LONDON, August 3-An immense crowd
of people assembled outside the palace
yard to-day, and cheered Mr.. Bradlaugh
when he entered the yard on his way to
Westminster Hall, some time before the
assembly Of the House of Commons. On
Mr.. Bradlaugh attempting to enter the
House, he was quietly removed from the
lobby, and escorted by the police into the
yard, where he stood couversing with a
friend. In the House OF Commons,
Mr.. Labouchere advanced LiberaD
raised the question of privilege
that the resolution of the House
in regard to Mr.. Bradlaugh, only excluded
him from the House, whereas he had bean
removed f'om the lobby, and he moved
that the officials were therein exceeding
their authority.
The Speaker replied that be considered it
his duty to order Mr.. Bradlaugh's removal,
and added "The door of the House is
closed" The cheers of the crowd outside
the palace yard were audible inside the
House.
Mr.. Gladstone supported the Speaker, and
said that Mr.. Labouchere's motion was un-
tenahle.
After his first repulse Mr.. Bradlaugh re-
yard with his arms folded and three police
men in front of him barring his way to the
House.
Mr. Gladstone declared that Mr.. Brad
laugh must now be treated as having no
more right. to enter the House than a stran-
ger.
Sir Stafford Nortbcote endorsed MIR. Glad
stones view. While Sir Wnfred Lawson
| (RadicaD was sp aking against the Illegal
conduct OF the House, Mr.. Bradlaugh, who
had evaded the police, advanced to force an
/ entrance, but was seized by messenger and
dragged from the doors, when he was taken
in charge bY six policemen, still resisting
strenuously. His coat was torn in the
/ struggle.
The Speaker ruled that the motion of Sir
/ Wilfred Lawson, for resembling the former
/ resolutions against the admission OF Mr..
/ Bradlaugh, were irrelevant, and that the
! question before the House was the conduct
/ of the Speaker in prohibiting Mr. Brad
/ laugh access to the LOBBY.
An amendment 10 Mr.. Labouchere's mo
! tiOn, declaring that the House approves the
4 conduct of the Speaker and of the officials
| under bis orders, was accepted by Mr..
/ Gladstone and Sir Stafford Northcote, aud
was passed. A number Of Liberal members
| quilted the House before the vote was taken
amids. ironical cheers. Mr.. Bradlaugb,
after his expulsion, wentsto Bow Street for
/ a summons against the police.
Mr. Bradlaugh informed Deputy Sergeant
/ at-Afms Erskine, Of the House, that he was
/ there by the mandate Of his constituents and
would not yield to anything Illegal. Upon
| Erskine's putting out his hand to prevent
his passing Mr.. Brsdlaugh pushed
him and was Immediately seized by
another, with whom he grappled,
| iercely shouting, "If any one dares to
1 hinder me-" He was hustled down the
/ members staircase, graphing with the po-
/ Ice and usheTs, but no blows were struck.
He was ghastly pale when he appeared in
the palace yard, and was still struggling
with the police and almost fainting. A
| glass of water was brought and his face was
| hathed. He threatened to come to the
House again with such a force that the po-
lice would be compelled to arrest bin. The
/ police closed the palace yard at 1890 p. N.
! The minority on the resolution of the
! House, as amended, declaring that the
House approved the conduct of the Speaker,
| aud the officials acting under his orders,
/ consisted of Messrs. Digger, Finnegan,
! COwsn, carp, BrOadhurst, Burte and Som
mers, and the tellers were Messrs. La
J bourcEere aud Ashton w. Dixie. Among
/ the Liberals who abstained from voting
were Mr.. Bright and Sir Chss. Dixie. The
summons against the police applied for by
| Mr.. Bradlaugb, at the Bow Street Police
Court, was refused, but the Magistrate ad
vsed him to prepare information in refer
ence to the summons.
The Times in a leading article says: "The
| National Convention of the Land League,
announced 10 be held in Dublin ON the 18th
of September, is obviously intended
] to prevent the land bill from having
any trarquihzisg effect. This is, no doubt,
the last desperate effort of the League to
prOlOng its active existence, to the ruin of
the country. The agitators will try to de-
| feat the settlement of the relations between
landlord aud tenant by the new tribunal,
and It will be necessary for the government
to make it perfectly clear that they intend
to support the decisions of the land court"
A dispatch from Pretoria says: "The
Governor, Sir Hercules Robinson, High
Commissioner for South Africa, explained
the provisions of the proposed convention
with the Beers TO large meeting of native
chiefs. 1t is understood that they were very
much dissatisfied. and expressed their de-
termination to fghtthe Beers If necessary"
The principal amendments to the land bill,
Of which notice has been given by the Con-
servatives in the House of Lords, provide
for the exclusion from the operation of the
bill of estates managed on the English sys-
TEN the extension of the landlords right Of
access to the Land Court, which should be
limited to cases where there is demanded an
increase of rent, the limitation of cOmpen-
satiOn for disturbance to maximum of 4500,
exclusion from benefits of clause of ten
ants WIO nave MaSl60 VI CkuduSbCN lu6
land, the removal of liability 10 pay
compensation to a tenant holding for ju-
dicial term, who received notice to quit Tor
brevet of statutory provision, the substitu-
tion of the late DIR. Isaac Butts definition
of fair rent for the general direction to the
land court now contained in clause z, the
right of appeal from the land court,
under certain Limitation, in matter
of fact as well as law, and the
abrogation of Mr. Psrnell's clause, provid-
ing that, whenever within six months after
the passage of the bill an action for debt is
brought, or is pending against tenant be-
fore or after the application to fix judicial
rent, the court shall have power to stay the
sale, under any writ of execution, of the
tenancy until the termination of proceedings
or the application. The Conservatives
in the House of Lords have not yet
d. cided upon some serious changes, in
GLIDING the clause dealing with leases.
The Times says it is quite certain that the
Ministry aud the House of Commons will
not be willing to accept these large changes,
to which amendment by the Duke of Ar
gyle, Lord Lsnsdowne and other Liberals
will doubtless be added.
