She was arrested on May 22nd, following the Coroner's verdick after an inquest lasting some months and which, was adjourned no fewer than fourteen times.

The Speaker ruled that the Bill retained its original skeleton, bat it had since been clothed with flesh and blood...

Sir William Joynson-Hicks, the Home Secretary, expressed the opinion that it would be only fair for the House to respect the work of its own "Committee by allowing the Bill to proceed.

A Labour motion to re-commit the Bill was defeated by 114 votes to 104.

Nevertheless, owing to the cop- gested programme and the opposi- tion evinced, it is very doubtful whether the Government will grant further facilities for the discussion of the Bill, which is now generally regarded as dead.
