AND THE PAPER DUTY Mr. T. DUNCOMBE said he had to present a petition or rather remonstrance, from . parties assembled at a public meeting held in the borough of Finsbury, against the course which the House of Commons had adopted in appointing a committee to search for precedents on the subject of taxa tion bills instead of taking a more direct step. The hon. member moved that the petition be read by the Clerk at the table. Sir W. MILES—What is the prayer? The CLEM( then commenced reading the petition. "To the Honourable the Commons of the United Kingdom in Parliament assembled ; fae respectful remonstrance of the undersigned." (Order, order). Mr. DISRAELI—I rise to order, sir. I conclude it is against our order that, instead of a form of petition praying for anything, a remonstrance should be addressed to this house. I believe that to be an irregular proceedihg. (Hear.) The SPEAKER—I understand that it concludes with a prayer. _ Mr. DISRAELI—Then, I put it to you, sir, whether a prayer can be received which comes in the shape of a re monstrance ? (Hear.) The SPEAKER—I believe there are precedents for the case now before the house, and that when a petition concludes with a prayer, properly and respectfully worded, the house does receive it. (Hear.) The Clerk then proceeded with the reading of the peti tion : " Showeth— " That from time immemorial it has been the right of the British people to be taxed only with their own con sent, and by and trough their own representatives. That the non-assent of the Lords to the abolition of a tax, which the Crown no longer required snd the Commons had deter mined should no longer be imposed, is in direct contraven tion of that right, and is in effect a re-impooition of that tax by the sole authority of the House of Lords. That the imposition of taxes on the sole authority of the Lords is a thing wholly without precedent in the history of this coun try—is in direct and flagrant violation of the laws of the calm as inscribed on the rolls of Parliament for ages past, and tends to a total overthrow of the British constitution. " That, in circumstances of such gravi•y—a revolution by the single vote of one estate of the realm, already an accom plished fact—prompt and determined action on the part of the House of Commons became an imperative necessity, and preliminary investigations into precedents and cases, a needless waste of time and a perilous postponement of a vital question, inasmuch as no precedents or cases, how ever numerous or authentic, can have any force or effect whatever as against positive laws and the fundamental principles of the constitution. " We, therefore, pray that your honourable house will no longer thus trifle with the just expectations of the people, but will forthwith assert and vindicate the law, and restore the constitution, by the immediate adoption of such measures as shall compel the Lords to withdraw their ille gal opposition to the abolition of the said tax, or enable your honourable house effectually to abolish: it without their concurrence." MILITIA. Mr. ALCOCK moved an address for a return of the full quota of each regiment of militia; the number of men en rolled in each regiment at the time it was called out for training this year; the number of men actually present at the training; the number whose absEnce is accounted for by death, illness, or the expiring term of enlistment. The return was ordered. CONSTABULARY FORCE (IRELAND) Mr. DAWSON moved for a return of the number of county inspectors, sub-inspectors, head and other consta bles, by their respective ranks ; of the relative num ber of the different religious denominations, classed into Protestants and Roman Catholics, at present in the force ; of the salaries by the year of county inspectors, with their allowance of long service pay ; allowance of extra pay and mileage when out on duty ; allowance in lieu of forage for their horses; also the salaries paid to their private servants, and other details in connection with the force in question. DEFENCE OF PORTSMOUTH. Lord W. GRAHAM asked the Secretary of State for War, whether he could afford any explanation of the state ment he made, that no plan for the defence of Portsmouth, except the Duke of Richmond's, existed at the time the Government land at Portsmouth was sold for £B,OOO, see ing, that in the appendix to the report of the Defence Com • mission it is stated that a committee which sat on this sub ject in 1804, recommended a plan for the defence of Ports- mouth, at an expense of L 712,000, which included four bat. teries at Stokes Bay. Mr. S. HERBERT said the fact was that plans had been laid before Government from time to time, but they were not officially adopted, and therefore could not be acted on. CONTRACTS FOR CANNON. Sii DE LACY EVANS asked the Secretary of State for War what was the extent of the contract alleged to have been extend into by the War Department with the Low Moor Foundry Company for cannon of large calibre, which on trial had been found to burst in several instances ; and whether any questions of dispute existed between the Go vernment and the Low Moor Company in regard to this contract ? Mr. S. HERBERT said that the War Department had entered into a contract with the company alluded to for the supply of a certain quantity of iron for the manufacture of cannon. That iron had been supplied, and there was no ground for complaint against the company, who had exe cuted the contract in the most satisfactory manner. It was true that five of the cannons had burst, and it was consi dered advisable to suspend the construction of any more for the present. LICENSES IN SCOTLAND. Mr. FINLAY asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department, if he had any objections to lay upon the table of the house, with as little delay as possible, that part of the report of the commissioners appointed to inquire into the operation of the licensing system in Scotland which had been received by the Government. Sir G. C. LEWIS said that the report to which the hon. member referred to had been laid on the • able, and presented to both Houses of Parliament on the 11th of the present month. FISHERIES IN IRELAND. Mr. CONOLLY gave notice that, in going into corn he would draw the att ent i on of the h ouse mitts of supply, o the interference by the Ordnance with the fisheries in [reland. IRISH BILLS. In reply to an Hox. MEMBER, Mr. CARDWELL said that if the adjourned debate were over early, he proposed to proceed this evening with the Poor Relief (Ireland) Bill, and the County Prisons (Ire land) Bill. SAVOY AND NICE. Sir R. PEEL—I really must complain of the disgracernl way in which the Government is shirking the responsibility attaching to them on foreign questions. The noble lord the Secretary for Foreign Affairs said the other evening t hat he would give an answer respecting the despatch from M. Thouvenel, but neither the Foreign Secretary nor yet the Prime Minister is in his place to answer the question of which the hon. baronet the member for Carlow gave notice. This is really a very lax and improper way to treat the House of Commons and the public on subjects of immense importance. (Hear, hear.) The Government seems to think that because the Emperor Louis Napoleon has chosen, in spite of the most solemn engagements, to annex the pm. vinces of Nice and Savoy, the ruatt..r is at an end. But wish to know from some member on the Treasury bench when we may export to hear some expression of opinion from the Minister for Foreign Affairs or the noble lord at the head of the Government, because I happen to know that a despatch has been received, and the noble lord dis tinctly stated that he would to-night give some assurance respecting its contents. Sir G. C. LEWIS—What I understood my noble friend the Foreign Secretary to say was that when the despatch was received he would communicate its contents to the house. lam not aware that the despatch has been received, and therefore I do not see that he could have been expected to attend merely on the chance that my hon. friend, or some other person, would put a question, of which no notice what ever has been given, on a subject of such great importance. I really do think the severe censure which my hon. friend has bestowed on the noble lord at the head of the Govern ment and the noble lord the Secretary fer Foreign Affairs has been, quite undeserved. Sir R. PEEL—Allow me to explain. The noble lord said distinctly he was expecting an answer from M. Thou venel, and in this day's paper it is stated—(" Order Sir John Acton has given notice of a motion, and has been treated in the same way. It is really too bad ; the thing has occurred 20 times. Lord J. MANNERS—The right hon. gentleman is in error in supposing that no notice was given to the noble lord. (Hear.) The hon. member for Carlow placed on the paper a question which he wished to address to the Foreign Secretary. Sir G. G. LEWIS—What I said was that no notice of this question was given to the Secretary for Foreign Affairs. Sir R. PEEL—The other day I gave notice. Sir G. C. LEWIS—I am quite aware that notice of a question on a different subject has been given ; but the com plaint made was that the noble lord is not here to answer the question put by the hon. member. EUROPEAN FORCES (INDIA). The adjourned debate on this question was resumed by Lord STANLEY, who said, in rising to speak on the subject of the Indian army, I would, in the first place, as sure the house, and it is certainly not necessary for me to assure my right hon. friend the Secretary of State for India, that nothing is further from my ideas, or, I hope, the habits of my political life, than to come forward in op position to a measure proposed by the Government simply because I happen to sit on this side of the house—(cheers) —or because the plan which he has introduced is different in many respects from that which I myself intended 12 mouths ago to propose. I know, probably better than most members of this house, what are the difficulties of Indian administration in the present day ; and I know also how great is the intricacy and perplexity of this particular ques tion, involving as it does a vast variety of consi lerationf , , both political and military. And I will readily r.d mit, also, that, although the permanent interest affor,ted and the principles involved are the same new as they were at the time when I was responsible for the conduct of Indian affairs, still, as far as the immediate facility of dealing with this question is concerned, the events of the last twelve months have made some difference. Hold ing that opinion, if I could have agreed—if I could even have acquiesced in the principle of the bill which my right hon. friend has introduced, I certainly should not have been withheld from doing so by any wish to maintain appearance of consistency with the opi nions which I endeavoured to promote last year; the only consistency in such a case that I should value would be a consistent determination at every time to do that which, under the circumstances of the moment, was most for the interests of the empire. (Hear.) But, having been for some months responsible for the settlement of this question, hav ing been a member of the Indian Army Commission of 1858, having during the last two or three years ascertained either orally or from written documents what is the opinion of almost all those who are competent to form a judgment, I think it would be not merely showing a want of earnestness and candour, but it would be an act of political cowardice in me if I were now from any motive whatever to hesitate to express the opinions which I honestly entertain (Hear.) I do not think it is an unreasonable proceeding to support an opinion which I formed on taking office, and which in office I endeavoured to carry out, and I do not think it is unrea sonable to endeavour at least to secure in this house a fair and full consideration for opinions which are entertained by the Governor-General of India, and by men so conversant with Indian affairs as Sir J. Lawrence, and Sir J. Outram, and which are shared in by the whole of the permanent In dian Administration in this country. (Hear.) Before I en deavour to state what this question is, perhaps the house will allow me to mention in a few words what it is not, and what it is popularly supposed to be. My right hon. friend, while admitting for him the unpleasant fact that the members of his council were unanimous in their oppo sition to this plan, threw out a hint that it was not within their department. Ido not quite understand the meaning of that phrase as applied to the Council for India, be cause they have no power in connection with military ad ministration, except that of giving advice to the Secre tary of State, which he may either take or reject. But, whatever may be the meaning of my right hon. friend, it is undoubtedly an idea commonly entertained out of doors as well as to some extent in this house, that the point at issue in dealing with this question is a contest be tween the Military Department and the Indian Adminis tration, in which the subject of patronage is involved. Now, this is, in my opinion, entirely a mistake. The question of patronage and that of organization are altogether distinct, and if the house should think it desirable that that which was recommended in the first instance by Sir J. Lawrence, and which subsequently received the sanction of the noble lord the Secretary for Foreign Affairs in a debate in this house two years ago—namely, to open altogether to com petition first, appointments in those local India regiments —should be carried into effect, the proposition is one which it appears to me might just as easily be acted upon, even though no change in the organization of the Indian army took place; as if the plan for amalgamation were realized. If, upon the other hand, the house should, upon grounds of general policy, deem it expedient that the two armies should be amalgamated, and should be of opinion that, considering the Indian Administration pays for the maintenance of the existing local troops, it ought to have some voice in the first instance, in the appointment of officers, it would be quite easy to retain the patronage of which I am speaking in the hands in which it is at present placed, while in all other respects the fusion of the local with the Queen's troops might be complete. I am not recommending that plan, although I believe it has been entertained. All I would add with reference to the question of patronage and amal gamation is that, whatever opinion may have been pro nounced with respect to it by the Indian authorities, that opinion is one which is wholly free front all suspicion of being dictated by personal motives. (Hear, hear.) I have alluded to one of the prejudices which exist on this subject, but there is a second—for I cannot call it anything else but a prejudice—which is sometimes openly put for ward, but which more frequently underlies men's thoughts than it appears upon the surface, and which is in favour of the maintenance of a single as opposed to a double army. We are repeatedly told that it is an " anomaly"—that is the word used—to keep up a separate military orga niza+ion under the same power, and subject to the same authority, on the part of Parliament. We in England, however, are broken in to anomalies, whether we like there or not ; but, if there be any anomaly in the case, it is not the maintenance in India of a specially Indian army, but our tenure of India itself. In the present instance, how ever, the house must bear in niud that we have no prece dent and no parallel to guide us. You cannot reason from the case of a colony as to the decision at which you ought to arrive ; for India is not a colony in the ordinary sense of t p h r e ev w in o e r e d . ; i l t t is m n a o y t maesreettalpepmreenptri;atiet.iyc_aune dheasridgnlya own I law am laws, bteedcanalleedma paNivrearienhitasselhf,eeanitheaoyllhedthate. aplpnedlila sse i s at p w e ns s o e ne which r s he her ownfinances, and her own sy stem of civil administration. She maintains an armed force numbering no less th an 300,000 m , n, and of t wo anomalies it is surely the less that that force should stand apart than that it sho u ld b e made a p or tion of another force , which is separated from it by a distance of half the globe, and which in point of number is greatly inferior. Now, the plan whi c h my right hon. friend proposesits simplest p ut f t e h r e m issue and o nß ot h f i a sr, questionno doubt,o famalgamation mayb econ veniently in discussed by th e h ouse. This disadvantage, how ever, attends upon the proposal of my right hon. friend,. that we have not b e f ore us—at least not in a shape w hi c h . .would enable us t o come to any decision w i t h respec t t o A T -the scheme by which he proposes to carry his object into effect. (Hear, hear.) He asks us simply to declare that no further recruiting shall take place for the local army in India a proposition which is almost equivalent to an abstract resolution that the main tenance of such army is inexpedient. But, while my right hon. friend asks us to pledge ourselves to that extent, ho dues not call upon us to come to a decision as to what we are to substitute for the existing system. (Hear, hear.) If we take the plan of amalgamation proposed by Sir W. Mans field, or any other person conversant with the subject, ant endeavour to point out the difficulties inherent in io, my right hon. friend would very fairly tell us that that was not his scheme. *Well, wo ask you, what is your scheme ? My right hon. friend answers,---‘ , I am not calling lap= you to decide ur on the details of any scheme ; all I seek at you r hands, is to a Lynn the principle, that a local apaly i n India
