If a man worked days and two nigbts on the Cambrian Railway the Pany would not put it all down to him, but would Pa,t of it in some other man's name. The t^6 ^Uma-ter aeked him to tell a lie about his hours at kiltie of the Board of Trade inquiry. '• Crawford: What did he say ? Witness He said, ^"st not make our hours too long.

As a L|^t. Q ;'t iti hiiiBOii was not on duty on the Friday e tl th' c^'iy a-Ttr Hood had given ivider.ee 6 lolf COrnK!itto- he w.io'e a letter to witness to OW1,.g erfect 11, giving my evidence yesterday the question was asked me if Humphreys was on duty 44 hours, and I replied that he was, except thehours he was aw*y at meals. You may think this very strange, knowing that I was aware that Robinson was put down in the pay-sheets for one nignt. and when I saw this in your office I had grave doubts as to Humphreys being on duty. The matter then came upon me rather suddenly, end I could not recollect the facts." The letter proceeded that Hood was now con- vinced that Humphreys was on duty on the Friday night and that a satisfactory explanation could be given as to why Robinson was put down on the pay- sheet." The writer also stated that it was impossible for him to know that the question would be put' about Humphreys' hours. The Chairman here observed that in the original statement handed in by Hood the witness had referred to that very point. Witness, resuming., said that in consequence of Hood's statement before the committee and inquiry was made as to the person who filled in the block telegraph book on the Friday night, as the hand- writing was not that either of Humphreys or Robin- son. It was eventually ascertained to he the writing of an assistant guard named Stokes. An application was discovered at Oswestry Station dated Nov. 16, 1887, from an assistant guard named Stokes, asking for payment for taking duty all night at Ellesmere on the night of the 4th (the night in dispute). That payment was made. Witness subsequent to Hood evidence got a letter from him, stating that both Robinson and Humphreys were on duty on the Friday night. Witness next referred to the accident, denying that the permanent way was removed at the point where the accident happened. He had the engineer present to prove the condition of the permanent way. The accident was caused by the points being half set, and that was the conclusion anived at by the Government Inspector. The only sleepers removed were thos, destroyed by the engine after it left the rails. Hoode writing to witness after the accident, intimated that his suspension in consequence of signing a memorial about Humphreys became known in consequence of Mrs Hood mentioning it to a lady and to the vicar of the parish. (Laughter). Witneos next dealt with the matter of Hood's doubts as to whether he should get his railway fare to London when he went to give evidence returned to him. The usual course was followed in this case. Hood's application for a pass was received too late to be granted, and he was told to buy a ticket and the money would be refunded. If Hood had not cared to trust his (Mr Conacher's) promise he would have had a claim on the company, as they had undertaken that the servants should suffer no loss. Just a few days before Mr Hood had got his wife's fare returned in the same way. Mr Couacher then read the report of the interview at Crewe between Mr Hood and the directors, at the beginning of which Mr Hood was aeked to justify the^evidence he had given before the committee, and was?.jnforti>ed that he was not dismissed because he gave evidence. The Chairman You are aware that Mr Hood deuies the accuracy of some of the statements in that report ? —Witness Yes, and I am prepared to produce the shorthand writer as to its accuracy. Mr Conacher asked to be allowed to say something with regard to Mr Hood's statement that after he returned to work after giving evidence h* was a marked man, and that every little delay of a train was inquired into." Well, it would be a curiously- managed railway If every delay of a train were not inquired into. He found that there were in July four cases of delay-one of eight minutes, one of ten, one of thirty, and one of twenty-six. While on the same subject he might say that soon after Mr Hood got back to Montgomery he applied for two days leave of absence during Bank Holiday week, in order that he might visit Kent. It was a very unusual thing to give a stationmaster leave at such a busy time but witness at once granted the leave asked for. Witness's examination was not concluded when the committee adjourned until Thursday,

I imperial parliament HOUSE OF COMMONS, WEDNESDAY. Mr Provand moved the Second Reading of the Shop Hours Bill. the object of which is to prevent adult women and young persons from working in shops foi more than seventy-four hours a week. He stated that if the Bill was read a second time he would consent to its being referred t > aJSelect Committee. Mr Baumann seconded the Motion. Mr Gedge moved an Amend- ment. which stood in the name of Mr W. M'Laren, that the House decline to interfere with the hour3 of adult women until women had the means of expressing their opinions by the Parliamentary franchise. Mr A. C. Corbett, as Chairman of the Early Cluing Association. said the Association, which bad been in existence for fifty years, had spent fifty thousand pounds in endeavouring to cultivate volun- tary early closing but there wa9 an absolute necessity that the movement should be established by legisla- tion. After considerable discussion, Mr Gedge with. drew his Amendment. Sir J. Lubbock said that shop- keepers generally were in favour of legislation, and he hoped the Government would assent to the Bill. The Home Secretary held that the Bill was an interference with the labour of adult women. It would not touch the large shops, but would tell with great severity on small tradesmen. He would vote against the Second Reading, but h* would consent to the appointment of a Select Committee to inquire into the subject. Mr W. M'Laren moved that the Bill be read a second time this day six months. He objected to the appointment of a Select Committee, as the Labour Commission had appointed a sub-Commission of ladies to consider this very question. Some further discussion took place, and Mr Balfour said that the Bill, in its present shape, was a whollv unworkable measure, and that it was not possible to apply it without a careful preliminary con- sideration. He added that he would consent to the appointment of a Select Committee. On a division Mr M Laren's Amendment was lost by 175 to 152, and the Bill was read a second time. HOUSE OF LORDS, THURSDAY. Lord Kelvin (formerly Sir W. Thomson) took the oath and his seat. The East India Officers Bill passed through Committee" with an Amendment, moved by Lord Northbrook. and accepted by the Government, preventing the recall of the Governor General for the purpose of consultation with the Indian authorities at home. The Bill relating to betting by Infants also passed through Committe-. HOUSE OF COMMONS, THURSDAY. The Lord Advocate asked leave t) introduce a Bill to make provision in regard to the application of sums from time to time paid to the Scotch Local Taxation Account, and in regard to the fee grant in Scotland. He stated that the Bill would enable the Education Grant to Scotland to be applied in accordance with the circum- stances and wishes of Scotland. In the protracted debate which followed, great differences of opinion manifested themselves among the Scottish members on the Opposition side of the House as to the alloca- tion of the money. After the Bill had been debated till eleven o clock, Mr Balfour intimated that he had been informed on the highest authority that the gravest doubts existed as to whether the Bill ought not to have been intro- duced in Committee and, in the meantime, he moved the adjournment of the Debate, which was agreed to. Supply was then proceeded with. HOUSE OF LORDS, FRIDAY. Several private Bills wpre read a second time, and a resolution was agreed to fixing the hour of meeting on Tuesdays at half-past five. HOUSE OF COMMONS, FRIDAY. Mr Balfour moved that Mr De Cobain, having been charged with having committed, aud with having incited to the cotmnis-ion or gross and criminal acts of indecency, and warrants having been issued for his apprehension, and Mr De Cobain having failed to obey an order of the House to attend in his place, and having fled from justice, be be expelled from the House. Mr Sexton took exception to the want of chronological form in the Resolution and to its grain- mar, and he tendered an amended version of it. which Mr Balfour accepted, and in its reconstructed shape the Motion was agreed to. On the Motion for going into Committee of Supply, Mr Herbert Gardner brought forward a Resolution that the school-rooms of 'schools in receipt of Parlia mentary grants should, under certain conditions, be at the disposal of the inhabitants of the district for tfce purpose of holding public meetings. Mr Stanley Leighton and Mr Talbot oppnsed the Resolution. Sir W. Hart Dyke said the Government recognised the difficulty of finding places for holding public meetings in country districts, and were prepared to the full to accept the principle embodied in the Resolution Some qualifications, which he specified, would, however, require to be included in any Bill which followed upon the Resolution. Mr J. Morley congratulated the right hon gentleman on the ccncession he had made, and he added that the qualifications indicated were not worth quarrelling about. The Opposition, however pressed the Government to take charge of the Bill themselves. Mr Balfour declined to do so, but he promised to support any Bill which Mr Gardner might mtioduce. After some hours' discusion Mr Balfour agreed to insert Clausei to carry out the Resolution in the Bdl for relieving Voluntary schools from rates. The Motion for going into Supply was negatived, and Mr Gardner's Resolution became the sub, tqntive Motion. It was further debated at length, and ultimately agreed to. Mr Balfour introduced a Bill to amend the procedure with respect to private Bills in Scotland and Ireland. It provided for the appointment of a Joint Standing Committee of the two Houses, which will see whether the Standing Orders are comp ied with, and if so tho Bill will be referred to a Commisrion consisting of the Railway Commissioners and an Assistant Commis- sioner, for Scotch Bills, and another for lr;sh Bills, to take evidenc- and report to the House. Mr Campell- Bannerman stated some objections to the Bill, and Mr Healy declared it was useless, and as midnight the Debate stood adjourned. HOUSE OF LORDS MONDAY. In the House of Lords on Monday, Lord Knutsford, replying to Lord Derby, made a further statement of some length in reference to the action of the West In- dian Colonies in constqueace of the McKinley Tariff. The Infants Betting aid Loan Bill and the Evidence in Criminal CaR"s Bil! was read a third time. HOUSE OF COMMONS, MONDAY. In the House of Commons on Monday a two hours' discussion took place on the private Bill providing for the construction of a tramway across Westminster Bridge and along the Embankment to the Sjuth-East- ern Railway at Charing-cross. The Second Reading was moved by Mr Stuart, and its Rejection was pro- posed by Sir A. Borthwiok. The discussion ended by the Second Reading being carried by a majority of two 160 voting for the Second Reading and 158 voting against it. The Bill was accordingly read a second time. While the qusftions were in progress Mr Glad- stone entered the House, and was welcomed with loud Oppositicn cheering. Replying to Mr J. Rowlands aud Mr Whitmore, the Homf Secretary explained the part taken by the police in breaking up the meeting at World's End on Sunday. Mr Chaplin, also, in answer to everal ques- tions, ktated that the Order clos'ng the Metropolitan Market, in consequence of the outbreak of foot-and- mouth disease, had been revoked beause London must be fed, and because, if the Order had been con- tinued, animals would be sold at Railway-stations, in yard", and private lairs, over which the Government would have DO control. The animals would, therefore, he allcwed to be taken to their destination, but string- ent precuations would be taken to prevent a single an- imal from the Market going beyond the limits of the Metropolis.. In Committee of Supply, the sum of £ 90,000 being the part of the equivalent grant due to Ireland f r h-cur rent financial ye r, was prcpossd to be applied in aid of the capital sum of the Teachers' Pension Fund. It was stated by the Government in the debate that an actuary in 1885 reporting (,n the fund, had returned a surplus of £ 195,000 and that in 1S91 the same actuary had re- ported a deficit of like amount. Sir J. Gorat was of opinion that the report of 1891 was the correct one. but the Government had appointed three actuaries to make a further report. The Irit-h members, some of whom desired the £90,000 to be applied to other objects insisted on the Vote being postponed. A Motion to Re- port Progress was defeated. After further d scussion, the Closure was moved by Mr Balfour, and carried by 146 to 113. and the Vote itself was also carried by 157 to 120. A debate on the Vote for X30,486 in respect of the expenditure in connection with the relief of dis- tress in Ireland was in progress when the twelve o'clock Rule came into operation.
