Show Mr. Dliiiaeli ami Sir Unhurt IVel. Mr. Fronde's story alittnt Sir Robert Peel bavins once asked Vatistintfuished j friend" to carry a challenge to Mr. Dis- 1 raeli is a mo-f nonsensical romance, and i it is wonderful that he could print such 1 rubbish. The truth is that Mr. Fronde's fiction is bas.vl upon the fact that there wan once a stormy scene in the house of commons between Mr. Disraeli and Sir Hubert's brother, Ueti. Peel, which would certainly have resulted in a hostile hos-tile meeting but for the intervention of friends. Mr. Fronde has simply con- ' fused Sir Robert with his brother, but his story is all wrong, for the general commenced hostilities by informing Mr. Disraeli that he had told a falsehood. The whole affair was over in less than half an hour, as the aifyressor frankly apologized. Lord George, Bentinck was Mr. Disraeli's "friend" and Admiral Rous acted for Gen. Peel. Loudon Truth. |
