Rushing" the Lords.

From the London Chronicle
In former times one might have trust
ed the people to make ..scenes' before.
during and after the momentous deci..
lon OF the lords. Especially the Irish
people. In 175s. for instance. a report
That the Dublin parliament was about
to pass an act of union set the green
on fire. The anti-uniOnists seized the
members on their way to the houses
and made them take an oath Ito be true
10 Ireland and to vote against the
union. Nothing was left to chance.
The lord chancellor was made to swear,
in the presence of the lord chief Justice.
and the lord chief justice in the pres
ence Of the chancellor. The lord chief
justice was then detained to act as wit
ness to the taking Of the oath by other
peers and members. Those peers who
we're known to be in favor Of the union
were rolled in the gutter. Finally the
house of lords was rushed. and an aged
lady with n clay pipe in her mouth was
Installed on the woolsack.
