TO SECURE A MAJORITY BY NEW PEERS.
The "Daily News" (Liberal) recently declared that "the probability is that tho King will do pretty well what King William IY did in 1832. Just as the National common-sense- killed the Dukes' outcry against the Budget, so it is likely to support a settlement- of the House of Lords' .veto by a constitutional course. The' electors do not want another consultation. They have given their orders, and want to have them carried out:"
On May 7, 1832, when the Reform Bill was in the House of Lords, a hostile amendment-r"that tho question of enfranchisement should precede that of disfranchiscment"—was carried by 35 votes. 9 the Ministry resigned, and great public excitement ensued. The Ministers were induced to resume office on King William TV granting them full power to secure majorities by the. creation of new Peers: On May 30, in the Lords, the Bill was carried through Committee, and was read a third time, by a majority of 84, on June 4. It received the Royal assent on June 7, 1832. . . . ./
