If the lawyers in Dublin were guilty of factious opposition to the Government, they were not altogether without excuse.

I can also with perfect sincerity declare that the vote which I shall give to-night will not be a factious vote.

Now, in counselling opposition of the most determined nature to any such attempt, we are actuated by no factious spirit.

It was not merely the factious Tories who repeated the mis-statement, though they naturally used it most industriously.
