Tho' battle has been a long and severe one. We have borne our part in it un. flinchingly for many years. To Sir John Hall, Sir Robert Stout, and tho other members of the Legislature whose advooaoy and energy is now crowned with victory, the greatest credit is due, and we have no doubt that their services will be gratefully recognised by all who share m tho benefits of tho great reform they have been mainly instrumental in bringing about. To the Government, aUo, the credit which is due mnst be awarded.
