Mot by a Member.
(_During the Debate on the Second Reading of the Parish Councils
Bill._)
FOWLER was longish, LONG was even longer,
MORE was much less so, STANHOPE little stronger;

He's not for Hene-age, but for all (our) time!
What a relief after such thrice-skimmed milk
To get truth's cream from ROLLIT and from DILKE!
