In respect of counties, the bill proposes 10 es-

The Ministerial Reform bill was the PRINCIPAL
topic of discussion In the London journals
The Times thinks that the bill does not seem to
deserve the condemnation lavished upon it. There
| would, perhaps. be something like fairness in the
objection that the bill was a development of the
Reform Act; that il did not even profess to bring
that act up to the present day. that it left immense
anomalies not only uDamended, but even exagge.
