Detesting Mr.Robb, she naturally aims at ousting him from his Parliamentary seat, and no news could be more acceptable to her than that of a possible change in the political temper of Hollingford.

The town is Tory, from of old.

Mr.Robb is sitting in his second Parliament, and doubtless hopes to enter a third.

But he is nearly seventy years old, and we hear that his constituents would not be sorry if he gave place to a more active man.

The hope that Hollingford may turn Liberal does not seem to me to be very well founded, and yet I don't regard the thing as an impossibility.
