them in every way. Angry shouts rent
the air The benches below the gang
way on the opposition side we're mass
cf mad and struggling humanity Sew

Mr. OBrien: For every member on
these benches the same scene will have
to be re-enacted I do appeal to you,
Mr. Speaker, and to the leader OF the
house to see if he will not let the matter
end now and allow the house TO adjourn.
Tomorrow we shall meet in a better and
differ ~ temper"

appealed to the members named to obey
the ruling of the house whether they
agreed to the course taken or not and
to leave the house peaceably and decent
ly. The response to this was cries Of
mo, no." from the Nationalists. The
speaker then ordered the removal of the
others. Amid renewed hOwls of eXecTa-

carried them by arms and legs over the
benches and out of the house. While Mr.
