No Minister Ever Stood, Or Could Stand,

However Much I Have Been Blamed For Not Showing More Deferences To A Great Party, And For Not Acting More Steadily On Party Principles, All I Have To Regret Is That I Showed So Much.

No Minister Ever Stood, Or Could Stand, Against Public Opinion.

The Police Are The Public And The Public Are The Police; The Police Being Only Members Of The Public Who Are Paid To Give Full Time Attention To Duties Which Are Incumbent On Every Citizen In The Interests Of Community Welfare And Existence.

The Reform Bill Has Destroyed The Ancient Conduits And Strainers, And Brings Public Opinion To Act Upon The Government With The Rapid, Turbulent, And Uncertain Violence Of A Flood!

But After This Natural Burst Of Indignation, No Man Of Sense, Courage, Or Prudence Will Waste His Time Or His Strength In Retrospective Reproaches Or Repinings.
