Extracts of the debates of the House of Commons the first
day of the Session.
At the conclusion of a very long debate, Sir George Savile
stood up again, and declared, that he was as cool as before,
more so he could not be; and, in Shakespear's words, added,
"Bring me to the test, and I the matter will re-ward, which
madness would gambol from:" Therefore, standing up in my
place, as member for the County of York, I do declare, that
this House of Commons has betrayed the rights of the Nation.
