The noble Earl said: Perhaps I may explain that the large number of amendments on the Marshalled List arises primarily because of the need to modernise the language of the Bill and to correct drafting errors.
I congratulate the noble Earl on his dexterity in speaking to so many amendments so briefly and on the great care and attention that he and his advisers have clearly given to the Bill which on Second Reading was generally agreed to be a useful and valuable Bill.
The noble Earl said: This amendment is simply a rewording to make it clear how the question of the proportion of costs being split between parties is to be addressed.

My Lords, I believe that the noble Earl, Lord Lytton, may be under a misapprehension because, not only in this amendment but in relation to previous amendments, he has spoken as if the scheme would take the form of a hedgerow protection order placed on hedgerows.

 The LUCILE Project - Saintsbury's Discussion
The outward life of Edward Robert, second Lord and first Earl of Lytton, who was born in 1831, was chiefly remarkable because of its most unusual repetition of the double bent toward literature and toward public affairs which had distinguished his famous father.
There are others – and Lord Lytton was one of these – to whom narrative of one kind or another, historic or fantastic, parabolic or direct, is apparently an inevitable form and mould of verse-expression, so that everything they write must take more or less pressure from this.
The fact would seem to be that Lord Lytton's poetical instrument had an Aeolian-harp quality, that it was specially liable to be swept by whatsoever wind of poetry was blowing strongly at the time, and to give forth sounds in key with those which more individual inspirations had set going.
