LONDON, April 27.-The House of Com
mons adjourned last night, on melton of Mr..
Joseph Cowen, Radical, to give time for
cool reflection on the course to be pursued
in Mr.. Bradlaugh's case.
Mr.. Gladstone persistently refused to in
tervene to give effect to the motion of Sir
Stafford Northcote, which was adopted,
that Mr.. Bradlaugh be not permitted to
take the oath. Mr.. Gladstone would, he
declared, take no step until he thought it
could be taken with advantage.
The House of Commons is very crowded
to-day. Mr.. Bradlaugh presented himself
at the Speakers table and claimed his right
to take the oath. He was called upon by
the Speaker to withdraw, and was removed
to the bar by the Sergeant alarms.
Mr.. Labouchere asked Mr. Gladstone
whether it would facilitate his oath bill if
Mr.. Bradlaugh meanwhile remained out
side.
Mr.. Gladstone declared that the urgency
OF the land bill prevented him from offer
ing facilities.
Mr.. Labouchere moved an adjournment
of the House in order to elicit a promise
from the opposition not to obstruct his oath
bill. Mr.. Bradlaugh, he said, would engage
not to present himself at the Speakers
table while the bill was progressing, and no
member on the Liberal side would avail
himself OF his right to raise the matter as
qut stion OF privilege, as he could else do
0aily.
Mr.. Rylands (LiberaD supported the mo-
tion, insisting that Sir Stafford Northcote
now shrank from the consequence of his
motion denying Mr.. Bradlaugh's right to
take the oath.
Sir Stafford Northcote said he adhered to
his action, and could not promise anything
which looked like a bargain.
Right Hon. John Bright, Chancellor of
the Ducby OF Lancaster, suggested that the
opposition facilitate the passage Of a short
act allowing any one either to swear or
affirm. He stated that the suggestion was
merely personal one.
Mr.. Gladstone suggested that Mr.. Labou-
chere's oath bill be dealt with in a series of
morning sittings. He threw the RESPONSE
bility for the present difficulty on the oppo
sition. Measures for carrying yesterdays s
resolution into effect must emanate from
Its supporters. The government, he said,
was ready to take them into consideration.
Mr.. Labouchere then said that in view of
the pending legislation, Mr.. Bradlaugh
would.n at present press his claim to be
sworn in. He (Mr. Laboucherel therefore
withdrew his motion to adjourn, hoping
that the government would introduce a bill
on the subject of the oath to be taken by
members of the House.
