difficult to create fictitious votes. With regard to the bonnets '
he has made what I conceive to be a very great imgrovement in

which is • very unotirtain sad =saddlery test at all
°opinions, became it varies so much, he is willing to give to

is net the franchise which I was ready to propose, but still Is
weak very unfair to depreciate the offer that has been
seas, sad to say that it is not very such 'advance of every
sir that has been previously made by any statesman in the
poltlon at Lord John Resell. (Hess.) If such • bill as that
were introduced it would of course he open far every men who
thought that • further extension was dutiable to propose
such change as he thought poper—br damps the daises
that I have introduced into my bill, or any other clauses that
might carry out his view—ad I should be extremely glad if
a majority of parliament would etre* to soar further exten-
sion; at the same time, I think it would be =just to Lord
Jobs Russell, and unfair to the questiou, if we were to per-
suade ourselves, or to endeavour to persuade others, that that
propeition would not be an infinitely better proposition for
the oranon than half • bustled of those fancy fending
about which so murk has been said, (Cheers.) 'There Is •
conridereble section of the House of Commons who ire very
couch disposed to follow the leading of Lord John Russell
with regard to tide question. I am lorry to say he
has differed from them on the quenvn of the
