ANNUAL REGISTER, 1794. 



2. This bill, though of a nature 

 to be very sparingly adopted, yet 

 was of particular propriety; for in a 

 matter of greit moment, it declnred 

 the law, saved the constitution, and 

 did iustice to the motives of the 

 executive government. 



3. Because the stopping of lliis 

 bill leaves tiie troops here, without 

 any consent of parliament. 



4-. Because the effect of the de- 

 clarations, by which the riglu of 

 the crown so to keep troops here 

 was disclaimed, however strong, 

 general, and unequivocal, is yet 

 transitory and fugitive; but the fact 

 that troops are so here, is notorius 

 andrecorded ; and wh nthe m.otives 

 which justified, ancithedeciarations 

 tliat reconciled to ihc house the 

 measure, are forgotten, may be 

 turned into precedent.
