course will nave to be gone through
with all. But if I may appeal to the
leader of the House would ask if he
could not allow the matter to rest now
tTory cries of dissent). If you could
edjourn it might be best. If that cam
not be done every member on these
benches will have to be removed
The Speaker-The only suggestion
that can make is that honorable mem
bers should observe the rules of the
House first, and on a division being
called and they having been named
that they should retire from the House
peacefully. Let them make whatever
protest is considered necessary at Il
future time. This scene is very dis
tressing to English as well as
Irish members, but would point out
that their duty now is to retire peace
ably, and appeal to them to do that.
Irish Members-We won't go.
There We're cries, chiefly from the
opposition benches, at this point of
"Asquith," who appeared to have an
inclination to intervene, but the right
honorable gentleman contented HIM
self with short whispered converse
ton with Mr.. Speaker, who, at its con-
clusion, said: call upon Mr.. McHugh
to leave the House.
The member for Sligo declined, and
was. carried down the gangway by Il
posse Of policemen and attendants,
and then, struggling somewhat, was
taken out Of the House. The same
scene was repeated in the case Of Mr..
Loudon.
Mr.. Abraham was next. As the
honorable member was being carried
out he shouted "God Save Ireland!"
and the Irish members who remained
cheered loudly.
Mr.. McGovern did not appear to be
in the House when he was named, or
the officials were unable to identify
him. At any rate, he was passed over.
The speaker then named Mr.. Doc
gan. The honorable member, who was
sitting on one of the cross benches,
quietly but firmly declined to obey the
order of the speaker, and was lifted
by six constables and taken into the
lobby.
The speaker next named Captain
Donelan.
Captain Donelan-I refuse to leave,
sir. Qrish cheers)
Thereupon the captain was forcibly
elected by the police and attendants
amidst loud cheers from the Irish
members. The Irish members then
rose and sang "God Save Ireland"
after which they cheered loudly.
A large posse of police then proceed
ed to remove Mr.. Flavin, who was
next named. He was seized and
borne down the gangway and along
the floor into the outer lobby. AS he
was being removed from the House
Mr.. Flavin called out, amidst laugh
ter, Gail right; 1 don't intend to hurt
anybody"
When he was got outside the speak
er said: Order, order; the House will
now resume Committee, and I trust
the honorable members when divi-
sion is called again will clear the
House. (Cries Of mo, no." from the
Irish members.)
Mr.. Mannetti-We will not leave;
you may as well suspend us all at
once. (Cries of "Order.')
The House then resumed Committee,
and the chairman put the vote once
more. A division was challenged, but
there being no tellers proposed against
the vote, the chairman, amid minister
ial cheers, declared that there being
no tellers for the noes" the "ayes"
had it.
The speaker again took the chair,
and it being five minutes after one
o'clock, the speaker declared the
House stood adjourned.
There were cries of Robbery" from
the Irish benches, followed by cheers.
No further incident occurred, and the
House soon dispersed.
