which the consent of the house to being abol.

creation OF new peers.
The pceraee may be expanded indefinitely,
until every man be made a peer. The power
to create peers belongs, in theory, to the
crown, but in reality to the House of Com

abolish the House of Lords. the government
could send four hundred men there to out vote
them in their own chamber. r'
