Parl. Reform Bill
Secure in what proportionable number are
the Murders capable of being 'baled' now?

By the here proposed system this whole mountain of
abuse would be removed.
But since this forasmuch as for the preservation of

of their choice. Specific Evil –
3. Insinuation the 3d. The Into the appropriate aptitude of
the no proposed Member would any adequ sufficient enquiry be
generally made. Any Candidates would not be then as now, be "baled".
