réf. 22600Headed 10 Downing Street Whitehall 6 March 1891. Three pages cr. 8vo bifolium fold marks good condition. "I have read your letter with reference to Mr Justice Stephen with care and I observe that while you throw the whole responsibility on the Government for the continuance of a condition which you describe as 'notorious' and creating 'a general dissatisfaction' you do not advance a single specific allegation as to a failure of justice on which it would be possible to take action. The only course of action open to the Government in the case of a judge whose conduct merits removal is by address to the Crown in both Houses of Parliament. The constitution has very properly made the judges absolutely independent of the Government of the day which so far as they are concerned possesses no Paternal or Disciplinary authority and any Member of Parliament is equally entitled to move an Address with any member of the Government. But this power which you possess in common with ourselves should obviously be exercised with abundant specific proof of the necessity in the public interest of that course. I am not in possession of evidence of that character on which I could feel it my duty to proceed." At this time Smith was First Lord of the Treasury and Leader of the House.

186516°, pp.(8) 63-1 b. T. tela recente, conserva la br. edit. Il direttore del Contemporaneo, F.P.Carrillo, aveva inviato al De Luise, per un parere, la Lettera di M. d'A. agli elettori, del D'Azeglio descrivendolo come un opuscolo "che non soddifa né gli onesti, né a' tristi... non altro che un insulto continuo all'Italia e uno stimmatizzare continuo il Parlamento..." Dopo a lettura, il De Luise rispondeva: "... l'Italia... è oppressa dagli schiamazzi del partito democratico e soverchiata dal partito consortista. Il vero popolo, non già la setta, né il partito, è deluso da' raggiri... Un gran numero di elettori, anzi la maggioranza... si astiene dal voto... Che ha da fare la Camera? Se la maggioranza è col ministero, avremo il potere esecutivo sorretto da moltiplicati puntelli. Se la maggioranza non è col ministero, sarà sciolta!"(pp.1-4). E prosegue con l'analisi della politica italiana.
