appoirted without any power to suggest a numb fdr she
gross anomalies which give to many of our so called
boroughs an extension which makes Awn
sized counties, but with directions to exteLt the'
limits of s boroughs of which the suburb 4, or neigh-
bouring towns, were beyond the present parliamentary
boundaries. and thus formed part of the county con-
stituencies. With these definite instructiocs, it was a
mere show of impartiality which led to the no.ulant!ra of
two very moderate whip to take away the tory lt.ivefir
from the commission. It was inevitable that fib untying
ant the instructions it should excise • liberal tie:Oelt
from many counties. In this way it roust help to mill
Mr. Disraeli's party in the next parliament by, a n9+3 et
which that ingenious gentleman had time after lime •
demanded the adoption. It is for the !rouse of Castanas
to-morrow to determine whether it will endorse tbis
" cooking " of the constituencies. t
