debate in, the House of Commons, observes—" It drat

which some cross firing at Ministers bad been expecte,
was a failure in this, as in all other particulars ; and.lo
Lefroy's was material only as a correction of 'misstatement:,

complete success by a plain statement of the truth. Lora
Morpeth, adverting to the length of the amendment, de:
scribed it as an Alexandrine that drags its slow length
along.' If the qualifications of slowness and length I?,
sufficient, the speech of the Noble Lord liiimself is vio'
entitled to the same poetical denomination."
