to his being the colleague—hero proud to add, the Mond—
e( their late diergiushed repreeentatiee. (Loud cheers.)
To do his distinguished friend honour was the object of their
meeting, and anything beyond that would, in his opinion,
be out of place. (Cheers.) He need not remind them of his
distigktish:l friend's qualities as an advocate, or ...mem-
ber of the House of Commons, but he had now left both
bar and senate sad his eloquence would no longer serve him.
It was not deviling brilliancy that would do the duty he had
to perform, and if that brilliancy were bis only quality ha
