DIMENTICANDO IL SUO POSTO. John Bright: Chiesa irlandese che scende! Tieniti fuori dalla strada con quella tua vecchia macchina "infatuata" - non puoi? Sposo delle camere: John, John, state dimenticando il vostro posto - non dovete usare quel tipo di linguaggio ora. 14 giugno 1869 il signor Bright, scrivendo in risposta a un invito a partecipare ad una riunione a Birmingham a sostegno della Irish Church Bill, si è indulto in un linguaggio molto forte riguardo alla camera dei lord. Se ritardarono l'approvazione del progetto di legge di tre mesi, disse: "Stimoleranno la discussione su questioni importanti che, ma per il loro infatu

FORGETTING HIS PLACE.John Bright: Irish Church coming down! Pull out o' the way there with that 'infatuated' old Machine of yours - can't yer? Groom of the Chambers: John, John, you're forgetting your place - you mustn't use that sort of language now. 14 June 1869 Mr. Bright, writing in reply to an invitation to attend a Meeting at Birmingham in support of the Irish Church Bill, indulged in some very strong language concerning the House of Lords. If they delayed the passing of the Bill for three months, he said, "they will stimulate discussion on important questions which, but for their infatuation, might have slumbered for years." He advised them, instead of doing a little childish tinkering about life peerages, to bring themselves on a line with the opinions and necessities of our day. "In harmony with the nation, " he said, "they may go on for a long time, but throwing themselves athwart its course they may meet with accidents not pleasant to think of." This letter gave great offence, and was referred to in both Houses of Parliament, where the Ministers disavowed any official knowledge of or responsibility for it. It was very generally thought that considering his own position in the Cabinet, and the fact that some of his colleagues were Members of the Upper House, Mr. Bright had gone a little beyond the bounds of discretion and courtesy on this occasion.
