Spicy Debate in the House of Commons
LONDON. May Gin the House of Commons
tonight the Marquis of Harrington asked when
the debate on the privileges of the House
would be resumed and Budget discussed.
Disraeli replied that there was no immediate
prospect of resuming the debate, which was
Unexpectedly terminated Tuesday night. He
intended, however, when his attention was
again called to the presence of strangers that
division be taken to decide whether the CALLER
les shall be cleared. The government was
charged with wasting time over the question OF
privilege. but opposition to the Irish peace
preservation bill was the real obstruction. The
Irish members were justified in opposing It,
and the government was equally lustlhed Ia
seeking to have it passed. At this point Dis
the subject of inquiry by the Marquis of Hart
ingtOn.
He resumed his remarks and stated that al
lowing for fair opposition, he believed 1T
would be possible to prorouge parliament IN
July. The government was determined to
PASS all its measures even if in order to be able
to do so it should find it to be its duty to adj
wise the Queen not to prorogue the session un'
til all of them had received the royal sanction.
He added that the government INTENDED TO
open the discussion OF the Budget FRIDAY morn
ing.
Gladstone rose and said he regretted the tone
of Disraellis' remarks. sThe House was entitled
to respectful treatment event rom the Premier.
Never before had he heard Such statement as
that relative to the passing Of the government
measures. The Right Hon. gentlemen threat.
ened to keep the House sitting till number OF
unspecified bills were passed. Was that be-
coming method of procedure on the part OF the
head of her majesty's government? In such
tone was again adopted be (Gladstonel would
feel it his duty to avail himself of his privileges
as private member. He protested with en-
phasis against morning discussion OF the
morning Budget
DIsraeli consented to take up the budget in
the evening session. The consideration OF the
Irish peace preservation act which has bee n
nine days under debate, was then resumed In
committee and concluded. Bill was passed IN
committee with important amendments, by
which the penalty for the unlawful possession
of arms is reduced, and the right to search
houses limited to the day time. The House has
yet to take final action on the bill.

MATTERS In MAINE.
Lewiston Liquor Agency Case.
Briant, the Defauliing Liquor Cemmis-
siOner lis Discharged ON the Ground that
He Was Never the Legally Constituted
Agent of the CITY.
MATTERS In MAINE.
Especial to the Press.1

LEWISTON, May 6.-The trial of Il. Willard
Briant late liquor agent of Lewiston, for the
larcenous embezzlement of $500, came to a
sudden and somewhat unpleasant end this af-
ternoon. The chief defence of the accused as
argued by his counsel. Ex-Judge Tapley, lay in
the fact that Briant did not receive from the
city government the certificate required by the
statute Defence therefore denied that hs was
ever legally constituted the city's agent. There
was:therefore no embezzlement. The prosecu-
ton argued that by having executed bond as
agent, acting as agent, buying and selling
liquors as such, Briant was estopped from de-
nying agency.
The Court ruled that Judge Tapley's point
was well taken aud that no verdict could Ee
brought against the defendant. The County
Attorney therefore entered a mol pros, and the
case was ended before it had reached the jury.
This decision of the case places Brant in the
position of a man who has sold liquors lille
gally, and he may be prosecuted for each indi-
vdual sale. His sales books are held by the
city on a writ of replevin. Judge Walton took
occasion to rebuke the loose and careless
method of conducting city affairs, which has
resulted in this mol pros. NJ
