Bradlaugh and the House OF Commons.
LONDON, August 4th-The Morning Post
charges Bradlaugh with having appealed tc
the street rabble from the decisions of the
House of Commons, and recommends that
Gladstone put his foot resolutely down on
such insolence and vulgarity.
The Daily Nears says We have always
maintained, in accordance with the opinion
of Lord Selborne, the law officers of the
Crown, the late Attorney.G General, and a ma
jority of lawyers, that the right now claimed
by the House of Commons is one which does
not belong to it, which it never exercised be-
fore, and which sooner or later must, If per-
sisted in, bring it into serious conflict with
its constituents. Bradlaugh's own impudence
cannot alter the fact that he has been treated
with the grossest injustice and that he repre-
sents principle Of the highest political i'm
portance.
The Times, commenting on the same, de-
clares that the House of Commons has taken
a false position, and it is the duty of the Gov
ernment plainly and frankly to declare
whether it will introduce the parliamentary
oaths bill as early as possible at the new ses-
sion of Parliament. In the event of doing so,
Bradlaugh will. it is understood, refrain in
the meanwhile from pressing his claim Of ad
mission to the House.
