The House of Lords was at present a serious and formidable obstacle to Liberal legislation. The Parliament Acbr left them much power they ought not to possess. Ho would welcome the day—which he hoped would bo soon—when he could submit a plan making tho House of Lords a true and Imperial judicial authority.
