And, on the third reading of it, it was opposed again; but it was at length carried. The speakers against the bill were; Sir William Yonge, Lord Sheffield, Colonel Tarleton, Alderman Newnham, and Mr. Payne, Este, Lechmere, Cawthorne, Jenkinson, and Dent. Those who spoke in favour of it were; Mr. Pitt, Fox, William Smith, Whitbread, Francis, Burdon, Vaughan, Barham, and Serjeants Watson and Adair.
It is worthy of notice that, while Grenville's ministry was in office, Whitbread brought forward an elaborate plan not only for reforming the poor laws but also for establishing a system of national education. Some changes in the cabinet were necessitated by the death of Fox.
"I shall only add, that, I think, if I know myself, had our lots been reversed, and I had seen you in my situation, and had left Lady E. in that of my wife, I would have risked 600l. rather than have left you so although I had been in no way accessory in bringing you into that condition. "S. Whitbread. Esq.
Whitbread would be bound to let me through enough to speak a word with him; and at the same time I pressed the guinea into his hand: so he stood aside a little and let me through, on my knees, enough to speak to Mr. Whitbread. Mr. Harcourt was already laid down on the sled, on the further side from me, and Mr. Whitbread was getting to his knees for the same end.
Whitbread! Mr. Whitbread!" cried the Duke. The priest turned and bowed again, uncovering as he did so. Then he came up to the Duke and kissed his hand. "I was on my way to see your Royal Highness," he said, "but when I saw you were in company " "Why, this is Mr. Mallock, come from Rome, who has letters to you. This will save you a journey, Mallock."
But I do not think we shall get a great deal." So it was decided then, that I would not give testimony unless there was some call for it; and I took my leave, marvelling at the constancy of these men, who preferred to imperil life itself, sooner than reputation. Well; all went forward as Mr. Whitbread had said it would. On the twenty-eighth day of September Dr.
Hamerton took occasion to ask me that night, when we were alone for a minute or two, what I was doing in the country. "I remember you perfectly now," said he. "Father Whitbread spoke to me of you, besides." I told him that I had nothing to do in town; and with His Majesty's consent was lying hid for a little, in order that what little was known of me might be forgotten again.

It has been transplanted to the foot of the railing that surrounds her monument it has taken root and spread and thus the same ivy that sheltered her cradle will overshadow her tomb! A British Meteorological Society is projected, with Mr. Whitbread as President. Its objects will be the observation and collection of all meteorological phenomena, and the encouragement of the science in every branch.
But I told him how I had met Father Whitbread, and how I was to go and see him on the morrow. "Why, I will come with you myself," he said. "I know Mr. Fenwick's lodgings very well: and we will ride afterwards as far as Waltham Cross, and lie there; and so to Hare Street for dinner next day."
