BRADLAUGH.

space at the yard to-day, and cheered Brad
laugh when he entered the yard on his way to
Westminster hall some time before the as
sembling of the house committee. On Brad
laughs attempt to enter the house he was
removed from the lobby and escorted by the
police into the yard, where he stood convers-
ing with friend. In the commons La
bauchere raised the question of privilege that
the reason of the house in regard to Brad
laugh only excluded him from the house,
whereas he had been removed from the lobby,
and he moved that the officials were therein
exceeding their authority. The speaker re-
piled that he considered it his duty
to order Bradlangh's removal, and
added that the door of the house was closed.
The cheers of the crowd outside the palace
yard were audible inside the house. Glad
stone supported the speaker, and said Labou-
chere and Lis motion were untenable, After
his repulse Bradlaugh remained some time
standing in the palace yard, with his arms
folded, and three police in front OF him, bar
ring his way to the house. Gladstone de-
clared that Bradlaugh must now be treated as
having no more right to enter the house than
a stranger. Northcote endorsed Gladstoue's
view. While Sir Wilfred Lawson was speak.
ing against the alleged conduct of the house,
Bradlaugh, who had evaded the police,
endeavored to force an entrance, but was
seized by messengers and dragged from the
doors, when he was taken in charge by six
policemen, still resisting strenuously, his
coat being torn in the struggle. The speaker
ruled that the motion of Sir Wilford Lawson
for resembling the former resolution against
Bradlaugh were irrelevant, and that the ques-
ton before the house was on the conduct of
the speaker in prohibiting Bradlaugh's access
to the lobby. After .Broodhurst and Cowan
had spoken of Bradlaugh's right, Hon. John
Bright described how Bradlaugh was brought
down to the Palace yard in fainting con-
dition. He thought such scene was unpre-
cented. He appealed to the opposition to re-
scind their direction so as to extricate them
selves from the present difficulties. BE was
called to order for irrelevancy. Lord John
Manners said Mr.. Bright's attitude was calcu-
lated to encourage Bradlaugh, who had pre-.
cipitated the trouble by forcibly attempting to
effect an entrance. Laboucher's motion de-
claring that the house approves of
the conduct of the speaker and Of
ed by Gladstone and Northcote, and
was passed. A number of liberal members
quilted the halls before the vote was taken
amidst ironical cheers. Bradaugh, after his
expulsion, went to Bow street for summons
against the police. These summons were re-
fused, but the magistrate advised him to pre-
pare information in reference to the summons
desired for assault. The amendment to La
boucher's motion passed, 191 to 9. The mi
nority was composed of Biggar, Finnegan,
Cowen, carp, Broodhurst, Burt, Summers,
Tellers, LabOucher and Ashton w. Dixie.
Among the liberals who abstained from
voting were, Bright and Sir Chas.
Dixie. Mrs. Annie Bessant and two
daughters of Bradlaugh were present in West
minister hall. Two hundred extra policemen
were on duty.
The statement that the first removal of
Bradlaugh in his attempt to enter the house
was effected quietly and appears to be an error.
He made the attempt soon after the business
of the house commenced. He informed Frs
kin, deputy sargeant-at-arms, he was there by
mandate of his constituents, aud would not
yield to anything illegal. On Erskin putting
out his hand to prevent his passage
ately siezed by an usher, with whom he Crap
pied fiercely, shouting: eff any one dares,
hinder mel" He was hustled down the MEM
bers' staircase, graphing with the police and
ushers, but no blows were struck. He was
ghastly pale when he appeared in the police
yard, and was still struggling with the police
and almost fainting. A glass of water was
brought and his face bathed. He threatened
to come to the house again with such force
him. The police cleared the yard at 1:30 p. m.
Bradlaugh, in addressing the delegatesSwho
had come to London to present petitions in
his behalf, said he had not quite recovered
from violence at the hands of the police, but
he intended to 90 to the house of commons
again, choosing his own time.
THE DOREY LITTLE WESTERN.

June IA for New York, was spoken latitude
43 north and longitude 36 west, by the steam
er Donan, which arrived at South America yes
terday. She wanted no assist ance, although
her main boom was broken and the crew said

hour.
BAD FAITH CHARGED.
The Times in leading article says the ma
tional convention of the land league an:
nounced to be held at Dublin the 18th of Sep
tember, is obviously intended to prevent the
land bill from having tranquilizingI effect.
This is no doubt desperate effort of the
league to prolong it's active existence to the
ruin of the country. The agitator's aims will
be to defeat settlement of the relations be-
tween the landlord and tenant by the new tri-
bunal, and it will be necessary for the govern
ment to make it clear they intend to support
the decision of the land court.
