CHRONICLE OF THE WEEK.
------------ ♦ ------------
AD E B A T E took place in the
H ouse o f Lords on M onday — , night on a Resolution moved by the Duke o f R ichm ond and Gor
don, condem n ing the disturbance o f the usage o f appointin g Justices o f the Peace in counties on the recommendation o f the Lords L ieu tenant for the purpose o f p lacing on the bench Justices whose political opinions were in consonance with those o f the Governm ent o f the day. In the course o f the discussion, the Earl o f Sefton stated that during the whole tim e he had been Lord L ieutenant o f Lancashire he had never made, or refused to make, appointments on political grounds, and that the power of nomination which was transferred to him in 1870 by Mr. Gladstone, on the distinct condition that it should not be used for political purposes, had been withdrawn because he had refused to make forty political appointments at the b idding o f Mr. B ryce. Lord K im berley contended that, unless come change were made, the existence o f the unpaid magistracy would be seriously endangered. T h e L o rd Chancellor said that any action he m ight take would be taken merely w ith the view o f removing the disparity in the political opinions o f the magistrates and those o f the people. T h e R esolu tio n was supported b y the Duke o f Devonshire and o th e r noble Lords, and agreed to nemine contradicente.
In the Commons, Mr. Morley, in the commons— answer to Mr. H ealy, gave the opinion A privilege.01 o f the Law Officers o f the Crown as to the d isp lay o f the Union Jack in Ireland,
w h ich was to the effect that the A c t o f 1836 prohibited the hanging out o f every kind o f flags, even the Union Jack, b y a publican. In answer to Mr. Bartley, Mr. G ladstone stated that the W e lsh Suspensory B ill had not been dropped any more than any other o f the Government Bills which were practically suspended, and in regard to which he had no communication to make. Mr. Jackson presently rose to make a personal explanation in answer to a charge made la st week during his absence by Mr. Healy, and adopted in an answer by the C h ie f Secretary, that he had brought pressure to bear to stop the C lare Island evictions. Mr. Jackson demanded from the Ch ie f Secretary proof o f his assertion. Mr. Morley, in his reply, acknowledged that he had gone too far in his former statem ent, whereupon Mr. Jackson rose, and explaining the circum stances, assured the H ouse that there was not a word o f truth in the charge. When this was over, Mr. Chamberlain rose and called attention to two articles in The Daily News o f Monday, which he held to be a breach o f privilege. T h e first purported to be a report o f the proceedings o f Thursday night, which drew from Mr. G ladstone the remark that “ he was not angry, he was not angry at all, but he was grieved to the heart b y rid icule o f that k ind,” and the second was comment in one o f the leading articles. H e read the report o f which he complained, and which contained twelve interruptions o f an offensive, and, in some cases, of a malignant character. T h e report o f his own speech was intended to be a burlesque, but it was very dangerous burlesque. It attributed to him and his friends a deliberate attem pt to insult the Prim e Minister, a thing o f which he and his friends had never been guilty. H e next read the passage in the leading article which commented upon this false report. Every clause o f the passage as he read it was received with loud confirm atory cheers and laughter by the Nationalists. One o f the comments was to the effect that, i f the interruptions which were recorded in the report had been made by the Nationalists, they would have been suspended. This, Mr. Chamberlain contended, was a deliberate reflection on the impartiality o f the C h a i r ; but the Nationalists responded to this inference with derisive laughter, which was responded to by a vociferous Unionist cheer. It was the practice o f the paper complained of, said Mr. Chamberlain, to give false accounts o f speeches made in the House, and then to proceed to comment on those false statem ents. T h e passages were handed to the C lerk, and read b y him to the House, after which Mr. Chamberlain moved that they constituted a breach o f the privileges o f the House. Mr. Mellor, the Chairm an o f the Com mittee, testified that he was quite unable to recognize in the report the state o f things that took p lace on Thursday night. Referring to the reflection on his own conduct in the Chair, he said he heard a slight laugh behind him when Mr. G ladstone was speaking, but did not know from whom it came. H e had always done his best to preserve order, and he endeavoured to make no distinction whatever between parties in the House. Mr. T . P . O ’C onnor asserted that Mr. G ladstone had been cruelly interrupted on Thursday night, and that Mr. Chamberlain had got less from The Daily News than his deserts merited. H e moved, as an Amendment, that the H ouse decline to take notice o f the extracts, and that it should proceed to the Orders o f the
New Series, Vol. XLIX., No. 2,079.
