The House of Commons was induced by the ministers to pass a resolution condemning the use of general warrants, and another resolution condemning the seizure of papers in cases of libel. It must be added, to the lasting honor of Lord Rockingham, that his administration was the first which, during a long course of years, had the courage and the virtue to refrain from bribing members of Parliament.
The scent was of horsehair and plush and Florida Water. "How could people ever live with things like this?" she shuddered. She saw the furniture as a circle of elderly judges, condemning her to death by smothering. The tottering brocade chair squeaked, "Choke her choke her smother her." The old linen smelled of the tomb.
The trouble was over a bill for extra pay to army officers, but it led to an elaborate discussion of the Greek war policy, M. Venizelos made two long speeches defending his policy, and condemning the policy of his opponents in regard to the Balkan situation.
This vote of the Lords caused much murmuring among the Commons. It was said to be most unparliamentary to pass a bill one week, and the next week to pass a resolution condemning that bill. It was true that the bill had been passed before the death of the Electoral Prince was known in London.
African states voted overwhelmingly in favor of the U.N. Resolution calling for release of the hostages, and for the U.N. Resolution condemning the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan.

Instead of either condemning or accepting authors, is it his duty merely to understand and remember what they say? Memorizing, as a fifth factor in study The scientist is greatly dependent upon his memory.
Now that I think of it, it was not a very Christian-like act to preach a sermon condemning something I have never looked into. Maybe that is what is the matter with us all; it is the same as sentencing a man without a hearing. I believe I will investigate this thing a little.
Reeve heard the voice of mankind condemning her. She knew it was all true. The thought had haunted her for days, and that she might not hear more, she drowned the words by sousing about the dirty water under the hiss of the scouring brush. But when she reached home just before midnight, her mind was made up. Her husband had always insisted that the children should be well fed and healthy.
Some one, Paliser probably, had invented the admission and she had refused to see him, after condemning him unheard. I will attend to that, Cassy decided.
