had been any thing in the Dukes conduct to
warrant the charge of "publc immortality"

protests against the Bill, could themselves
support that Bill, or br'ug IN Il Reform Bill, |
it would greatly oiicui public morality. -

and the making of them before he had the
opportunity OF being consituiiomaly heard

that, though opposed to the BIZ, he had ex-
pressed himself in favor of "a large measure
of reforms" as essential to the tranquility of
the country.
The Chancellor of the Excheoucr said Mr.

had 50 decidedly opposed reform were now
to take Office on the pledge of supporting
reform, it would be an extraordinary violation
of the public morality. The proposers of
the Bull though they were unable 10 carry
the Bill, would have the consolation of know
ing that they had made reform irrcsstibe-
Mr Duncombe said the runors were most ex-
