308 ORAL ARGUMENT OF SIR CHARLES RUSSELL, Q. C. M. P. 



The President. — It is not necessary for your case to settle whether 

 that is an act of legitimate self-defence. 



Sir Charles Russell. — That is what Lord Ashbuitou said. 



The President. — I think that is perfectly right. I believe he is 

 more moderate and approi>riate in his terms than Lord Palmerston was. 



Sir Charles Russell. — Lord Palmerston was a man who used 

 strong language, or at all events had the credit of doing so. 



The President. — Well I suppose if you say so there was no harm 

 in my saying what I did.
