No Bill, I believe, of such importance,--certainly no important Bill in my time, has been received with such general approbation.

The very cause of the negligence of the reporters, and of the thinness of the House, is that we have framed our measure so carefully as to give little occasion for debate.

Littleton, Denison, and many other members, assure me that they never remember to have seen a Bill better drawn or better conducted.
On Monday night, I hope, my work will be over.

Our Bill will have been discussed, I trust, for the last time in the House of Commons; and, in all probability, I shall within forty-eight hours after that time be out of office.

I am fully determined not to give way about the West India Bill; and I can hardly expect,--I am sure I do not wish,--that the Ministers should suffer me to keep my place and oppose their measure.
Whatever may befall me or my party, I am much more desirous to come to an end of this interminable Session than to stay either in office or in Parliament.
