het titted to originate and the Lords to revise measures,
skit he could not but complain of the mode in which bias
sot from their lort.hips had been treated in the lower
lease Ttia ros4tt was legislative confusion, and the
niseessotv of abandoning a number of measures at the
obese of every sranon. He did not venture to propose a
