4, of Midlothian.
/ ,..>~r yvsx-In consequence OF the de-
,a the bill for the better government
T..l,nd the ministry was advised and
Majesty was pleased to sanction the
,,Ir,;op Of Parliament for q decision by
: rs,iop of the gravest and likewise the
rDIs., issue that has bsen submitted to
-, half a century. Ii is only sense Of
H. gravity OF this issue which induces me
4 ns,iod of life when nature cries aloud

IN THE FOREGROUND

T. n,onosal Of coercion vas not Justified
