Then came a change of Ministry, as Lord Palmer- ston had been defeated on the Conspiracy Bill, and the Rajah instantly felt a difference in the tone adopted to- 1 82 BUILDERS OF GREATER BRITAIN wards him by the Government. Lord Derby cared little for Borneo, though his son, then Lord Stanley, showed a very appreciative interest in Sarawak.
