In England.
The atmosphere of the English Parliament
Is fetid with scandal. Shocking charges
are freely brought against both young and
old. Politicians, needless of debates, are dis
cussing only the latest scandals. 1t seems as

criminal law amendment bill, previously un-

of the session, and the House is crowded
