Can your lordships patiently hear what we have heard with indignation enough, and what, if there were nothing else, would call these principles, as well as the actions which are justified on such principles, to your lordships' bar ; that it may be known whether the Peers of England do not sympathize with the Commons in their detestation of such doctrine ? Think of an English governor tried before you as a British subject, and yet declaring, that he governed on the principles of arbi- trary powe...r.
