of cessation.
dent of the court of cessation, on the
charges of NJ Quesnay de Beaurepaire,
the former president of the civil section
of that body, will be read before the
committee.
The minister of justice, NJ. Lebret,
introduced the bill and asked that it be
sent to a committee. 1t was read amid
profound silence.
The preamble of the measure, de-
claring that the bill was one necessary
for peace and to restore calm in the
country, was greeted with applause
from the center and murmurs from the
extreme left.
M. Georges Berry, representing the
first division of the Seine, said the
chamber was not aware why the gov
ernment introduced the bill, and asked
for the official publication of the evil
dence in the case of NJ. Bard, who re-
ported on the Dreyfus case to the court
of cessation. (Cheers.)
The premier, NJ. Dupuy, said he did
not wish the chamber to vote in the
dark. He was desirous that full light
be thrown on the subject, and, there
fore, the government would submit to
the committee the complete documents
in the case. (Cheers.)
| The premier then asked the chamber
to proceed with the discussion Of the
budget. NJ. MassaUnau, rallied reput-
lican, representing the Espalion dis
| trict OF Aveyron, expressed surprise
! that the criminal chamber Of the court
was allowed to continue the revision
inquiry. (Leftist protests.)
| NJ. Millerand, radical socialist, first
district of the Seine, reproached the
I government with interrupting tho
, course of justice and with placing the
| matter in the hands of the chamber,
/ which, he added, meant that hence
| forth it would be impossible for any
| thing to be kept secret, and it would
be necessary to publish every thing.
| (Leftist applause.)
| The premier replied that the COM
mittee would have full power to ask
| for the publication of the documents,
and the government would not object.
| If the chamber voted the bill, all the
documents referring to the inquiry
I would have to be submitted to all the
/ members of the court of cessation.
He added: This matter can be
threshed out later and the governments
| will then be willing to reply to all ques-
| tions"
NJ. Faure, nationalist member for the
first division of Algeria, demanded
that the bill be sent to the special com
mittee, thereby preventing the Grim
inal court, whose impartiality is sus-
pected, of taking part in the final de-
csion on the revision
These remarks caused an uproar In
the chamber.
The minister of justice replied that
the conclusions of NJ. Mazau's report
set aside any question as to the .sinceri
ty and rectitude of the magistrates.
The chamber then rejected by vote
of 346 to 1S9 M. Faure's demand and
adopted the governments proposal to
send the bill to the committee intrusted
with such matters.
The house then proceeded to discuss
the budget.
