The Duke of Bedford to Lady Westmorland. April 3, 1858. I hope Lord Derby will not think it necessary to resign if he is beat (as he will be) in the Government Indian Bill.* It finds no favour in any quarter, especially the representation part of it. John con- siders it too bad to mend, and is likely to move its rejection on the second reading, but nothing is yet determined. In writing to Lady Derby yesterday, I could not resist telling her that I hope he (Lord Derby) will rather submit and suc...cumb under the peculiar circumstances than resign. It will be, how- ever, to him a choice of evils of the greatest magnitude. To remain in after defeat on such a measure would be degrading and humiliating to a Minister, and yet I am inclined to think it would be the course of patriotism, postponing all legislation till next year. You are so kind as to say you hope I have not been worried — not much, but you can't think how much I have had to do, although my work does not appear * Before his defeat, Lord Palmerston had obtained leave to introduce an India Bill vesting the Government of India in a Council nominated by the Crown.
