INSULTING THE "CHAIR.
Apropos of the cable which appeared" in our yesterday's issue reporting the suspension of four Labour members of the House of Commons, the following! article from the Daily Telegraph of May
end is of timely interest:-.
Members of Parliament who are jealous of the traditions and reputation of the House of Commons viewed with resent. mont and alarm the disorderly utterances and demonstrations of a section of th Opposition in the present Parliament, few days ago the following motion wax talled by half a dozen Unionist members: That this House desires to record its conviction that the dignity of the House and the proper discharge of its duties to the country *ILDI be upheld only by a firm. impartial nul prompt application of the rules laid down by the Houm for the conduct of business and for the main tenance of order in its proceedings, and it looks with confidence to the officers of the House to act in the spirit of this

of privilege, and the Commons have without better transport would be ex- insisted on punitive measures against menters who have offended. The most recent ease of the sort occurred in 1911. when the impartiality of Mr. Speaker Lowther was impugned in a letter written by Mr. J. Wedgwood, the present Socialist member for Newcastle-under-Lyme," The letter, a private one, was addressed to the late Mr. Ginnell, and contained the phrase, (the Speaker) is not a bit impartial," The letter was sent by Mr. Ginnell to an Irish paper, the Midland Reporter, Mr. Ginnell maintaining that he was entitled to publish it, as it was not marked "Privat. Although this reable. Bastion on the Chair was not made in tho House, the matter was brought up for dicussion. Mr. Wedgwood apologised, at the Speaker and the House were con tent. A resolution was, however, moved that the publication of the letter was a breach of privilege, and as Mr. Ginnell remained defiant he was suspended for a werk.

up by Mr. Speaker Lowther, and upon being told not to make reflections on the Chair he withdrew the offending remark,
Present-day proceedings may make members aigh for the time when disorderly conduct in Parliament was punishable by tine. In 1840 Strode moved that "Every one coming into the House who did not take his, place, or did, after taking his place, talk so loud ne to interrupt the business of the House from being heard, should pay a shilling fine, to be divided between the sergeant and the poor."
FLOWERS OF SPEECH, ...
To illustrate the kind of language that is all too commonly heard in Parlin- ment to day, the following examples are culled from the reports:-
In 1905, when the House was consider. ing a motion put down by Mr. Balfour for the closuring of estimates, Mr. John While always keenly resentful of any Ellis, commenting on the unprecedented

In tacuber got no further. He was pulled 1893, Sir John Trevor, who was Speaker, was expelled from the Boure for bribery, There is also the historie occasion in July. 1813, when Mr. Speaker Abbott, at the prorogation of Parliament, took occasion to address the House of Lords, while at tending it the bar, and made a violent speech in opposition to the claim for Catholic Emancipation. The speech was fur- jously denounced, and was debated in the House of Commons during the following session, when Mr. Whitbread said to the Speaker: "You, Sir, used your ears to hear and your eyes to see as private member; and used your tongue as Speaker to give atterance to that which you had no right to state." On that cecasion the Speaker's conduet was indicated. ii
Perhaps the nearest approach to Mr. Newbold's offence is recorded by Mr. Harry Graham in The Mother of Parliaments," Speaker Lenthally it is said, was once subject to the humiliation of havingBaagh!" shouted in his astonished ear. The excuse, given "for this rudeness was that the Speaker at that time did not wear distinctive rob x to give dignity to his office, and the exclamation was uttered na if by one private member to another. In 1884 Mr. T. M. Healy said to Mr. Speaker Peel? "I am glad you' have settled the point to your own satis faction. For this remark the hon. men ber was immediately called to order, and told that his language was not respectful to the Chain or to the Hous. There are many other examples of reflections on the Chair or improper actions or language being dealt with severely. Mr. Michael Macdonagh, in "The Speaker of the
