FROM TIE HOUSE
He Declares His Intention to Again Re-
turn.

LONDON3 aug O.-OOIu0 tllu6 U0lOro Uno as
sembling of the Commons today, on Brad
laughs attempting to address the members, he
was quietly removed from the lobby and es-
corted by the police into the yard, where he
stood conversing with friend Meantime an
immense assembly gathered, cheering him
persstently.
In the House Mr.. Labouchere raised cues
ton of privilege that the resolution of the
House in regard to Bradlaugh, only expelled
him from the House, whereas he had been re-
moved from the lobby, and he moved that the
officials were therein exceeding their authority
The Speaker replied that he considered it his
duty to order Bradlaugh's removal
The cheers OF the crowds outside the palace
yard were audible inside the House.
Mr.. Gladstone supported the Speaker and
After his first repulse, Bradlaugh remained
some time standing in the palace yard with mis-
arms folded, and three policemen in front of
him barring his way to the House.
Mr.. Gladstone declared Bradlaugh must
now be treated as having no more right to en-
ter the House than stranger.
While Sir Wilfred Lawson (RadicaD was
speaking against the illegal conduct of the
House, Bradlaugh who had evaded the police,
endeavored to force an entrance, bnt was
seized by messengers and dragged from the
door, and then taken in charge by six police
men, still resisting strenuously, his coat being
torn in the struggle.
The Speaker ruled that the motion of Sir
Wilfrid Lawson to rescind the former resolu-
lions against the admission of Bradlaugh,
were irrelevant and that the question be-
fore the House was on the conduct of the
Speaker in prohibiting Bradlaugh's access to
the lobby.
After Messrs. Broadhurst NiberaD and
Cowen (Radical Reformer) had spoken in favor
of Bradlaugb, John Bright described how
Bradlaugh was brought down to the palace
yard in fainting condition. He thought such
a scene was unprecedented. He appealed to
the opposition to reconsider their former de-
cision, SO as to extricate themselves from the
present difficulties. He was called to order.
Lord John Manners Conservative said that
Mr.. Bright's attitude was calculated to encour-
age Bradlaugh, who had necessitated his forci-
BILE removal By attempting forcible entrance
An amendment to Mr.. Labouchere's motion
declaring that the House approves the conduct
of the Speaker and of the officials under his
ORDERS was accepted by Mr.. Gladstone and
passed.
A number of Liberal members quilted the
House before the vote was taken, amidst ironi-
cal cheers.
Mr.. Bradlaugh, after his expulsion, went to
Bow street for summons against the police.
Mrs. Annie Besant and two daughters of
Bradlaugh were present in Westminster Hall.
Two hundred extra policemen were on duty.
The statement that the first removal of Mr..
Bradlaugh on his attempting to enter the
House was effected quietly, appears to be an
business of the House commenced. He in
formed MIR. Erskine deputy sergeant-at-arms,
that he was there by mandate of his constitu-
ents and would not yield to anything illegal.
Upon Erskine's putting out his hand to permit
his passage BradlaHgh pushed him and was
Immediately seized by an usher, with whom
he grappled, fiereely shouting "If any one

ace yard and was still struggling with the po-
lice and almost fainting. A glass of water was
brought and his face was bathed. He threat
ened to come into the House again with such a
force that the police would be compelled to
arrest him.
Bradlaugh in addressing the delegates who
had come to London to present petitions in his
behalf, said he had not quite recovered from
the violence at the hands of the police, but he
intended to go the House of Commons again,
choosing his own time.
