HOUSE OF COMMONS-LAST'.IGHT.

Agreeably to arrangement, the house resumed discussion on
the question of administering the oath to Mr. Salomons, the
newly elected member for Greenwich. There was a large at-
tendance of members, and the strangers' galleries were com-
pletely filled.—The SPEAKER read a letter he had received
from Mr. Salomons, complaining of inaccuracies in the pub-
lished minute of Friday's proceedings, and asserting that he
had taken all the oaths required to enable him to take his seat
in the way most binding on his conscience.—Sir B. HALL re-
mated the questions which he had put on Friday, and which
he had postponed till to-day, at the request of the Chancellor
of the Exchequer, in order that Lord John Russell might be
present. It was, whether Mr. Salomons having taken a seat
within the bar after having been ordered to withdraw, the go-
vernment would direct the Attorney-General to prosecute Nina
for the penalties.—Lord JOHN RUSSELL, whilst reserving to
thegovernment the order of acting as it might think proper,
might state that at present the government were not disposed
to prosecute Mr. Salomons.—Sir B. HALL said that, under the
circumstances, Mr. Salomons would enter the house, take his
seat, and vote.—Mr. Salomons, who was sitting under the gal-
lery, quickly left his seat, and entering. within the bar, sat
down beside Mr. Anstey and Sir W. Molesworth. Great ex-
citement prevailed in the hone. Mr. Bernal Osborne rapidly
left his seat and put a paper in the hands of the Speaker.—The
SPEAKER intimated that a motion had been put into his hands,
but as the question before the house was one of order, it had
precedence.—Lord J. RUSSELL appeared at the table, but so
great was the hubbub in the house. that he could not proceed-
-The SPEAKER said, that if Mr. Salomons refused to obey the
order of the Speaker, it was for the house to support the
Speaker ; the order ought to be enforced by a vote of the
house.—( " Withdraw, withdraw." )—Lord JOHN RUSSELL
said that he rose to support the Speaker, and would, therefore,
move that Mr. Alderman Sa:omons be ordered to withdraw.
(Loud cries of " Withdraw, withdraw," and ";\o, no.")—Mr.
BERNA L OSBORNE begged the Speaker to read the amend-
ment which lie had put into his hands. The amendment was
to the etToct that Mr. Alderman Salomons was entitled to take
his seat.—Mr. ANSTEY proceeded to argue the question as a
judicial one, when he was brought to a halt by cries of
Withdraw, withdraw," and "Question, question." He
moved that the debate he adjourned.—On a division, Mr.
Anstey's motion was negatived by 257 to 65.—Mr. Salomons
was understood to have voted in this division. He continued
to occupy the same seat.—The debate on Lord John Russell's
motion was then resumed. Mr. ANSTEY cited various autho-
rities to show that no legal enactment existed to prevent Mr.
Salomons from taking his seat, and asserted that the question
was one of privilege, with which the House of Lords had no
right to interfere.—Mr. B. OSBORNE again rose to address the
house, but was called to order by the Speaker, and compelled,
amidst much confusion, to resume his seat.—Mr. Host-toys%
argued that any person elected might sit and vote, provided
be was willing to incur certain penalties, according to statute,
which ought to be settled by a court of law. (Hear.)—
Mr. M. Ginsorf urged that Mr. Salomons and the electors of
Greenwich were entitled to the benefit of the doubt which
existed upon this subject.
