In the house of commons the other
evening Mr. Sexton, pursuing the arrest of
Mr. O'kelly, asked. in view of the apparent
fact that an Irish member could not be
summoned for an offcnse committed in Ire
land but must be arrested under warrant
if the government would not legislate to re.
lieve Irish members of this special penalty.
Mr.. Matthews. home secretary. denied that
any special penalty was attached to Irish
members. A warrant issued by IN Irish
magistrate could. if indorsed by an English
magistrate. be executed in England; but
there would be great difficulty in issuing
summons in England, which was beyond
the jurisdiction Of an Irish magistrate.
Replying to question Mr.. Balfour said it
was not the practice in England to COM
munlcate with persons whom the crown in
tended to prosecute before the issuance of
a warrant. Mr. Sexton asked whether in
the event of future complaints the govern
;ment would proceed by summons. Mr.
Bafour said the legal advisers of the crown
must decide the matter. If Irish members
made haste to obey summonses issued
against them there would be no difficulty in
agreeing to Mr.. Sections suggestion. but
his experiences had been directly contrary
to this view.

Berlin journals generally consider the
reference of the journal de st, Peters,
6ourg to the personal relations Of the Rus
sian and German courts as indicating the
