House Of Commons, which prohibits quot
ing IN debate on speeches made in either
house in previous debates Of the same ses-
sion as official reports Of speeches are un-
attainable, whilst newspaper reports are
not always accurate. II Earl Granville
wished to reply TO my speech with regard
to the received notions Of ordinary parlia-
mentaTy fair play he might have in
structed Lord Edmund Fitzmaurice 10
take advantage OF Mondays debate In the
House of Commons TO correct what he as
sumes TO be my errors.
LORD FITZAIAURICE's ABILITY.
''Lord Edmund Fitzmaurice is certainly
not inferior TO Earl Granville in intelli-
gence, and might have been trusted to
that extent, or Earl Granville might have
given me notice, when could have asked
some friend IN the House of Lords to re-
ply IN my behalf. These two courses,

Pray allow me through your columns to
deal with this unhappy man, Lord Ran
dolph then goes on to refute In detail Earl
GranVille's charges Of inaccuracy.
