Mr. Childers, who spoke, however, when the House was empty-
ing for dinner, made the most conclusive, though the calmest. speech of the evening. He showed that under the usages--of the Colonies, the full title would be used in all the official documents ; that the Lord Chancellor's suggestion that the Pro- clamation need not be published in the Colonies was simply a blunder, since even to justify the use of the coins now in circula- tion in many of them, without the full title on them, that Proclan*: tion must be published ; and that the Supreme Court in every colony, being a Vice-Admiralty Court, and concerned with inter- national questions, must use the full title, unless empowered by statute not to do so. He pointed out the -vast confusion which would arise, if Colonies were to be at liberty to alter the style of the Crown at their own discretion. One colony would omit one phrase, one another, and the result would be a confusion in which the respect for Royalty itself would suffer. If the argument of the case had had any bearing on the debate, Mr. Childers's speech would have been simply final.
