CURIOUS BITS
OF HISTORY
BY A. w. MACY.
HOW ONE FAT LORD COUNT
ED AS TEN.

The enactment Of the law OF
habeas corpus marks an Impor-
tant epoch IN the progress Of
civil liberty In England, and 10
regarded 40 one Of the great
achievements Of Charles the
Seconds reign. Charles himself
did not want the law, but Just
at the time he was very anxious
70 curry favor with the people,
and was afraid to oppose 90 pop
ular a measure. The friends and
foes Of the act were pretty even-
ly divided in parliament, but on
the final vote II was carried.
The manner Of its passage, how
ever, was both comicsl and "
legal. While tho voting was %
ing on a very fat lord arose snd
asked that his vote be reco 'ded
In the affirm ative. In q spirit
Of fun the clerk announced ten
votes for him, 10 accord with
his great size. They were so
recorded, and for come unex-
planned reason the "error" MAS
never corrected. The stranqest
part Of II Is, the majority for
the measure was less than ten;
hence IL would have failed Of
passage without the fat lords
extra votes. This Is an instance
where a Joke was carried too
far to good purpose.
