3 Another Governor-General, Lord Byng, is the subject of a very interesting incident in Mr. Macdonald's Recollections. Lord Byng also had very foggy ideas as to the functions of the King's representative, and on one occasion granted an interview to a group of striking coal-miners in direct opposition to the advice of his Ministers. The saying of Sidney Smith that to convince a Russell one must trepan, not argue, would seem to apply with equal force to certain other eminent families.
