he scruples not to stand up against it as a Judge.
He stands up against it, and stands along. He
stops it in his own House: he stops it for reasons
of which not even that House, much less the public,
are let into the confidence. He gets a Q put to
it: and this Q consigns it to oblivion for weeks:
for weeks after the time, when, according to the
representation one of his Majesty's Secretaries of
State was pleased to make to the Authors of the
plan, the delay of a day might have been fatal
to it. Another noble person, observing the Bill
at the last gasp, and ready to sink under this
treatment, forces the attention of Administration
to the subject, and thus the Act, after a little
parliamentary manufacturing, administered to it
in whispers by its noble opponent, as length
crawls into existence. — The noble Earl is now
dispatched upon an extraordinary mission, as the
chosen interpreter of the plans and sentiments of
an Administrator from which almost till the moment
it had kept at a hostile distance. The
name of the noble Earl is now no longer mentioned
as an opponent to the measure: it need
not. In person he is no longer present: but his
influence
