/ The "cOstermonger peer" has long been

a hereditary body of lawmakers, for
/ Ailesbury might at one time have en-

/ the lords, and indeed had threatened to
take his place among them in his coster' S
frock, a threat which held the house in
terror for years. If his life serves as a
moral lesson to the electors of Great
Britain it will be the only value it has
