the Order in Council makes no request - !—it enjoins—it speaks of express words- ^ it puts the prayer m inverted comaaoas—it requires due obedienceit eomes frotn the Sovereign of Great Britain ^ and has all the form of a peremptory command . And yet the two likings are compared , mid the comparison is brought forward by the learned
Lord with Wonderful gravity , as a very capital illustration , and a most conclusive argument ! ( Laughter . ) His Lordship ' s case was bo * applicable ; but he ( Mr , T . ) would take the liberty of . putting a case which was exactly parallel , and he would be glad to know how the learned Lord would get the Jhetter of it . Supposing his Lordship
was to send a letter to his steward , and carder him to write to A . B . in express words , that such a thing was to be done —putting this in those inverted commas which had troubled gentlemen so much , and particularly Ms learned friend Mr . In&lis . who seemed to think them Ingiis , who seemed to think them
really conclusive , though lie was very unwilling to confess it ( 0 laugh ) —and supposing the steward were to use the freedom of obeying the order in substance , and not Kterally—employing his own language , and not the language set down for him by his Lordship ; and supposing , farther , that some hurtful mistake were to be the consequence of
this , what would his Lordship say ? Would he deem it a sufficient apology if the steward pleaded that he did not think himself restricted ? Or would he not rather condemn his steward , and
refer to his express words , and to the inverted commas , as quite decisive mth regard to his meaning ? So much , then , $ or the Remember in prayer alignment . ( A laugft . ) A great leal had , been urged by the learned Judge and the Solicitor-General as to the

ready to acknowledge the benefits received by the Church from the Crown as the most strenuous on the other side , and this was fully and strongly expressed in his motion ; froni which , be believed , « ifter all Aeir noise about
it , their sentiments upon that point were borrowed . { A laugh . ) He for his own part had neVer asked and never received any personal favour , and yet he was as much attached to his Sovereign as any one of them . Be was of no political party ; never was a member of any political club ; never attended
a political ^ meeting ; never s «* down to a political dinner ; and yet he felt grateful and attached to his Sovereign for the blessings and privileges which he enjoyed under his government . He was grateful and attached to the Royal Family , on grounds which sunk all the paltry and selfish
considerations urged by the Solicitor-General into utter insignificance and annihilation . He was grateful and attached , because he sharted , along with all his fellow-subjects , in those benefits which that Family had been the means of eonferrinff upon the country . He had
been rather unfairly dealt with , he thought , by the learned gentleman the Solicitor-General . That gentlemian observed , indeed , that he ( Mt . ^ Thomson ) had conducted himself with propriety , and he felt obliged to him for his favourable testimony ; tout he
