HOUSE OF LORDS—Fmuv.
Lord DE Lists and Duoter, in moving for the pro-
duction of the correspondence between Mr. Gladstone and
Count Katolyi, commented with some severity on the
Premier's speeches in Midlothian, and condemned his
recent apology as without precedent in Use history of the
country.
Earl GRANVILLE explained that the letter to Count
Karolyi bad been penned in accordance with a promise of
Mr. Gladstone that if Austria furnished him with proof
that she did not intend to go further he would be willing
to withdraw his words.
The Marquis of SALISBURY dwelt upon the gravity of
the charge made by Mr. Gladstone, and contended that
he had not apologised, though he had said enough to
humiliate his country. Austria, however, was wise to
regard his let.er as an apology.
Lord KIMBERLEY censured the noble liarquis for
criticising the foreign policy of Ministers before he knew
what their policy wee. He had no feeling against
Austria. but the facts of history were not to be ignored.
The Earl of BRAcoxsgiato declined to accept as an
apology for Mr. Glsdstone's attack on Austria the policy
of Prince Metternich, who retired from office thirty or I
forty years ago. The statement complained of had been
made at a critical moment, end must be regarded as
injurious to Austria.
The Duke of ARGYLL, while regretting the speech of
Mr. Gladstone, pointed out that the fears which the
Premier had expressed were entertained by a large
number cd persons at the time.
HOUSE OF COMMONS—FRIDAY.
On the Speaker calling upon hon. members desiring to
take their seats to come to the table to be sworn, Mr.
Bradlaugh walked up from the liar for the purpose, and
Sir Erskine May was on the point of presenting him with
the New Testament, when
Sir IL D. WOLFF objected to Mr. KRADLAVOII being
allowed to take the oath of allegiance, contending that by
the law of England an Atheist was not competent to take
an oath. He moved a resolution to that effect.
The motion was seconded by Mr. Fowtert
A long debate followed, and ultimately a motion for
adjournment was carried.
