House Of Commons. The Speaker read
q letter from BradlauRh, declaring the
House having refused TO hear from him
or his commitments, he should present
himself and do all the law required in an
endeaVor to sit and vote. The Marquis
OF harrington, secretary of war, said
government would introduce a bill at
oace, authorizing members to make
affirmation.

pose the bill as strongly as possible.

the arrest OF Resly.

the government had given no precedent
for its action in regard to Hesly. The
