LONDON GOSSIP. Mi Gwt Davis tKd not turn up on Friday ni^ht. It is won«lorfi'i 1 how important personage he has? fescwiie. The inquiries after him were innumerable. He was never so populardn his days of attendance as he is now in thedaya of his absence. On the other hand, Dr. Tanner did turn Tip. Some thirty detectives were waiting to liltop hisentrance-so it iii:F;dd-but he came down in a closed cawiage with Dr Fitzgerald, and, bioi foot 'Once within the sacred precincts of the Royal Palace of Westminster. he was as safe as though he had taken refuge iø the Aisatia of old. There was a lively demonstration when he enterod the House, and the doctor explained that he had crossed the aanal, and somehow managed to alight safe at St Stephen's. A question which is being »sk«d on many hands is how long the Commission may now be expected to last, and thereis a general disposition to believe that lis end is not iar distant. Before "the letters" were tuitc-L- ed, the Attorney-General had exhausted the main portion of his evidence on every branch of the case except the Americaa, and .that, being partly opened, he is now proceeding with. This naay occupy a fortnight or, at the most, three weekt and as the Nationalists state that they intend confining their evidence to the leading facts charged against them, Easter, the date I gave last night for the probrtble close of the whole inquiry, should not prove too early. The session did not open very auspiciously. Its fcturs course is now altogether problematical. The debate on the Address v.hicffi hitherto has been a debate on the motion of censure did not conclude with the defeat of the vote of censure to-night. It will be renewed on Monday, and there if? now very little prospeefc of its being coneluded before the end of next week. 'There are now six amendments to the Addwws. Dr Clark has put down a > resolution in favour of the-establishment of "a National Legislative Assembly for Scotland." This is oua 1 development. But the salient fact is the development; 1 of excitement. Another vote of censure will follow the < conclusion of the debate. It will have reference to the Special Commission. It will be -directed against the J Government as a whole, and net to any particular » member of it. Thereafter we are promised some 1 confusion, for the more progressiva members of the 1 Opposition are growing mort., and more in favour of t rendering it impossible for the present Government to 1 carry on business without an appeal to the country. "It cannot last long'' said one very well known Liberal 1 statesman last night, "and we should be weakening 1 ourselves if we brought it to an end by means which, if j used against us, would render parliamentary go vara man t. f almost impossible." n On Friday, the crowded House was beginning to turD) ;its attention upon Mr Gladstone, when a commotion was heard at the door, and Dr Tanner was discovered: 'bursting in in catapult fashion through the group of members who happened to be standing at the bar. As soon as he was recognised aloud cheer was sent up from the Opposition side, some men going into fits of uncontrollable laughter at this comical triumph over Mr Balfour's authority. Mr Balfour, attracted by the noise, turned and saw the man who, according to his instructions, ought to have been in prison long ago. A smile spread over his expressive countenance, after u I-le which he turned his head away, and resolutely disregard- ed the scene. Dr Tanner has certainly profited in health by'his adventures, wherever they may have 'been carried out. He looks in capital health, and was naturally in high gpirits. It is said that he approached the House in disguise, and so circumvented the cordon of watchful poliee. I believe the fact is that he simply drove up at a rapid (pace into the covered courtyard in a closed carriage and pair, which is truly disguise enough for an Irish member.. Once inside the courtyard, he had but to take a cjuple of steps to pass the portal leading into the tabby of the House and, this gained, he was safe as long as the House was sitting and till he had voted against the Government He cheerily expects to be arrested when he leaves the House. Whatever other consequence may follow from the collapse of Mr Richard Pigott and of the forged letters one thing is certain. Sir Richard Webster will be the last Attornev-General who will be permitted to take private practice. The Attorney-General is extremely well paid, though not so well paid as the most successful of practising couasel. He gets £ 7,000 a year from a grateful country, and in addition is granted fees, which amounted a year or two ago to more than £ 5,090. Twhr- thousand a yetir is not bad pay, but there are advocate* who have made their fifteen to twenty thousand. Thoy would not be available as attorneys-general if private practice were cut off from them. Above all, they would decline to take the risk of losing all their business by wifhdrawal from the arena. But the impossibility of separating the barrister iu private practice from the attorneys-general, who is a member of her Majesty's Government, has been made clear that future attorneys- general will be expected to give their whole time to the high duties of their office. If that will be arranged, the Conservatives will support the reform. Mr Gent-Davis will resign in the course of a day or two. He has been plainly told that it is impossible for him to retain his seat. He won Kennington at the last election by a majority of 430. He beat Mr Beaufoy in 1886, but has come such a cropper that Mr Beaufoy has now the advantage of the situation. The Conservative candidate will be Mr Beresford-Hope, jus., a man almost unknown in the constituency, and not likely to bring himself that local support which Mr Gent-Davis was able to command because he was engaged in business in the division.

Having for more than two years suffered the most excruciating agony from Neuralgia, and Faceache. with scarcely a moment's ease, though I tried every medicine and remedy recommended by my doctors and friends, even to being galvanised daily for six Weeks, but was unable to obtain any relief or have a single night's sleep for twelve months there seemed no hope of my recovery. My friends expected that tny mind must give way and I should die. As a last tesource I was recommended to apply to Mr Daven- Port, Chemist, Queen-square, Wolverhampton, who tntnediately eased my pain, and in a short time quite °ured me. I never afterwards lost my rest, and I heartily recommend every poor sufferer to try this feally marvellous remedy. KATE CROSSE, Newhall Pierage, Burt-on-Trent, Mr Davenport can be con- sulted at the Apothecaries Hall, Criccieth.

tnm titt flapers. 1" Mr (voscheci has under consideration a proposal tor an issue of II banknotes, this being in addition to the provision ftstr which the right hon. gentleman intends to ask Parliament to enable him to carry out his scheme for the restoration of the gold coinage. Sir Tbos. Gladstone, Baronet, eldest brother of the Liberal Jeader, lies dangerously ill at his residence, Fasque House. Kidcardenshire. The latest information was to effect tihat the illness had assumed a more seriouii form. Sir Thomas is in his eighty-fifth year. A shocking accident occurred on Thursday at the Vairxhall Colliery, Ruabon. An employb named Thomas Williams, residing at Rhosllanerchrugog, was engaged placing waggons at the pit's meuth, and by accident he pushed one of the waggons into the shaft, and was precipitated with it to the bottom of the pst, and smashed to pieces. A shocking death is reported from Inkberrow, near Worcester. William Cull, a labourer, was working a >2team chaff-cutter, when hie right arm liped ino the machine and he could not witkdraw it. Bit by bit the "iitigers and arm were chopped away till thera was nothing but a stump close to the shoulder. The man died in the Worcoster Infirmary during the night. At the Manchester Assizes on Thursday, Annie Ash worth, was brought up for sentence on a charge bigamy. Twenty years ago she married a man who turned out badly. She accordingly left him and lived with another man Tor about nine years. Then she t with a person with whom she went through the marriage ceremony. The frrst husband, finding this out asked the second husband to pay him S5 as & bribe to hold his tongue, and this being; refused the prosecution was instituted. The prisoner was sentenced to one day's imprisonment. Ths Halkyn liining '-Company (Limited) held their annual mwting'Gn Tuesday at Chester, and declared a dividend of 120 lier cent. The Company was established about five years :iigo, to cut into lodes which were erpeefced to be met with. One of these lodes was worked at the i-eginniny of the century by the Westminster family, and it is said that tkey obtained ore worth a million and a half sterling in the twenty years. The trials to locate; the lode were afterwards numerous and costly. The' previous yearly dividends were M and 20 per cent. Mrs Child, the wife-of a minister residing in Kensing- ton, was charged, at the Hammersmith Police-court on Saturday, with stealing a sovereign from her servant. The Prosecutrix entered her service on Tuesday nighfc, and as she made a complaint the next morning, her mistress told her to'leave the house at once, anfl pushed her out. He box was detained as security for th« amount of a month's wages,'V hich MPB Child claimed in lieu-of notice. The police took pity on the girl, who was in- sufficiently tCad for the oold weather and when -ehe obtained her box, her sovereign was missing. Mrs CLild was remanded on bail. A licence has beec issued <bv the Judge of Probate in Florida for the marriage of George William Sutherland Laveson Gower, widower, otherwise Duke of Sutherland and Mary Caroline Blair, widow. The Duke has been for two months pst living quietly at Tampa, in Florida. on some property which he acquired, devoting moit 67 his time to hunting, shooting, and fishing. A. small but com- fortable hotree on the place has been occupied by him and a handsome lady known as Mrs Blair, who shared in his sports and pastimes and who was Bomethingof an enigma to the neighbours. This has been solved by the announce- ment th..t tke lady-is about to becomor^the Duchess of Sutherland. She is the widow of a dependent of the Duke, whom he accidently 4iiot and killed while-on a hunting expedition. The suddfcii illness of Mr W. H. Gladstene, reported on Saturday, seems to have arisen from an attack of paralysis on tha right side, accompanied by a partial loss of speech. On reaching Hawarden on Saturday ,iaern- injr, Sir Andrew Clark found him recovering, as -he> was able to say a few words, and the use of his-right'leg had returned. Mr Gladstone's right arm was last night still powerless, but his condition oontilmed to improve, and it wa« not tliOiight necessary for the doctor to see him yesterday. Sir Andrew Clark returned fee London on Saturday evening some time before Mrs W. E. Gladstone and Mr Herbert Gladstone .had reached Hawarden-from London. The newiI of the illness of his son was kept from Mr Gladstone until he had delivered his speech in the House of Commons on Friday night. The right hon. gentleman remains in London. At Marlboroutrh police court, on Saturday, 2"amea Loghlan. a Welshman, with no home, after celebrating St David's Day took to the streets, and found a reeting place near Leicester square. When found by a constable between one and two o'clock, he was soundly asleep on the pavement, and in order to gave him from beingTob- bed, his watch was taken from him. As he refused to go away, and addressed the officers-in Welsh, he was taken to the station for the rest of the night.—When asked what he had to say in defence, be laughed and said ithat all he remembered was that three gentlemen came to him and eased him of his watch, but they carefully "left he chain because it was of worthless metal (laughter). Mr Han nay xou ought io be thankful to the police for taking care of you-—The prisoner Ye3 I am they not only took care of me, but my watch, too (laughter).—Mr Hannay;: Pay Hve shillings.—■ Prisoner (loudly to the gaoler).: Five shillings. I'll suffer death before I'll pay Slaughter),—He was removed to the cells. Mr Richard Peacock, head of the engineering firm of Bayer, Peacock, and Co., and Liberal member for the Gorton division of Lancashire, died on Sunday night at Gorton Hall, Manchester, after a lingering illness. Mr Peacock was born in the Valley of Swaledale, Yorkshire, in 1-820 and was educated at the Leeds Grammer School. After serving an apprenticerhip te Messrs Fenton, Murray, and Jackson, engineers, he became locomotive: superintendent on the Lseds and Selby Railway, and some years later he held a similar appointment on the;- Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire Rttilway, whose" great works at Gorton he planned. The firm of Beyer: and Peacock was begun in a modest way at Gorton bUI. it prospered exceedingly until 3,000 people vere employed. Two hundred locomotives were turned out per annum, j and the wages bill for one year amounted to ever 120,00(W. Mr Peacooi was elected member for Gorton in 1885 by a majority of 1,748 over his Conservative opponent, Mr Flatteley, and in 188(5 he defeated Viscount Grey do, Wilton bv 457 votes. The vacancy will be contested Mr W. Mstt wr will be the Liberal candidate, and M* Ernest Ha-uch the Conservative.

PARNELL COMMISSION. At the sitting of the Special (Parnell)" Commission on Friday, Mr O'Kelly, M.P., and Mr Davitt denied the authenticity of letters attributed to tbetxi "and Mr Campbell said the fac-simile letters were neither wriefcen by him Ror signed by Mr Parnell. Mr Lewis and Mr Labonchere described what took place during Pigott's visits to the house of the latter, and i>he accoust of the interview when Pigott made his confession to Mr Ltbouchere was corroboraterl by Mr George Augustus r Sala. Mr Labonchere said he never offered Pigott e f 1,000 to swear he was the forger. He merely said be t would buy any documents he might have. Mr Soames t produced various statements made to him by Pigott, I and said he had ascertained there was such a persoa as I Maurice Murphy, from whom Pigott said he got the letters, although Pigott last Friday admitted he in- c vented the name. Sir Charles Russell asked the Coryt- a missioners to report 00 the authenticity of the letters, and the President said they would consider that by I Tuesday. The Attorney-General subsequently puS in c further extracts from the Irish World, and arguments 1 as to the admissibility of the paper in evidence were c proceeding when the court adjourned. Previous to the i adjourninent,j Mr Houston asked leave t« be further c cross-examined, and it was decided that his request should be complied with later on. On the re-assembling of the Parnell Commission on c Tuesday the Attorney-General put in two letters in c the handwriting of Pigott that had been received from Madrid. The President did not then read them. He proceeded to announce that the Court had decided to admit The Irish World from May, 1880, to October. 1881. The accused being charged with disseminating newspapers inciting to the commission of outrage, it I would, he said, have to be seen whether, during the ( period named, the paper fulfilled that description. An isolated letter would not establish the charge. Extracts from the psper were then read, witnesses being after- wards called. < ITEMS. < As regards the contention that Mr Parnell ougit to < have taken action against the Tmes in the spring of I 1887, it is to be remarked tVat the member for Cork < had not at that time the evidence in his possession by 1 which he has been able to trace the forgeries home to i Pigott. His suspicions fell upon three persons, of whom Pijiott was one, bat it is only at a eompar- s atively recent period that he has felt himself in a position to fix guilt upon Pigott. 1 It has been decided not to close the Liverpool ] National Parnell Expenses fund ab present, but to make a fresh urgent appeal. A letter received from Dublin by the committee of the fund states that Mr ] Parnell estimates his expenses will at the very least amount to £ 50,000. There is now no doubt that. the man who called him- self Roland Ponsoby and committed suicide by shooting himself in the mouth in a Madrid hotel on Friday last was Richard Pigott. When an inspector of police and the hotel interpreter came to his room, telling him he was wanted by the Civil Governor, he at first followed quietly as far as the staiis and then turned back to his room saying that he wished to fetch his cards. Being allowed to do so. he entered his room and there shot himself. His body lias been taken to the mortuary in himself. His body has been taken to the mortuary in the Southern Cemetery of Mudtid. where it will be buried atter the arrival of an official from Scotland- yard. The Spanish officials have taken possession of the documents found on him, but have allowed the British Embassy to ( Xiinine aud copy their. They in- clude a letter addressed to Mr Labouehere, in which Pigott repeats the assertion that some of the letters in what has l,een cil!ei "the first batch" ar" genuine. Sir Ciare Ford has telegraphed to Sir Julian Pauncefote that the Spanish authorities behaved with extreme courtesy. )' The remains of Pigott were officially identified on Tuesday at Madrid, and again photo I graphed. Inspector Quinn was allowed by the judge to take charge of the effects of the deceased. The I body will be buried in the Catholic Cemetery after the post-mortem examination has taken place.

tntp trial parliament. .vr HOUSE OF LORDS, THURSDAY. The Land Transfer Bill was read a second titno. The Marquess of Salisbury, replying to Lord Carnarvon, said it was not the intention of the Govern- ment to re-introduce the Bill of last session forlrestrain- ing unworthy members "of the House from voting or taking part in its proceedings but if the noble Earl was disposed to introduce such a Bill, the Government would give him every assistance in carrying it through. The Earl of Carnarvon said he would present a short Bill oti the subject. HOUSE OF COMMONS, THURSDAY. Mr Balfonr, in reply to Mr Labouehere, said Mr J Shannon, acting ou behalf of the Times, did not give orders to Had Serjeant Gallagher and Serjeant For- 1 rett, of the Royal Irish Constabulary, to protect Pigott but he had asked them to change their hotel to the one in which Pigott resided, in order that their presence there might prevent his -being molested. They had no i orders to interfere with his movements, or to follow him outside his hotel. Sir W. H. Sinith, in answer to Mr J. Ellis, informed the House that the expenditure out of the Temporary Commission's Vote towards defraying the expenses of the Special Commission amounted to £ 1384. In further reply'to Mr Bradlaugii, he stated that no secret service money had been paid to any person iu connec- tion with the Commission. In answer to Mr Sexton, he said the Government were not in a positiou to make any recommendations to the House as to ropaykig the Irish members the cost they had incurred in their defence uutil they had considered the report of the Com- miss-ion which would be presented to Parliament. Neither he nor any one on behalf of the Government had intirrrated to -tlte proprietors of the "[rns that their expenses might be recouped by a Parliamentary grant. Mr Labouchere asked whether the Attorney-General, in the diGcusion on the resolution for the appointment of the Commission, did not use as an argument for its appointment that he could prove one ol the frrgofi letters to be geniune. The Attorney-General, in reply, stated that he hart never said anything that, by arly distortion, was capable of that interpretation. The debate oi £ &he address was resumed'by Mr Shaw Lefavre, who concluded his speech, begun on Wednes- day, in support of Mr Morley's amendment tottho motion for the'-akldress. MfDhambeTlain contended that the line of argument which the supporters of the amendment had adopted was not broad enough to sustain a vrtfce of cenerre. Before tumingcut the Government, it was necessity to know the policy of their successors on- a .question on which the fate d the Empire and the peace of, Ireland depended. The evidence which had been brought for- ward for turning out the Government was nOt'ifit to hang a dog upon. It was a fit subject for discussion vrhtether the Offences of persons conviStad under the Crimea Act should or should not be treated as i-rirst- class misdemeanours, and he would -support a 'Bfil in favour of their being so treated. He called oa Mr Gladateno to state his policy, aud spoke of the two Home Rule Mis as being dead. But Mr Glad-atone dissented, and Mr Chamberlain exekamed that the eotmSry now 't-new that they were still alive. The only chance for Home Rule was a settlement in x!hich all moderate men could agree. All such men agreed that the LaiicrQuestion must be first settled,a«d he thought that a reasonable form Of ex- propriation might be proposed. He advocated a system of "Home Utile proceeding on the inter-provincial system of Canada, in which, amongst'other poiote, the independence-ef Ulster would be protected. Mr Bradlra&h supported the amendment-, and -called upon the Government to prcBecnte Houston. Mr Mattinson, Mr Winterbothani, Mr :R5:Reid, ancT-Mr T. W. liussel ocntinued the debate. Mr Healy was speiking at midnight, when the debate-,atoocl adjourned. Oce or two stormy scenes occurred 4aring the speeches of Mr Russell and Mr Healy. HGUSE OF LORDS, FRTOAY. Lord Cranbrook presented a Bill to amend the' Law as to the Eddowment of the Archdeaconry of* Corn- wall. It was read a first time. HOUSE OF COMMONS, EXIDAY. Mr-Gladstone resumed the debate on the Address. He declined to-comply with Mr Chamberlain's demand that he should sfcvte his policy, as that "would only lead discussion away frcm the real issue raised by Mr Morley's arrendaaen t. The Unionist majority t had stated DO policy, --and. in adopting coertion, had faded to fulfil their pledges at the election tRiat they -were prepared to give IrelEJid a measure ofloeal self-govern- ment. He proptesied the extiuctior. of the Liberal Unionists at the next election, and, adnsdtting that the land question was,a d itfi^ulty in the way of setlling the Irieh Questioo. be t uaintained tDlttnc man had dcae more than Mr Chamb. rla.in to place that and tether difficulties in the %yay ,)f settlement. by throwing out Mr Parnell's Bill for tbe relief of tenants in 1S86. Uhe refusal to deal withrtha-i evil had produced the Plan of Campaign, which he had never defended but thare were many cases.in which law-makers were more reeponsible than law-breakers, and this was one of them. After dealicg with the statistics of bye- elecfeions, heitKgued^kat the pretended diminution of crime was really a decrease of crime .outside the Crimes Act altogether, lie condemned the application of the ordinary prison-rules to political "offenders as ua-. wise, inhuman, and (brutal; and citedstSie cases of Cobbett, O'Connell, and others to show that these prisoners were exempted from humiliating treatment.!) He concluded a masterly speech by asserting that Home Rule might be postponed, but it could not be averted. The ChanceUorADfthe!Exoiiequer said that Cobbett, O'Ceanell, and the other prisoners cited ware purely nsd simply political prisoners. The hair-cutting and other points of prison discipline, which had so excited l Mr Gladstone's indignation, were part of the accepted 1 adiiiinistrationef the country, and had been regularly carried out by Sir (L Trevelyan. The Irish Censtabu- lary, under great provocation, had behaved with as « much self-restraint and prudence as any body of police S In the world; and as for the (resident Magistrates, the c greater portion of them had been appointed under Mr c Gladstone's administration. He denied that they had 1 neglected their pledges at the election. They did e not repudiate their desire to extend local self-gotrern- v ment to Ireland, but Englaad and Scotland were I intitled to take precedence of Ireland, and as soon as he Government saw that securities could be taken hat local self-government would not be perverted for >olifeical purposes they would be anxious to give it to ail jsrfes of Ireland. Mr Parnell, on rising, was received with vociferous iheering, the whole opposition, including Mr Glad- tone, starting to their feet, and the Irish members vehemently waring their hats. He attacked the law of )rison discipline, holding that the Government, who :ould alter the law, were responsible for its results. All le asked was the right of Ireland to legislate on her iwn affairs, with safety to the greater and legitimate nterests of Britain. It was right that a smaller :ountry should yield to the greater in all the safeguards rhich the greater thought necessary. The Home Secretary having addressed the House, a livision was taken, when Mr Morley's amendment was lefeated hy 339 to 260. The debate on the address stood adjourned. HOUSE OF LORDS, MONDAY. Lord Balfour, of Burleigh, in reply to the Earl of ;trafferd, said it was not the intention of the Govern- neafc to move the re-appointment of the Committee m Poor-law Relief, but that they would not oppose my motion which might be made for that purpose. HOUSE OF COMMONS, MONDAY. Mr Balfour, in reply to various questions, stated ihat the prisoner Tracy, now in Millbank Prison, had seen brought over from Belfast Gaol under an order )f the Special Commissioners' Court, and that it was juita untrue that officers of the Irish Constabulary iad offered him money and his liberty if he gave jertain evidence before the Commission, and threatened him with imprisonment for life if he re- fused. The Home Secretary, also in answer to questions, laid that Mr Soames had asked that Head Constable Preston should be allowed to see Tracy in Millbank, but that tie interview had not taken place in the presence of any person. The solicitor for the defence would also have access to Tracy if he wished it. Mr E. Stanhope informed Mr Hoare that new regu- lations would be issued very shortly for securiug the military discipline of the Honourable Artillery Company by bringing it under the control of the War Dffice. When this was done, the Commander in Chief would order an immediate re-issue of the arms. Neither the Commander in Chief nor himself had any [Sower to institute an inquiry into the charge of want of discipline brought against the Company. On the resumption of the debate on the address, the Speaker ruled out of order an amendment by Professor Stuart relating to the amendment of the Sanitary Acts of the metropolis, and one by Sir W. Lawson in reference to Local Option, on the ground that several Bills on these subjects had been introduced into the House. Mr Stuart, in some general remarks on the housing of the poor, suggested the amendment of the Standing Orders to compel Railway and other Companies to make provisien for housing such poor persuns as they dis- possessed, and to require the appointments of some officer to see the Standing Order carried out. Mr Ritchie replied that it was not so much legisla- tion that was wanted as a reform in administration. Much might be done by consolidation and amendment of the Sanitary Acts. The London County Councils had already large powers, which he had no doubt it would use for the benefit of the Metropolis but when the Government came to deal with the contemplated transfer of additional powers, a very large increase of authority would be given to the Council. It would be entrusted with the administration of the Sanitary Acta; and if the local authority failed to fulfil its duty in reference to sanitation or overcrowding, or the suppress- ion of nuisa-uet-s, power would be giveu to the Central Council to appoint an officer to bring the responsible parties before the proper tribunal. Medical officers of health would also have certain distinct duties imposed upon them, and would have to report to the County Council. Mr E. Lawson, Mr Baumann, Sir A. Rollit, Mr Firth, and others continued the discussion on the same subject. Mr Caldwell moved an Amendment to the Address, regretting tfeat no reference had been made to the Crofters in the Queen's Speech, J Mr Chamberlain recommended that funds should be j provided for the creation of Fishing Harbours, and improving the communications by means of tramways and railways in the West of Scotland. The only way in which the Crofter difficulty could be met was a large scheme xf emigration, accompaaied by a scheme of migrating to larger holdings those who did not wish to emigrate. Mr W. H. Smith said that the Government would consider any seherne of migration that was practicable without confiscation. If any loans were made for rail- ways or roads, they could be made only to responsible authorities, The Amendment was negatived by 160 to 96, and the Debate stood adjourned. HOUSE OF LORDS, TUESDAY. The Earl of Milltown gave notice for an early day of -A .93, 11 to render persons convicted of burglary and found in possession of fire-arms liable to corporal Tunishment. HOUSE OF COMMONS, The Home Secretary was questioned by Mr Cobb and Mr J. Ellis as to the relations between Mr Robert Anderson, of Scotland-yard, and Major Le Caron, Ail stated by the latter in his evidence before the Com- mission; but the right hon. gentleman declined to:, answer the questions, as Mr Anderson was to beri examined in the course of the enquiry. He was alsa!! interrogated at great length by Mr J. Morley and Sir W. Harcourt as to whether any attempt had been made to influence the prisoner Nally to give evidence in support of the allegations of the Times, and whether Nally had beau visited in prison by an agent of that journal. He replied that Nally had been visited iu Millbank 'by Mr Thompson, as the representative of Mr Soames, who had made the application fortleave to do so. The visb was not in consequence of a*y invitation from Nally. Mr Thompson had not -d.aribed himseif to the prison authorities as a friend of Nally, and had ageu represented as an agent of Mr"Soames. Asragards ta.mpermg with Nally the chief Secretary, to whom this branch of the inquiry was unexpectedly referred, was not prepared to answer it. jHe informed Sir W. Harcourt that he was not aware of any member of the Irish Constabulary having been employed to collect the evidence of the Times Witnewes, or pay money to them. In reply to Sir C. Russell, the Heme Secretary stated that the Socialist meeting last Sunday had not beeu forcibly prevented from being-held on the Embank- ment, and on the promoters of it proceeding to Hyde Park the meeting there had ..11 been interfered with by the police until it showedsigns of becoming dis- orderly, when stones were thrown »t the police, who acted with the greatest forbear- ance. On the motion for the,issua,(kf-a writ for Keaniagton in consequence of the acceptance of the Chiltern Hun- dreds by Mr Gent-Savis, a ^discussion arose on the question whether the House should have vindicated its own character by formally ,expelling him, in con- sequence of his having been declared by aCoutt of Law guilty of a breach of trust. The subject ultimately dropped, and the ileiion >f«r the writ wm agreed to. Mr W. H. 4Smith moved that the House should meet to-day, being Ash Wednesday at two o'clock. A division was takaoou the mobion, which WAS earried by 193 to 112. The adjourned Aebat* on the Address wastresumed by Mr Pickersgiil, who moved an expressionof regret that no proposals had been made in the Queen's Speech to safeguard tbe rightt vf publie meeting in Trafalgar- square. Sir C. Russell exprease-d hie belief that tke inter- ference ef the Fiirst OommiaEhtner of Police was not authorised by law, andiie callefc upon the Government to withdraws thaCt interference, and proceed-by legis- lative enactment. The Home Secretary said that so long as the meetings had bebn orderly ths authorities had ac- quiesced in them; but the exparienees of; It 86 had been a grave warning, and the lesson taught by October and Nerember, 1SST, bad been equally fruitful of wapniot. No F-xeoutime Government would have beenjustified in permitting London to continue to be exposed to such terrible dangers, and he defended theactOOn of the ¡_te Comnaissioner of Police. Mr Cremer, Mr C. Citaham, :,and other members, carried on the debate, and demanded an opportunity of having thequeelaou decided D}''Ö3 comrt of law. MrBradtaagh coatendedtihalr.tho 52nd Section of the Police Act gave the Commissioner no power to prohibit public meetings. The Attorney Geam-al maintained there was no legal right whatever to ocoupy Trafalgar-square. Tne amendment was defeated by 188 to 109.
