his clients at a meeting fortnight ago the misfor-
tunes he had endured with the Women's Suffrage
bill and his still surviving hopes, has at last had
to withdraw it, Mr. Forsyth, being a new and per

man TO have charge of measure which was sure to

oldest stager to get day for a private bill. and
vote on it. Mr.. Forsyth found some of the ways of
the House very dark. must not say that anybody
plays tricks there, but if they did they were not

times Mr.. Forsyth thought he had got chance for
his bill and how many times he found it was the
bill of some smarter, or Jealous, champion of
some other idea which came instead The most
that could be done was to drop tear over the
measure of this session and promise to bring In
