PEERS fNU pEER- tEING

Among the various suggestions which
are being made for the defence of the
British House of Lords against the re-
form legislation which is now pending is
one of which we must admire the c0ur-
age more than we can applaud the Sa-
Gacity 1t i that the peers should reject
the anli-vctO bill and challenge the GOV
crnmcnt Or the Crown. 10 force its pas
sage through the creation Of y host OF
new peers for that purpose: and then.
when the new peers are named. exclude
them from voting i'm that house.
The precedent for this extraordinary
proposal is found in he historic Wcns-
lcydalc case. In 1886. with her minis
tcrS' advice. the Queen created Baron
rarkc-wbo was merely n baron" of
the Exchoqucr and not peer a peer
for life aS Lord Wcnslcydalc. The House
ot Lords deliberated upon the question.
and finally. i'm good tempered aud
decorous manner. decided that while #
might once have been the prcrogativc of
the Crown 10 create life peers. that pre-
rogatiVc had not been exercised for
about four centuries and had therefore
lapScd through diSuSc and could not he
revived: and that therefore. while Lord
WenSlcydalc's pccragc might be good
enough for all other purposes. 1t was not
sufficient To cntitlc him 10 sit and vote
i'm that house: and that decision was
practically accepted 10y the government.
Now it i suggested that, acting upon
that precedent the House of Lords
might assert the fullest possible right to
Judge the qualifications Of its own mem
bcrS. and therefore on some prctcXt
might decline 10 accept rs valid the four
or five hundred creations Of now peers
which the Crown might make at Mr.
Asquith's instance. In the WcnSlcydaIc
case the government cOntcndcd that the
creation was regular and that Lord
WcnSlcydalc had right 10 sit and vote:
vet it yielded TO the contrary contention
Of the peers, admitting tn there was no
mandamus or other process Of law by
which the Lords could he cocrccd. and
that that house could act as il pleased in
the matter of accepting new members
/ or The present house thus 10 deal with
four or five hundred now creations Is 4

matte Imagination. however, more direct
