of the late Lord Salisbury, said the
speaker. the two chambers could not
have voices in the finances of the gov
eminent, but the lords belonged too
much to one class, and consequently, IN

the lords are too much OF one mind.
1t has been said that the House of

but that the repeal of that act was the
very operation that the lords we're about
