Indirect

In the House of Lord

To have possess the debates at second-hand
it although ever so correct correctly does not yet come up
to what the people have reason to expect: they
should have it occasionally in their power to
catch the living features visible indications of the mind: and to compare
the language of the countenance with the
language of the tongue. But the dimensions of the
St Stephen's Chapel are so conveniently narrow,
that were every member of the house to attend his duty, not
a single man of their constituents would be able
to exercise this right.

The standing orders of the Let us lift up cast an
our eye for for a moment to the upper house. On the
points in question the standing orders of this house
were originally to the same effect as those of the
lower. Within these few years however an order
has been made empowering every peer to introduce
a stranger behind the bar. The rule of
this house is more popular than that of the peoples
house, and the practise is still more popular
than the rule. The members of the House
of Commons have admittance without introduction among
the other strangers. Some want a gallery to
to
themselves
