his seat. On the speaker taking the chair Mr..
Bradlaugh attempted to enter the lobby, but
was confronted by the sergeant-at-arms, the
deputy sergeant-at-arms and force of police,
who barred the passage. Mr.. Bradlaugh,
shouting that he was there in obedience to the
mandate of his constituents, flung himself
upon the police and made desperate effort to
force his way through them. He was elected
into Palace Yard, but evading the police made
another rush fol-. the lobby and was again forci-
bly, elected. Meantime Mr.. Labouchere,
the senior member for Northampton, rose in
the house to question of privilege and moved

ously outside the house of commons, while in
