Mr. Goschen made some remarks strongly deprecating any violent language

towards the Lords, to which Mr. Bright replied that he hoped the country would discuss the question how to prevent the recurrence of these legislative breakdowns ; and he suggested that some limit should be put on the Lords' right of veto which, as we have elsewhere argued, seems to us quite insufficient. The meeting, on the whole, warmly endorsed Mr. Gladstone's proposals and Mr. Bright's impatience with the Lords, and was not much in sympathy with Mr. Goschen.
