went below the bar but this did not aat,1fE the
House, and he ultimately obeyed tho order to
withdraw BY going up the ateps Of the lords
gallery, and standing there during the discsseion
which took place relative to bic case. Sir B.
Hall then stated that Mr. Salomons was anxious
to try. before the legal tribunals of the countrv.
his right to sit in the House M the representa-
tive of the people Of Greenwich and the Hon.
Baronet Ushed to know whether what had been
done was enough to induce the government to
instruct the attorney general to prosecute the
honorable gentleman, in order that the question
might be fairly and fully tried. In the absence
of Lord John RUSSELL the chancellor Of the ex-,
chequer was not prepared to reply to the ques-
ton on the instant; and he suggested that ii 90
grave matter the House s,ould take time for
deliberation and inquiry, and postpone the sub
ject until Monday. After brief, but rather
warm discussion, this suggestion was agreed to.
On Thursday. the speaker announced that he
had received letter from Mr. Salomons, COM
planning that the minutes of Fridays pressed
ings contained no mention of the document
which he attempted to read at the table OF the
house, and afterwards handed in The speaker
said that those minutes properly excluded men

Mr.. Snlomons had been ordered to withdraw.
Sir b. Hall asked whether the government
would authorize prosecution of Mr. Salom6ns
for the acts he had done upon that occasion.
Lord John Russell replied that he did not
consider that prosecution ought at present to
be ordered by government
Sir b. Hall said that the only course then
open to Mr.. Salomons was to take his seat in
the house.
Upon this intimaton, Mr.. Salomons, who had
been sitting under the gallery, came down into
the house, and took his seat in the front Of the
liberal benches, between Sir w. Molesworth and
Mr.. c. Anstey. This step was followed by the
very noisy manifestations Of appreciation aud the
reverse, which lasted for some time.
The speaker ordered Mr.. Salomons to with
draw, but that gentleman did not obey the order.
An excited discussion arose, which continued
for several hours. Mr.. Salomons persisted in
keeping his seat, and in voting on three dflersnt
motions that came up, subjecting himsSK to
f500 fine each time. At length, after an ibef.
fsctua attempt to adjourn, the house divided on
the original motion, that Mr.. Salomons do
