Tor fortnight longer was proposed by nj
nisters, ia consequence of the favorable
statements of the physicians, and carried in
Doth houses by a majority. though not with
out an animated opposition. In the uppe
mouse earl Spencer moved AS an amendment
that "a select committee be appointed to
receive the report of the physicians" as had
beeu done in 1888. This was supported by
lord Grenviile in speech fraught VITA
constitutional truth, which cannot fail 10
make deep impression upon the county,

mendment similar to that proposed by earl
Spencer, which was lost by majority of oS.
