P., On the Privileges of the House of Commons, Now in ControversyAnd it will, I think, be convenient to treat these two questions in connexion with each other, as the precedents and authorities to which I shall have occasion to refer, will frequently throw light on both: to separate them would, therefore, probably lead to repetition.As regards the use.of the particular privilege, under review, the facts are clear, and all bear in one direction.
