The Government was anxious not to jeopardise the Bill, which has been so lons needed, by a too strong insistence, and suggested nine hours ay a compromise. Hon members have » pretty conceit in throwing about playful adjectives to one another, with a more or leas display of ferocity, and beiore the compromise was adopted the Government thmitened to abandon the Bill if any other course was taken.
