Mr Bentham on account of his uncertainty with regard to his
Brothers motions the liberty of direction this to Mr Evans.
2.J.P Tuesday June 17 1794.
Well — after all — the Bill is passed — praised be the
Lord therefore! Yea, the Bill, the very botched Bill,
botched by the Lords, has passed the Commons, and
by them been sent up to the Lords, there to receive the
sacred touch of the Royal Sceptre. Three amendments
I think there were, all separately agreed to. I heard them
mumbled — but you must not ask me what they were.
Not with Mr Hobart — nor good Serjeant Watson —
but Anedtruther took charge of the bantling and carried
it to the Lords — Long, then, Scotch a friend
of Nelson's, and Frail's and Douglas's, and Ld Chancellor's,
and all other Scotchmen's. How he came by it the
Lord knows. I had been waiting in great dispondency to hear the probable
fate of it from Long — having waited near two hours in
rain — thought I, I'll e'en to the Commons,
and take my chance for hearing it with my own ears.
