MR.. BRIGHT, TAKEN TO TASK, REPLIES.
LONDON Juno 1s.-Sir Stafford Northcote, the
Conservative leader, this afternoon, in the House
of Commons, called attention to John Bnghts
speech at Birmingham last Thursday, and declared
that Mr. Bight's statement ON that occasion that
the Conservatives are in alliance with the Irish
rebels in preventing the House from doing work
was unfcunded, and he moved that the utterances
of Mr.. Bright be declared breach of privilege.
Mr. Bright who was much cheered rising to
respond said that he had q right to speak with
great freedom to his constituency. The
term "alliance.' he said, was capable of mean
ing that he did not intend, but it was the
cne that first occurred to him. Perhaps he
ought TO have been more careful, but he affirmed
that there was combined action between the Con-
seryatiyes and the Irish members in both debate
and division to worry and destroy the Ministry.
He was panied to witness the manner in which
some members of the House clamOred at the
Premier. Such conduct was modern innovation.
Mr. Bright commented on the existence of societies
in America which were disloyal TO the British
Crown and which were sending funds to similar
disloyal societies IN Great Britain. IT, he sad the
Irish members of Parliament would diSavow con-
nectiOn with the disoyal societies in America and
declare their loyalty TO the Crown, he would with
draw the word rebel" aud apologize for having |
used it,
Thomas Power OConnor, member for Galway, |
also addressed the House In the course OF his |
speech he referred TO Mr. Brights vain old age"
which remark elected loud protests from many |
members.
Mr.. Gladstone followed Mr.. OConnor. He de- |
clared that the portion objected to OF Mr. Brghts
speech at Birmln CHAM was not breach OF prlyl- |
that had Just been made by MIR. OConnOr concern
In Mr. Brights declining years. and regretted the
course taken by some members IN regard to the BIZ
mlngham affair. As matter OF fact be thought that
Mir. Bngbts explanation entirely satisfactory.
Sir Stafford Northcote's motion that the utter |
ances of<Mr Bright be declared breach of priv- |
lege was rejected by vote of 81 nays against III
yeas The division wasalmost entirely party one |
In character The Pamellites voted with the Con- |
servatives in favor of the motion.
