ABSTRACT
Lord George wrote the next morning (Tuesday, March 31st) to a friend, who had not been able to attend the debate: ‘ I look upon last night as the most awkward night the government have had yet; I believe they would have given their ears to have been beaten. We have now fairly set them and the tail at loggerheads, and I cannot see how they are to get another stage of either the tariff or corn bill, before next Tuesday at any rate. I doubt if they will do anything before Easter.’
