La question doit être soumise à la haute cour du Parlement et le Gouvernement de l'époque ayant soumis sa cause, non pas seulement à cette Chambre, mais aussi à l'autre Chambre qui peut bien ne pas appuyer le Gouvernement, ce qui arrive fréquemment, doit se retirer s'il n'a pas l'approbation de l'autre Chambre aussi bien que celle de la Chambre des communes.
The question must be submitted to the high court of parliament, and the government of the day having submitted its cause, not to this house alone but also to the other branch of parliament which may not conceivably support the government, and that has very often happened, if it is unable to secure the approval of that other branch of parliament, as well as the approval of the commons, it fails and the government must go.
