The long Parliament az It was fscetiously termed

work examine and pass upon, If the makers name
stamped upon II Is known, they generally waive the

indulgence in turn
We're the amount of time which this Assembly
has already wasted by the reconsideration OF bills passed
hastily snd without due consideration devoted TO gen.
