Of January, 1895, Mr.. Giles and Or. Smith,
who had been appointed a comnntte, reported
in favour ofMr. Robettion5a Scotiipan, from

undertook for the reit of the fun. The de-
bates were to be printed fri inBrown's news

ofsMr Smith, in Operating Mir, Brown, and

The plan was attacked from every part of
the hohfe, as impraGticable, if uietul, and as
uieIeiS, if it could be practicable. Mr.. Bald
wiz tad that he had feen many printed fkctches
of fpeeChes made III that houfe, and which he
would not wifi 20 Zee better done. MIR.
Swanwiclc had often heard OF h;Grllanf0ss
competitions, but the hrangef OF all niicella
nirs that ne ever heard Of, was Tor the legiIla-
ture of 4 country to run flares with printer,
in the publication OF their proceedings. Even
MIR Sedgwick, ALTO, oppoled the plan. Hc

Mr. Giles fpoke in favour of the report;
but he icened TO lole courage, on finding that

proved Of the plan. He expreded regret at
having been concerned in II. As an execute,
he complained, for the tirit TING, Of the mac
curacy of the debates. He had never before
dropt hint OF that nature. The preiurnp-
ton is, that it was now brought forward 10

evident chagrin at finding himtetf entangled in
this prodigal and ablird protest. The con-
