LILNOTH OP TILE PARLIAMIDiTARY
" Punch's" excellent Joke about Mr. Oladattte's being the real
Irremovable Poor 1119, who dares not move, but Is compelled.
hour after hour, to watch officially during the votes of " supply,"
reminds no of a very old grievance in mord to the length of
parliameutary debates. Why should there not he some such
mode of defining the bounds of a speech as that adopted In the
ancient Roman forum, wherein, when ti's clepsydra denoted a
certain amount of time had elapsed, the speaker was compelled
to sit down? We could, by applying such a regulation to
the House of Commons, shorten the session consklerahh, and
we really do not see why the Idea should not be acted upon.
The scene would be somewhat novel if perhaps halts-dozen
excited debaters rose simultaneously, and, showing their
watches, shouted out, "Time's up," and in testimony of its
truth, and not by way of an oath. repeated "Time's up, by
Benson," meaning, of coarse, Mr. Benson. the great watchmaker
of Ludgrate.hill and ConshilL but the result would he excel.
