HONGKONG,

An incident unique in Parliamen tary history occurred in the House of Commons when the Speaker of a sister legislative assembly arrives and took his place as an ordinary member of Parliament. The distinguished visitor was Major O'Neill the Speaker of the Ulster House of Commons, who sits in the Imperial Parlament as the Coalition Unionist member-for Mid Antrim,

Major General Seely (C. S. Reston) who rose to speak on the Coin

Production Acts (Repeal) Bill shorily after Major O'Neill entered the House, referred to the presence of the Speaker of the Lister Parliament. He said: In addressing the Chair at this moment it is not out of place to call attention to the fact that for the

we have

first time in the history of this House the Speaker of another Hause sitting on the floor of the House. May I be permitted to veice the congratulation at every member of the House on the honour that has

been conferred on the Speaker of our sister assembly, and to wish him all success in the tenure of his office. (Cheers,)
