Henry Labouchere, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera. Governor Douglas to the Right Hon. H. Labouchere, M.P. Victoria, Vancouver's Island, April 6, 1858. Sir, 1.
Let me add to what I have said that ten Whigs, members of former Cabinets, are omitted in this, while only two Peelites are omitted, and one entirely new is admitted Argyll. Let me propose further that the minor posts be recast with less disproportion. Cardwell ought not to have office while Labouchere, Vernon Smith, and others are excluded. 'Pray let me have an answer before the writs are moved.
But this belongs to ancient history, and my business is with the conversation of to-day. Very distinctly of to-day is the conversation of Mr. Labouchere. Even our country cousins are aware that the Member for Northampton is less an ornament of general society than the oracle of an initiated circle.
"Go on," said Mr. Labouchere. "Well, you have now got fame, honour, everything for which it is legitimate in man to strive. "So far back as I can remember, you have had the world laughing with you. But you know what human nature is. "There comes a morning to all wits, when their public wakes to find them bores. The fault may not be the wit's, but what of that? The result is the same.

He was introduced to the House as a new member to take his seat by Mr. Labouchere and Mr.
There is a report that the desire of his heart is to sit on the first seat on the front bench below the gangway, which for seven years was occupied by Mr. Labouchere, and which for the five years of Mr. Gladstone's Ministry of 1880 to 1885 was occupied by Lord Randolph Churchill when he was the chief of the dead and buried Fourth Party.
The money advanced under the Labouchere letter for land improvement, and for arterial drainage cannot, of course, be regarded as a free gift towards staying the Famine; arterial drainage and land improvement go on still, through money advanced by Government.
'The authority for the statement of the flogging by the Boers of a coloured man named Esau at Calvinia was a Reuter's telegram, confirmed subsequently by the report made to Cape Town by the district surgeon of Calvinia. From Mr. Brodrick's reply to Mr. Labouchere in House of Commons, February 21.
