Irish member having risen was assail-

speech struggling in his breast for an
introduction into the world, when see
ing, after remaining for some time on
his legs, that there was not the slight
est chance of being suffered TO deliver
sentence of it. he observed with i'm
perturbable gravity and in rich Tip

FOUR or five thousand spectators would

lege goal, but the farmers could not
roll it over.
