The Liberals who voted against the Government were the three
Messrs. Fitzwilliam (South-West Riding, Malton, and Peterborough), none of whom explained their remarkable vote ; Sir E. Watkin (Hythe) ; Mr. M'Cullagh Torrens (Finsbury); Mr. Montague Guest (Wareham) ; Mr. Jerniogham (Ber- wick), who expressed himself, we believe, in his canvas in favour of the Affirmation Bill, but has since been subjected, it is said, to a great deal of Roman Catholic pressure from behind the scenes; with Mr. Nicholson (Petersfield), and Mr. Foster (Bridgnorth), troglodytes, who seldom lose an opportunity of entering a cave, however small and inconvenient. Further, a few Liberals copied the example of Mr. S. Morley, who stayed away from the division, and whose remorse, it is said, for having helped Mr. Bradlaugh's candidature once, now takes the re- markable form of assisting the party which is making a martyr of Mr. Bradlaugh, and so spreading his views broadcast through the country. Mr. S. Morley's remorse is even more mischievous to his religion than the sin for which he feels that remorse.
