THE ROCHDALE ELECTION.

The SPEAKER inquired if Pater Johnson and John
Lord had been served with the order of the house ?

The Sergeant-at-Arms said both had been served, but
only John Lord was in attendance.
On the motion of Sir G. GREY, Peter Johnson was
ordered to be taken into custody.
JJhu Lard was then called in and questioned by the
Speaker as follows :
It is stayed that Abraham Rothwell was offered 501.
to go to New Orleans, and tbat you were present. Have
you any explanation to offer ?
Lard—l never attempted to to induce him to go.
SPEAKER—Have you anything further to say ?
I did hear him say if he wished to go he would pay
his outfit as far as 501.—that was the whole thing I
heard. _ _

The ATTORNEY-GENERAL suggested that the
matter should be referred to a select committee.

After some conversation upon technical points con-
nected with precedents, and the course of procedure to
be adopted, the motion was agreed to.
Tne ATTORNEY GENERAL then moved that Johu
Lord should be ordered to attend the committee.
Mr. CITE ETIIAM said information which had reached
him rendered it necessary that John Lord should be
placed in custody, and he moved as an amendment that
he should be so taken by the Sergeant-at-Arms.
Sir G. GREY thought some doubts might fairly he
entertained as to the policy of such a course after the
statement made by Lord at the bar, and especially as
the other party charged had not attended to the order of
the house.
Mr. FITZROY said no decisi n had been come to as
to the guilt of Lord, and it would therefore be an ano-
maly to plice it on record on the journals of the house
that he had been taken into custody.
Mr. HORSMAN said that so far Lord had been
gulty of no breach of privjege, and they could not
therefore order him into custody,
Mr, L BUTT took a similar view of the case.
After some further conversation, the amendment was
withdrawn.

Mr. I. BUTT then moved, as a new amendment, that
Lord should be recaled to the bar, and further ques-
tioned, is order to see whether he had been guilty of a
breach of privilege or not.
Mr. CHEETHAM said he had been anxious to put a
further question to Lord, but did not now wish to do so.
At the same time, he could not but regard with suspi-
cion the fact that Johnson bad gone out of the way.
probably never to be seen again, and thought it likely that
Lord would also get out of the way.
Mr. ADAMS supported the amendment.
After some further dislussion as to the probability that
Lord would voluntarily attend the committee, the house
divided—
For the amendment .
Against it 97
Majority
The amendment being lost, the original motion was
agreed to, and Lord was ordered to attend the committee.
The committee was then appointed, and Lord and
Rothwell were ordered to attend the committee at one
o'clock this day.
The other orders of the day were thep disposed of,
and the house adjourned at a quarter past two,

[ADNICISEMIT.I—HoIIoway's Ointment and Pills.—
John Smith, of Ashton-road, Openshaw, considers it a
duty to make the following statement, although one cure
more or less can be of little consequence to add to their
celebrity ; for two years he suffered a martyrdom with
an uleei•ated leg, all medical assistance having failed to
relieve ;he was induced to obtain these medies, after
the first applcation, the worst symptoms assumed a
milder form, and in a abort time, the wounds were healed,
and health restored, without fear of a relapse.—
