The West Norfolk Members do not seem quite so much
delighted as Sir J. Trollope with the work of last session. The Hon. T. de Grey said, at a meeting near King's Lynn, on Thursday, "A Reform Bill has passed, and whether for good or for evil, I hardly venture to give an opinion." That, at all events, is honest. It is perplexing to find Tory members all over the country exult- ing in the passing of a measure which, a year ago, they would have denounced as too wicked even for Mr. Bright. Perhaps it is the " note " of a Tory to love his party better than he loves his creed.
