had abandoned the merchant shipping
bill for this session. He expressed the
hope that the session would be closed on
the tenth or twelfth of August, and pos
sibly earlier. PlimsOll followed with q
speech, in which he violently attacked
the government, saying the consequences
OF the abandonment would be the de-
struction of thousands of lives. He
spoke vehemently and eXcitedly, used
extraordinary epithets, stamped his feet
and gesticulated wildly, setting the
house in an uproar. Disraeli moved
that PlimsOll be removed from the
house. The speaker ordered Plimsoll to
withdraw, and he went out shaking his
fists at the government bench, and the
house then considered what action proper
to take in regard to Plimsoll's conduct.

as an excuse for his offense, The debate
on the subject was finally adjourned till

mask these villains. In reply to the

sion to members Of the house, and re.
fused to withdraw it. Mr.. Sullivan,
after Plimsoll had left the chamber,
apOlOgetically limited that he was mo-
mentarily insane.
