The Boundary dispute has been compromised, all parties agree- ing

to refer the case of the towns in which there is opposition to a new Committee of five—Mr. Walpole, Sir W. Stirling-Maxwell, Mr. Whitbread, Mr. Austin Bruce, and Mr. Kirkman-Hodgson, sensible and 'sponsible people all of them, with a liking for fair play. They are to sit every day, and receive all documentary evidence attainable. Their report is to be final, and we trust the House will adhere to that agreement, and not begin debating again because some county has lost a few urban constituents. Liberal principles are true, and must inevitably win, and Liberals can convert people in the country just as well as people in town, if a little more slowly.
