Former Parliamentary Privileges.


The privilege Of freedom from arrest
enjoyed by members CT parliament is
confined to civil matters; bat, since the
abolition of Imprisonment for debt, this
immunity MSS been shorn of most of its
utility. Formerly it was very useful
privilege. Disraeli says of one of the
characters in his first novel, "Vivian
Grey" that 1.-THE only way to keep him
out of the house of correction was to
get him into the house of commons. :"
Parliament was then a convenient haven
of refuge for Splendid paupers. -
In one case an English member named
Mills, who owed e23, 600 ald for whose
arrest a warrant was in the hands of
the sheriff, avoided imprisonment by
purchasing a seat for one of the old
''rotten boroughs'' in 1907 for the sum
of 81, 600. In another case an Irishmau
named Bourke was confined in the
Kings Bench prison about 30 years
ago in execution for considerable debt
His friends got him elected for an Irish
constituency, but he never entered the
house. On his release after election
he fled to the continent and remained
there.
Again in 1925 the year before Dis
raeli published "Vivian Grey" man
who was in prison for debt was returned
for Bererley, small English borough,
and was forthwith released ON war.

case in real life of from the house of
correction to the house of commcns.-

The Amesburys made their first APP
pearance of the season in this city at the
auditorium last evening and they made a
very poor impression. They were clearly
outclassed by the Por,lands who were in
great form and who were out TO play
one of their star games. Never did the
visitors have the slightest show of vic
tory and the locals won in the hollowesi
kind Of fashion.
All Of the home team played strongly,
Jason being especially brilliant.
For the visitors Scri5ner did fairly
well and Allen give indication of his old
time form, not only taking care of the
goall but also looking after every ball
that came anywhere near the cage.
II the Amesburys hope to make any
showing in tho race, they must take a
big brace.
Before the game the South Portlands
defeated the Lovclls by a score of 8 to O.
The South Portlands have now played
three games and have won them all.
