The Earl of Rochester, in the (lavs of Charles n., was ll()t ~m i .,]|y „ 101 j L , stj lor he took an early opportunity of addressing 11,,. |i OUS( ,' 0 ( bimlS; w , iln a is . astrous results. " }J y he began, "J rise this time for the first lime, tlrj very first lime, my lords, and divide ii'V speech into four branches." Jlere lie paused fin- a rt ., v seconds, grew purple and confused, and finally blurted out, " -My lords, if ever 1 ris c . again in this House you may cut me oil', root and branches and all, for evitr." Lord Hyron was moa , fortunate, for his maiden effort was declared bv Sir !'• Burdett to be "the best spccch'by a 'Old since the Lord knows when." ' Lord Rescbery's maiden speech, after tlireo years of silence, was a model of modest oratory, opening for a plea for that favour uu d indulgence which the House always shows to tho.-.e who address it fur the first time-"even in a larger measure on account of mv extreme youth and inexperience."
