Mr. HUM E Would only say a few words ; indeed he would

towns in Scotland than those which the Hon. Gentleman had
alluded to, and he could state there were no individuals more
alive to their own interests than the gentlemen residing in
those two plaecs. He had been acquainted with them for
twelve yea s, and he could say, that keen as were the people
of North Britain, he would back the people of these towns
against any of them.
