HE present volume is intended as a sequel to the collection of Decisions by Mr. Speaker Denison and Mr. Speaker Brand, originally published successively between the years 1881 and 1887, in five small volumes, and re-issued in one volume in 1892. It covers the period 1884-189 5, during which the Right Hon. Arthur Wellesley Peel occupied the Chair of the House of Commons. Of the manner in which the inheritor of one of the most illustrious names in the Parliamentary Annals of England presided over the deliberations of the House it would be unbecoming in the Author to speak. But he has felt justified in renewing in print the memorable words used by Sir Robert Peel in 1819, in which he sketched what the House demanded from the occupant of the chair, and the description of the functions of the Speaker by Mr. Gladstone when seconding the nomination for the third time of Mr. Speaker Peel in 1886. The resolution of the House of Commons on Mr. Speaker' 8 retirement and the language used by the mover and seconder on that occasion supply the most fitting tribute and estimate of the work of Mr. Speaker Peel, and its appreciation by the House.
In conclusion, the Author desires to record his deep obligation to the late Sir T. Erskine May and to Sir Reginald F. D. Palgrave for encouragement, assistance, and generous recognition. And for the readiness with which at all times they placed at his disposal the results of their unrivalled knowledge of the Law and Practice of Parliament. To the late Lord Hampden (mr. Speaker Brand), to Viscount Peel, to the present Speaker (the Right Hon. W. C. Gully) he is equally indebted for the way in which each has expressed his appreciation of the manner in which the Author has executed his work and testified to its usefulness to the Speaker in the Chair. Thanks are also due to Chairmen of Committees and to leading Members of the Commons, and to the Presiding Officers and Oflicials. And to many Members, of the Parliaments of the Dominion of Canada and of the Australasian Colonies, for their recognition of the services of The Decisions.
