proved by Lord Ashley's speech Of two

A bill that provided legal defense for
anyone accused Of treason was under
discussion. Finally, Lord Ashley. who,
was sitting In parliament for the first
time, rose to make his maiden speech.
He was 90 excited and nervous that

confused, what. must the poor prisoner

Lord Ashley sat down, trembling
and nervous, but Eunconsciously he
had made . far more effective plea, for
the measure than any Of the members
who had previously spoken in its ia
vor. The bill was Immediately passed.
