Sir Wilfrid Lawson only carried 75 Members with him into

the- lobby, while 301 voted against him,—majority, 226. Of the two working-men Members, Mr. Burt (Morpeth) voted for and Mr. Macdonald (Stafford) against the Permissive , Bill, so expressing, we suspect, the pretty equally-divided opinion of the operative class. All the three Members for Manchester, curiously enough, Mr. Birley, Mr. Callender, and Sir T. Bailey, voted for the Bill, and Mr. Mandella (Sheffield) also voted for it. But with these exceptions, and perhaps one or two more, the seventy-five were not weighty votes.
