CrOWuou IO-udy. bfaQlauSn presented himself
at the speakers liable and riI,. <,
take the oath. He was called on BY the speak
er to withdraw and was removed to the bar by
the sergeant-at-armS.
Mr.. Labouchere asked Gladstone whether it
would facilitate his Oath bill if Bradlaugh
meanwhile remained outside. Gladstone de-
clared that the urgency of the Land bill pre-
vented him from offering facilities.
Mr.. Labouchere moved an adjournment in
order to elicit a promise from the Opposition
not to obstruct the Oath bill. Mr.. Bradlaugh,
he said would engage not to present himself at
the speakers table while the bill was progress
ing, and no member on the Liberal side would
avail himself of the right to raise the matter
as question of privilege, as he could else do
daily.
Mr.. Rylands (Liberal) supported the motion,
insisting. that Sir Stafford Northcote now
shrinks from the consequence of his motion
denying Bradlaugh's right to take the OATH
Northcote said he adhered to his action, and
could not promise anything which looked like
a bargain.
John Bright suggested that the opposition
should facilitate the passage of a short act al
lowing any one either to swear or affirm He
stated that the suggestion was merely per-
SOnal one.
Mr.. Gladstone suggested that Labouchere's
Oath bill be dealt with in a series of morning
sittings. He threw the responsibility of the
present difficulty on the opposition. Measures
for carrying yesterdays resolution into effect
must emanate from its supporters. The Gov
eminent, he said, was ready to take them into
consideration.
Mr.. Labouchere having stated that Brad
laugh would not in view of legislation pend
ing at present press his claim to be sworn,
withdrew his motion for adjournment.
1t is believed the Government will introduce
bill on the subject of the oath to be taken by
members of the Commons.
