the instruments to carry it into effect.—(Cheers.) The King
was responsible ; the House of Commons was responsible ;
why then should not the Lords be made responsible ?
(Cheers.) Was it consistent with the spirit of the constitu-
tion that they should remain irresponsible ? He thought not.
They had been told by Lord John Russell that such an or-
ganic change as the imposition of responsibility upon the
Peers would endanger the stability of the monarchy. When
the Noble Lord made that assertion, be (Mr. Hume) main-
tained that he took a narrow and mistaken view of the sub-
ject.—(Cheers.) In the nineteenth century it was impossible
that the Lords could long remain an irresponsiblq, 1- '

people would be satisfied with the partial measures they had
only as yet received.—(Hear, hear.) He (Mr. Hume)
quarrelled with the House of Lords as at present consti-
tuted in more ways than one. He quarrelled with them as
a court of justice. An appeal to the House of Lords was
a gross mockery. By whom was it heard ? By the Lord
Chancellor, who had previously determined the case ; by a
bishop, probably reading p, novel ; and by a peer sleeping on
one of the benches.—(Laughter and cheers.) This was
only a true picture, and one which did not unfrequently oc-
cur. It was time that such a mockery should be abolished.
—(Clieers.) The misrule of the Tories for the long period
they were in office, had placed almost every department of
the State in a situation requiring reform—(Cheers)—and he
held that he was the true friend of the people, and of the
' King, when he said that extensive reforms in those depart-
ments must soon be carried into effect. Commending the
electors of Bath for the excellent example they had set in
returning two Liberal Members to Parliament, and exhort-
ing them to continue in a course which they bad commenced
with so much honour to themselves, the Hon. Gentleman
concluded by expressing his heartfelt thanks for the honour
conferred upon him in drinking his health.
Several other toasts were drunk, and the hilarity of the
evening was continued till a late hour.
