The LORD QHANCELLOR—My Lords, ten days ago, I
believe, this-House possessed the good opinion of the Public,
as the mediator between them.and the' laws of the country.
If this Bill pass to-night, I hope in God that this House may
still have that good opinion ten days hence. But to say the
best of this measure, it is neither more nor less than a legal
robbery; so help me God. I have but a short time to remain
with you, but I trust it will be hereafter known that I did not
lend my assistance to this Act, but used every means in my
power to piiTent its passing into a law.
Several verbal amendments having been made in the preamble,
Lord ELLENBOROUGH. roved that this Bill do pass.
The House divided.
