struck by other policemen. He was obliged to apply
to a surgeon. He underetood the order to stand back
was. to keep within the raping.. He had .no- idea the
police would have come inside and forced them further
back. .
Mr. Henry Male, 9, Char;ee-street, Portman-square,
was in the Park froin three to six o'clock on the Ist
inst., standing near the receiving-house. During that
time there was some shouting, but nothing approaching
a riot. The first disturbance he saw arose from a police.
man striking a boy oveii the head and shoulders, who
was leaning over the rails. The people cried "Shame,"
and after that they commenced an indiscriminate
attack on the people--striking right and left ; subse-
quently be saw the police attacking the peope in a
similar manner. In his opinion the police behaved
in a very disgraceful manner. When the people cried
" Shame" the police made an attack in the direction the
eepression proceeded from. The men made an attack
immediately on receiving instructions. Superintendent
Hughes and others were there on horseback. He
noticed nothing different in his conduct to that of
the other superintendents. Ho could not say which
gave directions to the police. He was of opi-
nion there would have been no disturbance had
it not been for the conduct of the police. He
did not see any person addressing the people, but the
populace in groups expressed their abhorrence of the.
Sunday Beer Bill, contrasting in their conversation the
facilities the rich possessed in having their clubs and an
opportunity of amusing themselves, betting the whole
of Sunday, whilst the poor man was to be prevented
buying a newspaper or getting shaved. The police were
not abused, but some slang phrases were used.
Mr. Sydney Howell, architect, 8, Gloster-street, Bel-
grave-road, was in the. Park, between 4 and 6 o'clock,
walking between the bridge at the east end and the Re-
ceiving-house. He saw one stone thrown at a superin-
tendent of police on horseback, about 6 o'clock, imme-
diately after the police had made a charge on the
people, hitting indiscriminately. The' people were sent
back several feet from the railings, and then permitted
to come forward, when the police would attack them
again, and drive them back, hitting right and left.
He saw one young man struck by the police, and on
his remonstrating, the policeman tore. his waistcoat,
struck him on the shoulder, turned him round,
and struck him twice oh the back, and only
because the person appeared 'disposed to take
the policeman's number. The • Park, no doubt,
might have been cleared if proper directions had been
given. The police did not -advise the people to go home,
but struck at them without notice. If it had not been
for the police all would have passed off quietly, except
the shouting of "Go to church." He considered the
object of the populace was t ) show their abhorrence of
Lord R. Grosvenor's bill. He believed the notices issued
desiring the public to remain away from the Park on
that day had the effect_of increasing the numbers.
The Court adjourned for half-an-hour.
On its resumption the first witness called was
Mr. William Davis, professor of music, 84, Wimpole-
street, Cavendish square. He was at Hyde-park on
the. Ist inst. from half-past three o'clock till half-past
five o'clock. His wife was with him. When near the
Serpentine he heard shoutings, groanings, and curious
sounds proceeding from that quarter. He stationed
himself between the east end of the Serpentine and
the receiving-house, and he saw the police re-
peatedly order the people to leave the rails, waving
their truncheons the better to enforce their orders.
When a carriage passed there was a hiss, or two,
which the police endeavoured to prevent, and
when they thought they detected the party who hissed
they apprehended him. In most instances the poorer
classes were selected. He saw an inspector of po-
lice of the A division seize a young man and charge him
with holding his fist up at a carriage that passed. Wit-
ness was standing for some time opposite the young
man, but he did not notice his doicg so. The inspector
pulled the young man from under the railing and gave
him into the custody of an officer. Witness attended
the next day at the police office to give evidence in favour
of the young man, but was refused admission to the
court by the police on duty, alleging the court was full.
He saw no person haranguing the people, and there was
nothing about the gathering to indicate it was for any
particular purpose.
By Mr. Ellice—The police struck across the railings
as they moved in front of them. He did not see them
strike any one at that time, because the people drew
back to avoid it. In the distance he saw the police
striking hard, but he was unable to identify any par-
ticular case. The police then made a rush and the
people retreated. He attended there from curiosity.
Recorder of Manchester—That no doubt was the case
with the majority of the people who wore there.
Mr. Adam Holding, waste paper-dealer, 22, Mareham-
street, Westminster, was in the Park with his wife on
the Ist inst. about four o'clock. They were sittigg, on a
heap of rubbish near the receiving-house reading the
Family Herald. He heard a rush and left his wife to
see what it was. He found the police were forming in a
circle, and happening to get into the midst of them the
superintendent on duty directed policeman 12 A to take
him into custody.

STANDING ORDERS.
Sir W. HEATHCOTE moved the consideration of the
report of the Standing Orders Revision Committee. He
said the committee had endeavoured as far as possible to
make their standing orders agree with those of the
Upper House. They had also determined that for the
futura no member, locally or otherwise interested in any
private Lill before a select committee, shall be a mem-
ber of that committee.
Mr. F. FRENCH drew attention to the very high
fees at present charged on getting private bills passed
through committee, and hoped some plan would be
adopted to lessen those charges.
Mr. SPOONER objected to the rule laid down by the
committee excluding members locally interested from
being members of a committee on private bills, as he
considered such members, from their local knowledge,
were of the greatest service on such committees.
Mr. BROTHERTON concurred in the objection of
the hon. niemher for North Warwickshire (Mr. Spooner).
Mr. SOTHERON defended the rule laid down by
the committee. He considered that members locally in-
terested in a private bill would be of far greater service
by giving evidence before the committee as witnesses
than in the anomalous position of members of the com-
mittee.
Mr. BARROW expressed his concurrence in the view
of the rule expressed by the hon. member for North
Warwickshire.
Mr. BOUVERIE said the local member was by the
rules excluded from acting as a judge on private bills ;
and as an advocate, he must also be excluded, so that
the only character he could appear in would be as a
witnese. There was, however, one objection to that,
because there was no means of cross examining him.
There were no local members on railway bills, and he
never heard yet that the public interest suffered from
that fact. (Hear.) He therefore hoped the house would
support the report of the committee.
After a few observations by Sir R. FERGUSON, Mr.
DEEDES, and Sir J. DUCKWORTH,
Lord SEYMOUR said he thought they had better at
once adopt the rule of the committee and exclude local
members altogether as members of committees on pri-
vate bills. and admit them only as witnesses.
Mr. MUNTZ also considered it better to admit local
members as witnesses only. He skip-thought i# would
be much better if all witnesses before committees should
be examined upon oath. (Hear.)
After some observations from Sir W. HEATHCOTE, in
reply, stating his readiness to adopt the amendment of
Mr. Deedes,
Sir G. GREY said he thought that the majority of
the house was in favour of the proposition of the com-
mittee, and it would, therefore, be better at once to
adopt it and lEiave local members to be examined as wit-
nesses.
Mr. ALCOCK could not agree with the suggestion of
the hon. member fur Birmingham) that it was necessary
to have members sworn before they gave evidence before
a committee. He agreed, however, with the proposition
that local members should not sit on committees where
the interests of their constituents were at stake.
Mr. R. PHILLIMORE supported the report of the
committee.
After some observations from Sir H. WILLOUGHBY
and Mr. APSLEY PELLATT,
Mr. BROTHERTON expressed a hope that the hon.
member for North Warwickshire would not divide the
house upon this question.
Mr. R. SPOONER said be felt so strongly upon the
question that he felt compelled to divide the house
upon it.
The house then divided, when there appeared—
For the proposition of the committee . 80
Against it
—23
Majority
The report was therefore agreed to without any mate-
rial amendments.
Mr. BAINES presented several petitions from Leeds
and its neighbourhood, praying for an extension of the
hours for opening public-houses on Sunday.
