But it was renewed in a fierce all-night sitting on
Monday, when the help of the Welsh and English malcontents was invited and bestowed, Mr. Sexton and Mr. Dillon thundered against the Lords, and asserted the perfect reasonablene: of making the servants smart for the masters' sins ; even Mr. Justin McCarthy gave in his not very convinced adhesion while Mr. Lloyd-George and young Mr. Dalziel, and both Mr. A. C. and Mr. E. J. Morton assisted in the melee ; and even Sir Wilfrid Lawson exhorted the Government to declai e formal war on the Lords by announcing their intention to ador.t the Leeds formula against any second exercise of the Lorcle veto after a measure had been carried a second time against them in a new Session. Sir William Harcourt resolutely refused to enter on so great a policy as this at the fag-end of a Session without even full deliberation with his comrades in the Cabinet, but he disclaimed any intention of showing disrespect to the Irishmen, and at 4 o'clock in the morning allowed progress to be reported and the Session to be lengthened by another day. The Government majority, however, in the frequent divisions of the long sitting varied from 26 to 20.
