Commenting upon the "Derby Ministry"
the London Examiner thus dscources:
II is n mauraiSe p'diSg,icric, plagiarism
from Punch, copy Of squih on the abor.
tive attempt of last year. The names, with
an exception here and there, cannot hc read

ordinary fact that Col. Sihihrop and Mr..
Spooner are not included in the arrange
