MR, BOTTOMLEY'S EXPULSION,

HIS LETTER TO THE HOUSE OF COMMONS.

COL WAED'S SYMPATHY. The first order of the day on the paper in the House of Commons on August 1st waS entitled "Attendance of Mr. Horatio Bot tomley."

The Speaker made the following intima. tion to the House: I have received from Mr. Bottomley a letter which I will read

to the House:

*

To the Right Hon. the Speaker, House

of Commons.

"Sir-I have been acquainted with the invitation to attend in my place on Tuesday, when I gather that a motion will be made for my expulsion from the House. It was my earnest desire to avail myself of this opportunity of placing before ray fellow inembers certain aspects of recent events, in the hope they might have been induced to modify any adverse view which they had formed, and were justified in forming having regard to what has happened, to place me in my present position. But regret that I am unable to leare the hospital, and, in these circumstances, I crave leave, Sir, through you, to place a short statement before the House,

"

"I desire, first of all, Sir, to express wy deep sorrow at having brought this slur upon the House of Commons, which I can honestly say I have loved, as I have loved my country and by King. To be a member of it was the dream of my youth and the joy of my manhood, and to my dring day it will be an ever-abiding grief that I have in any way been the cause of sullying its fair name.

"But if the truth were knowl. Sir, s some day it may be, I believe the House, in its generosity, would grant me not only its forgiveness, but also ita sympathy. It would be futile at this stage, and possibly irregular, to reopen the sordid proceedings with which the public have been ausent ed. and which have kept me on the rack for the past year. A jury has found me guilty, as indeed is surprising after the strong direction of the learned judge who tried the case; and the Court of Appeal has not seen its way to uphold certain objections, taken on the advice of eminent counsel, and having nothing to do with the merits "of the case to the conduct of the trialy whilst the learned Attoney-General, in his discretion, has declined to issue his fiat, without which an appeal to the House of Lords is impos- sible, despite the fact that the application for such fiat was supported by one of the greatest lawyers at the Bar to-day. And so, Sir, the matter rests there, and I do not see how the House, in the circumstances, can be asked to depart from its anal practice in

such cases.

of

110t

But, Sir, that fact does not debar me, while still a member, from giving my solemn assurance; in the name of everyone and everything which I cherish and soul hold dear on earth, and on my and honour, that whatever irregularities there may

have been, and however unorthodox may have been my methods, in the conduct of concerns carried on, more or less, in contravention of ancient laws (but with the most patriotic motives, yielding the Government large sums whet money was sorely zeeded), I have not been guilty of any conscious fraud. Sir, I have always endeavoured to respect the amenities the House, and I would rathér my tongue were torn out by the roots than tell it a lie, nor am I a canting religionist. But there is one word I never take in vain, and I ask leave to quote the concluding sentence of my evidence at the trial: I swear before God, I said, that I have never attempted to make a penny out of the clubs, and I swear, before God Sir, hose that I have never done so." Rolemp words, after two months' solitary confinement in a prison cell for twenty-three out of every twenty-four hours, and mach searching of spirit, I repeat to-day. The truth of them will be put to the test, the searching test, in proceedings now pending in the Court of Bankruptcy, to which I have been driven mainly owing to financial sacrifices I. have made for the benefit of the very concerns I am said to have robbed. "But, Sir, it is all my own fault, and I bear nobody any ill-will. My only regret is that I am no longer free to assist in clearing up the confusion, and chaos which have urisen, and to do something to relieve any cases of hardship which may remain, but the number and extent of which have been greatly exaggerated. Still, if I live through my sentence, and am fortunate. enough to retain my strength and mental faculties, that work will be my first care.

Among the comments on these innova. tions there is some tendency to suggest that they are only the thin edge of the wedge. The Nationalist Deutsche Tages- seifuag writes: Actually this will be the surrender of German sovereignty. Henceforth we stand like aay Bakkan State or nigger Republic, under the con trol and supervision of our enemies and tyrants. The Wirth Government may say what it will The Entente will acon show it who is going to settle Germany's fin ance, it, or the Cabinet of the Reich."

On the formal motion of Mr. Chamberlain,

The Clerk at the table read the letter, dated May 29th, from Mr. Justice Salter to the Speaker, announcing the conviction at the Central Criminal Court. It was in the following terms:

"I have to inform you that Horatio Bottomley, a member of the House of Com- wons, was convicted before me at this Court to-day of misdemeanour, and was sentenced to seven years' penal servitado."

Mr. Chamberlain I beg to move:

"That Mr. Horatio Bottomley be expelled this House,”

I suppose that no more painful duty can fall to the Lender of the House for the time being thad to make such a motion in relation to a member of this House. It would be infinitely more painful to me if I thought that the House would expect me to traverse the ground covered by the letter wirich has been read from the Chair, to comment on any of the pleas put forward by the hon member, or to point out any of the inaccuracies of fact into which he has fallen. I conceive that this House would never desire to question in respect of one of its members that which it upholds as regards "In the menotime I must submit to the all other citizens the sanctity of the only cruel fate which has overtaken mo," and of ministration of justice by our public

It is the very refinement, duties of a member to and in the House any sentence which a Court of Tear that the privileges of the House and the the apotheosis of torture, and, added to were in some way affected by the judgment. the strain and affering of prison life, equals Not conceiving that the present is a case of any torment any man has ever been called that kind, I confine myself, as I hope the upon to endure.
