In A P.112 114. the fundamental principle for which I
contend is" (he says) to alter no part of the law by itself
"or without considering the other parts [+] [+] So in p.114. This
haven is but a preliminary
attention: for with necessary
on the matter is taken
up in force, and the expence
of it taken up
the whole page.| Accordingly 2 pages
after another concluding page comes his motion Third an
"humble address be presented to his Majesty praying that he
"will be graciously pleased to issue a Commission for inquiry
"into the defects con occasioned by time and
"in the laws of this realm, and into the measures necessary
"for removing the same" This was on Feby 7th 1828.

By Mr Brougham in
his speech all comprehensiveness
of reform urged partial
legislation reprobated
Yet at the end after his
speech a Commission
with limited powers
appointed with his
agent

In the Postscript To the same speech came a Postscript
in the words following "Upon the Adjourned Debate on
"Mr Brougham's Motion, on Friday, February 29,
"the following Resolution, substituted by him
"with the assent of the Government, was unanimously
carried: —

"That an Humble Address be presented to his
"Majesty, respectfully requesting that his Majesty may
" be pleased to take each measures as may seem
"most expedient for the purpose of causing due
"inquiry to be made into the origin, progress, and
"terminations of actions in superior Courts of Common
"Law in this country, and matters connected
"therewith; and into the state of the Law regarding
"the Transfers of Real Property"

This amendment of
Peel's whereby all comprehensiveness
impossibilized
adopted on a
motion from Brougham

Laid down in p.114
already a
under the disciple of Lord Eldon
to a it had
been infractioned violated

Wise and honest this same fundamental principle of Mr
Brougham — this principle by him though only
passed as a fundamental one. Next to Mr Bentham
measure of inviting the whole intellectual strength of the
country to join at one in the composition of a remedy, to the evil instead instead of employing
different sets of men of talking about it the of Mr Brougham was so many different they only professed to
thing to be . Under matchless consequences make no particular A job it would have been turned to
of course as in some discordant stomachs every thing turns
into acidity: but the job there would have been no more than
one — Comes now Mr Peels amendment by which the proposed
all comprehensiveness is impossiblized, inaptitude secured chaos perpetuated,
and ten jobs manufactured instead of one and job doubled
and
and that law is effected
by a motion from
this same Mr Brougham
as this be likewise effected.
