It was plain and Bimple ^ -rit ihuiig well together , and w ^ is abundantly intelligible ; and if it in any measure puzzled his Lordship , all that he could say was , that there was no help for it . The learned Lord had said a great deal
about the Act of Queen Anne being still iii force . He did not pretend to vie with his Lordship in interpreting acts of Parliament , but he thought himself possessed of as much common sense and judgment as to dispute his Lordship ' s authority on this point . He maintained that the Act of Queen Anne
alluded to was not binding , and he put it to the learned judge , if any person were brought to his bar far disobeying the Order in Council , could he venture to try or to punish him on that statute ? The learned Lord would not
say so . It was impossible that he should . But then the learned Lord maintained that the Act of Queen Anne did not authorize the phrase " express words" to be considered as dictating ^ form of prayer . He ( Mr . T . ) thought ui oumuicii uix
' uuu tiy C 2 k . picu . ucu linnacju that head . He had never dwelt on that Act alone ; he had referred to several circumstances which were totally overlooked by the learned Lord , and particularly , his Lordship had found it
convenient to blink altogether the Act of George HI ., quoted in the Order , and for this good reason , he supposed , that the argument drawn from that source was irresistible . With regard to the s [^ U of Queen Anne , he had chiefly alluded to it to shew that the Order of Council derived nd authority from its enactments
, and to .. this the learned ijord had given , no satisfactory answer , " could he do . a : ; AaA then -as , to the Act of George , ^ « hilfe he ( Mr . 10 had demonstr » t «( aji | h | rf sit djd ;« iot apply to the , simMisjIjb ^ ;^ % - y , et its Jjeing '¦ ' -tr !

identify the whole of the anonymous pamphlet with the argument urged by him and his friends who had spoken on the same side . They must be allowed to think and to speak for themselves , and be judged of by the sentiments which they had expressed and avowed .
—The learned Lord had brought forward an argument to prove that Ifce Order in Council was' not imperative as to the express words ; of which argument he must say , that it was very curious and amusing . It was introduced by his Lordship with all the
solemnity that became such a serious subject , but . really , in its progress and result , it became utterly ludicrous .
