S3V0117P0_326 | He (Lord Brougham) was not aware of the intention of his noble and learned Friend to bring the subject before their Lordships on Monday night, and therefore he was not prepared, in the statement he then had made, to sift his account of the working in Ireland of the Bill of the present Master of the Rolls, and to compare the provisions of that Bill with the provisions of the Bill which last Session he (Lord Brougham) had laid before their Lordships—which had found acceptance from their Lordships—which had passed through all its stages without any opposition whatever, except the doubts expressed by his most learned and able and much lamented Friend the late Master of the Rolls (Lord Langdale), which doubts upon further consideration had been so far removed, that he bad waived any objection to the measure: so that having passed through that House without any opposition, it went to the other House of Parliament, where it was dropped from; accidental circumstances, such, he presumed, as existed at a late period of the Session. | 1850 | null | 136,396 |

S3V0069P0_2300 | Gentleman at the head of her Majesty's Government, I cannot but view it as among the causes that have the most materially strengthened the hands of the agitators of that question, that by the regulations of the National Board, the education and training of the great mass of the Irish population has for many years been, and still continues, to the practical exclusion of the Clergy of the Established Church, the natural friends of British connection, entrusted to the Roman Catholic Clergy who are, as your Lordships' are now well aware, the active promoters of the Repeal movement. | 1840 | null | 327,907 |

S3V0085P0_803 | In so doing, they had no doubt taken a part which had led to the destruction of life; but, putting out of the question those stories (concerning which he had not one particle of information) respecting advertising rewards for living captives or the heads of the slain, he did not see anything so bad in the efforts of the peasantry to support a Government under which they had received signal advantages and benefits. | 1840 | null | 591,326 |

S3V0062P0_17120 | Why, then, should the House be called upon to impose this obnoxious Income-tax upon traders and others, and thereby twice to tax personal property, when so just a tax as one on real property by descent, was capable of realising the total amount of the deficiency complained of? | 1840 | null | 201,828 |

S3V0181P0_597 | I am far from contending that these arguments are without weight, or that there is no truth in the statements on which they rest; but it does not follow, because there is a certain amount of good mixed up with the gross abuses which now prevail, that we ought contentedly to allow these abuses to flourish. | 1860 | null | 596,151 |
S3V0123P0_4059 | It was stated, by a high authority, that more real practical business was done by that House on the Wednesdays than on any of the other days of the week. | 1850 | null | 237,902 |

S4V0048P0_661 | Many members of the Church of England think that, having regard to the tender age at which children are taught in elementary schools, and the very limited time given to teaching religion in the day school, the simpler the teaching is made the more likely it is to have effect; and if the teaching is confined to the simple elements on which all Christians are agreed, more good will be done than by trying to make little Churchmen or dissenters of them. | 1890 | 1897-03-30 | 1,058,706 |

S3V0174P0_20093 | No doubt the demands that were made by Mr. Clare were extravagant, and his manner of supporting them eccentric, and this might have had an effect upon the Judge, whose summing up was more like the impassioned argument of an interested counsel than the calm deliberation of an impartial Judge. | 1860 | null | 438,326 |
S3V0240P0_19344 | The practice which has prevailed has been to move to reduce a Vote by a reasonable amount. | 1870 | null | 967,675 |

S3V0204P0_16447 | The principal alterations made were due to a compromise which had been made. | 1870 | null | 144,701 |
