 ' A An emphatic chorous of "ayes' was fs~followed by a loud nationalist shout of ,z''no.'
 The vote was then taken as already ks Stated, and the speaker said:
 Nss@ esI must oan up3r MT. Redmond, if he esis in any part eff the house, to withdraw V from its precincts"
 t@ssssThe committee then resumed its discus msssion and MT. Clarcy renewed his oppo- @ sition to the harbor vote, saying the r. fiTIancal ccmmittea had established be- Z. Yerd question that Ireland was over ts taxed. The remark was greeted with % cries of "order."
 !-.ss The chairman said he hoped Mir Rs@Clancy would not persist in irrelevanca. SFAsMr. Clancy responded that he thought
 the question of thls overtaXation of Ire %ss lard had every note of the most relevant ts thing he could do and he intended to z press his right to do so
 Wy -After again warning MT. Clancy the tg chairman again remarked "If the hon. &pr2b1e member persists I must ruie hts Nscohduct as being grossly disorderly and Gsrequest him to withdraw"
 x This called forth from MT. Clancy the . remark: "I Icons der your decision unjust l@sand I am not disposed to submit to in- E justice"
 F This statement was greeted with cheers k from the Irish benches and with cries of {0''erder' from other parts of the house. @A As soon as he could be heard the chair @ man said; q have directed the honora-
 ble member to withdraw and I under
 stand he refuses to obey"
 fs q do, exclaimed MT Clancy. Vs> ~"Then 1 call upon the sergeant-at-arms ls to enforce my order" was the next re- % mark of the chairman.
 le It was greeted with cheers and some Ss Irish cries of "coercion."
 S.-ss William Redmond shouted: Send for @ Ith& horse guards! " @The sergeant -at-arms proceeded to Mr. ss~ Cfancys seat and immediately on his ar <. rival there MT. Clancy rose and with drew with the sergeant at arms
 sss William Redmond then asked if it was V in order to direct the sergeant-at-arms to. remove member without the leave of 70 the house
 te "Certt inly," replied the chairman.
 "Are We to understand" asked MT Red- Cs mond, that you may ask the sergeant tes4at-arms ito remcve any one of us?' >@'9s''If members are grossly disOrderly," W answered the chairman, "it is my duty .se to do so under the rules of the house." elis Mr. Redmond retorted Opinions
 may differ as to what Is dfsorderly. I c< consider it not only disorderly, but gross ,. ly criminal to not only rob country, but
 to gag it's representatives. shall take v every opportunity to objecting to Ire "a land talking part in single one of these
 
 tS It has been abundantly proved that Ire
 land is overtaxed"
 =. The chairman interrupted MT. Red fl .mond, saying: There are other and vsssproper opportunities of raising the ques- esa7 tion If the honorable member insists,
 I am afraid I must enforce the same or es-eder."
 sS In spite Of this order MT. Redmond per V sisted saving: Grossly disorderly or : not, I consider 1t to be my duty to pro-
 test against the system of robbery prac- tfced against the Irish people"
 MT. Redmond continuing described the is<s ruling of the chairman as being in the esa nature of an episode in one of Gilbert & s ,Sullvan's operas. and added: z .The chairman is nel. the judge of what @ Should say. was sent here to say what s is necessary in the opinton of my conStit eruents and not what is necessary in the s- opinion of the chairman or the speaker Js of this house. It Is adding insult to ir- SsAjury, that we, who are overtaxed, when tt i've attempt to say so are practically gag .s ged.'
 s.-.rThe chairman again interrupted MT. .sE Richmond, exciaim3ng ''The honorable ass member Is now grossly disorderly and Fs must request him ito withdraw from the = .rerna finder of today's sitting" .szss eaeI certainly will not withdraw" replied 4es MT Redmond, "until you send for the sergeant "a t-arms."
