stood the question, and replied that the

was there. Il called for Goldfish and

ENGLAND has no standing army. 1t
is declared each''y year by Parliament,
in the Mutiny act, that tho keeping of
standing army is contrary to law and
to the constitution of the Empire. For
this reason Parliament makes yearly
provision for an army (supposed to be
militia), not only for its support and
maintenance, but also for its allegi.
ance. At the end of the year, with
out tho passage of this act, all official
authority would end, all tho enlist
ments would be vacated and the army
would be dissolved. It was the House
of Commons postponement of the pas
sage of the Mutiny act, in its last dead
lock with the Lords, that brought the
Peers to their senses.
