LONDON LETTER. lSPEcIALL Y WIRED. J [BY OUR GALLERY CORRESPOt-rDENT.] THE ART OF ASKING QUESTIONS—THE POST- MASTER GENERAL AND THE PRICE OF FORK—THE CONSIDERATION OF EGYPTIAN AFFAIRS—THE PROSPECTS OF THE RE- MSTKIBUTION BILL-THE EXTRAORDIXARY ACTION OF MR JUSTICE MANISTY—A SMIUK ON THE REPUTATION OF THE ENGLISH BENCH. LONDON, Monday Night. There were actuatly eighty-seven ques- tions addressed to the Ministers printed on the paper of the House of Common? to- night. Thu c¡rulll;Üance will probably attract an u:idue amjnnt of attention. As a matter of fact, it is by no means unusual to have eighty seven questions, and even more, put to Ministers at a single sitting, the diineulty bsing in this ca;;e that they were set down up )n the paper, whereas it is U,.5u: to st:u' questions put without notice. Tn the case of Irish membera this has the recommendation of wast- ing a double portion of time, a.s the interroga.'orios generally applying to some matters of parish interest in Ireland, it is necessary for the Chief Secretary to com- municate with the local authorities before he replies. Thus a Parnellite has the ad- vantage of putting a question, say on the Monday, being ini'ormed that it cannot be considered without notice, then getting it printed at the nati-'nal expense, and bring- ing it forward on the following Thursday or Monday. To-night was for some reason or other made the occasion for a deliberate and organized assault upon the public time and the patience of ministers. Of the eighty-six questions put down on the paper, uve ParneHites had between them nearly half. O'Brien and O'KeIIy had six a piece, Sexton seven, Deasy eight, and the uncrowned king of questions, coming out at the head of the ruck with nine. It should, however, be said to Mr Sexton's credit that although he had only six on the paper, he, according to his habitude, supple- mented the'ssby others, which, boing counted up, wouM probably dispossess Mr Biggar of his distinction. Mr Deasy's questions led to a comical episode. In a bunch of five standing to- gether there was one addressed to the Secre- tary to the Admiralty as to the price per cask of bacon the other was addressed to the Postmaster-General, and had reference to a mail-car service between a village and the important town of Skib- bereen. The Postmaster-Genera!, thinking his turn had come, rose, and read out his answer about the mail car service, when the question Mr Deasy had put waa really about the price of bacon. Mr Biggar has invented IltiH a new method C-f.lengthening the ques- tion papr td perplexing the authorities. One of his questions to-night enquired about the attendance of local Catholic magistrates at a number of petty session districts in the county of Cavan. It turned out, upon the authority of Mr Beresford, who declared his ultimate acquaintance with the county of Cavan, that a number of the petty-sessions districts enumerated in MrBi_gar's questions were simply inventions, there being no such places in the county. Mr Biggar grinned Cpun this unexpected detection of his little joke, but made no other reference. The House wa3 fairly crowded considering the occasion. Mr Gladstone wisely took the precaution of not appearing in his seat till the terrible list of eighty seven questions had been worked down. He was then telephoned for and arrived in good time to answer the questions addressed to him. These were not without interest, though it cannot be said that the Premier z, conveyed much information. It now seems pretty certain that unless the autumn session is unusually protracted there would be no opportunity this year for the Causer* vatives getting up a. fresh debate on the Mgyptian question. The proposals of the Government h:we not yet been despatched to the various powers. When they are received, some time would be required for consideration, and it is only upon the answers of all the powers tha.t Mr Gladstone would feel justihed in submitting the matter to Parliament. This, it will be remembered, ja in exact accordance with the course taken jn respect of the conference. The Censer- vatives are naturally very angry at this, the debate on Egyptian affairs appearing to promise them the only advantage of the session. On Saturday, Mr Gladstone, who is always abounding in hope, was inclined to adjourn from to-day till Thursday, in the expecta- tion that at the meeting of Wednesday the question would be settled, and that on the following day he would be able to bring in the Redistribution Bill. On further reflec- tion upon the certain inconvemences and problematical advantage of this scheme, it was abandoned, and on rising to-night the House adjourned till Monday. At the meet- ing of Wednesday, the odds are in favour of a settlement being reached. Hut, practi- cally, no time will be lost by the adjourn- ment till Monday, whilst it givea members a muehueeded rest in the middle of a tire- some session. It is intended, should the bill be brought in next Mon- day, to take the second reading on the foUowing Thursday, and it is quite possibte that this stage may then be passed without a division. It is clear, if the debate on the second reading of this impor- tant bill is once entered upon, the session will closeiy reach < hnstmas. It is now sUrY- g:3ic(1 th;i,t a critical debate should be post- po' ed tHI the motion to go into committee U)at is to say, transferring it to its proper ;)la, e at the beguiling of the new ooasion. The Premier himself favours this view, and, I believe, Sir Stafford Northcote is not iuclim-d to object. It is a long time since a case tried before one of her Majesty s judges has excited such univeiotd condemnation as has ahaen in the matter of Adamav. Coleridge. Mr Justice Manisty's commendable and well-meant edbrE waa to make the ahitii- talked of as ittde as possible. His procedure has had precisely the opposite eu'ect. The case or, to be more precise, the conduct of the judge is everywhere the topic of conversation, even to the exclusion of the political crisis. From the very tirst, the judgu s conduct was in di- rect opposition to what is ha.pptiy the con- duct of the bench under the most provocative circ'imstancea. As soon as the case was called on he attempted to coerce—it is ha-rdty t 'o much to say.endeavouredto bulh Mr Adams into referring the ca e to private arbitration. What disregard of peremptory advice of this kini on the part of a judge means is well known, and was speedily discovered by Mi- Adams. He was interrupted at every point, and ruled out of order on every ex- se. This would have been sumcient to e<ctte public indignation without the un- h:-ar(- of climax in which the judge, having distinctly put an issue to the jury, and they tind contrary to his evident desire, over- the verd.ct declaring that there is ne evidence in support of it. Perhaps the re- markn.i,Je incident in the painful circutn- staxce is the certainty of the judge that he 1'n.d the jury with him. He might have stopped the case at firfjt on the legal point of privilege, but he preferred to trust to the cha. <oe of the jury overborne by his a.nnnua, au<l fiuding the verdict against the plaintilf. Having left it to the jury, he dis- tinctly t'Id them that if they found there \V' tii.Jice on the parL of the defendant they Wí:'T0 <o iind a verdict against him. They iouitd. there was malice, gave in their ver- dict which waa immediately overruled. The motive which has prompted Mr Justice Mauisty in this unfortunaLe conduct is avowed by hjs own expressions He wished to save pain to a friend and colleague. But this oniy aggravates the strong feeling aroused by the case. It is most regretable that the aiiair should have come into court; but there is too much reason to fear that if the father of the lady in question had been an ordma-ry member of the public, Mr Justice Mu.nisty's sympathies would not have been ex- cited to the ungovernable bound'! they reached, aud the ra.reiy tainted reputation of the English bench would have been saved this smirk. Mr CaHnn's notice, given in the House of Commons to-night, to call attention to the conduct of the judge is likely to do him S°tne service, much more than his own statement from the bench this morning. The House instinctively declines to associate itself with Mr Callan in any enterprise, and since he attacks the judge will begin to think Ins fault is not so great after all.
