Some members of both Houses have, it is true, been removed from their employments under the Crown; but were they ever told, either by me or by any other of his majesty's servants, that it was for opposing the measures of the administration in Parliament? Robert Walpole
Robert Walpole quote: "No expense has been incurred but what has been approved of and..."
