GREAT BRITAIN.

in committee continued in session throughout
the night on clause II of the repression bill.
At 1880 O'Clock this morning Sir VIM. Har-
court, home secretary, said time equivalent to
two working days had been consumed in the
discussion OF q clause OF secondary impor-
tance. 1t would be for the house and coun-
try to say whether means must not be adopted
to end this state OF things. Parnell said the
home rule members would appeal TO their
countrymen at home and abroad. He con-
tended no opposition could be more reason
ably conducted against such an atrocious
measure.
At $50 o'clock DR.. Lyon Playfair, chair
man OF the committee, said there had been
deliberately planned an obstruction to the
business OF the house. Messrs. Biggar, Cal
Ian, Commins, Dillon, Healy, Leamy, Nc
Power. Redmond, Sexton and Sullivan were
then suspended and quilted the house. At lO;-
IS O'Clock, the chairman reported that O'Don-
nell had said the statement of the
chairman was infamous. Right Hon. Hugh
c. Childers, secretary of war, gave notice
that he would move to consider O'Donnell's s
conduct on Monday, and it was agreed to
take up the matter on that Gay.
O'Donnell declared that DR.. PIayfair's
naming him was Infamous, because he had
been absent from the house all night and was
therefore foully named. The chairman had
sinned against all the traditions of his Office.
Childers moved the suspension of the mem
bers named, and suspension was voted 126 to
"a, amid loud cheers from all parts of the
house, including the Irish members. The
speaker entered the house and the pro.
ceedIngs were reported to him. One member
protested that he had been in the house twelve
hours during which. SO far as he was aware,
neither Callan or Marion had spoken.
Clause eighteen, which declared that per-
son guilty of an effense against the act shall
be liable on summary conviction to imprison-
ment at hard labor for a term not exceeding
six months was then taken up. McCann.
home rule member for Wicklow, moved an
amendment reducing the penalty to three
1t might be necessary to ask urgency, and
that notice, therefore, would be given this
afternoon. The house at 2:30 p. m. was still
in session and likely to be until midnight.
Fresh relays of members are arriving this
forenoon. Jas. Cowen gave notice he would
ask Monday whether the suspension of the
Irish members was regular.
Clause No. Is was adopted, 1856 to 90. The
government had previously consented to limit
the penalty for attending proclaimed meetings
and for night prowling to three months in
prison, but they opposed the amendments for
reduction in regard to the other offenses men
toned in the clause, and those amend
ments were rejected on motion.
Harcourt stated the government wished in
the present sitting to go through all the
clauses in the original draft OF the bill, except
postponed ones.
Gladstone stated that on Monday the rules
for urgency would be proposed.
Clause nineteen, relating to the court OF
summary jurisdiction was dropped to be re-
placed by an amended clavse.
Clause twenty, relating to the proclamation
of districts, was carried Is to 10.
During the afternoon the chairman named
Byrne, Corbet, Gray, Lalor, Leahy, A. O'Con-
nor, O'Kelly, O'Sullivan and Thiel, and their
suspension was moved by Gladstone. Pend
ing adoption OF the motion the members
walked out of the house.
The motion was agreed to without division,
but when the speaker, according to rule, ap-
peared to receive report of the proceedings,
q division was called for and the suspension
confirmed, 1913 to7.
After expulsion Of the second group of Irish
members, all the clauses up to the 30sh were
adopted without division. Clause so, which
is tue last of the bill, and which provides this
act shall continue in force until three years
next after passage thereof, was adopted, SO to
81.
The house adjourned at s D. m, having,
with the exception Of the interval of two
hours in last evenings sitting, been in session
continuously thirty-two hours.
