Nor from the wider standpoint of the liberty of the subject is the prospect less alarming. Hitherto in framing their mea- sures Ministers have had to take account of a Chamber where in- dependent judgment is less easily dragooned than in the Dail. and may sometimes, one suspects, have been secretly thankful on occasion for the check so placed upon their own intransigent followers.
