Not many years ago, a Member, whose language had long been sufficiently indecorous, was stopped in the very act of offering violence to the person of the Speaker. Being on the right side in politics, and violent on that side — his transgression was regarded with the indulgence that might have been expected. But had Home Tooke been the man — Home Tooke, for dread of whom, after the House had, for so many ages, continued open to Clergymen without inconvenience or complaint, an exclusion was put upon the whole Order in the lumpmercy might not quite so readily have taken the place of justice.
THE END.
