dered, to prove good deal more than
he had stated.
The house then adopted n resolution
directing the special comrnittee o
seven to inquire into the question
whether or not Hon VIM. III. English
has violated the privileges of the iioor
} and whether any ex-member employed
as an attorney In any contested eiec
} ton case or for any railroad or othe
corporation has abused its privilege.
Mr.. English was vigorously defended
/ by Messrs. Randall, and Cox oil New
| York, but no action was taken, though
resolution will probably be adopted
, directing the committee on rules AIS
, to inquire whether Mr.. English NAT
{ violated the privileges Of the floor.
