POLITICS AND BUSINESS.
M.P.'s DUAL POSITION. By Taleffraph—Press Association—Copyright London, December 22. The "Pall Mall Gazette," commenting upon the failure of the Parliamentary Select Committee to arrive at a unanimous agreement with respect to its inquiry into the case of Mr. Stuart M. Samuel, M.l\, and the referring of the matter to the Privy Council, states that tho general result has been to increase the muddle. "It is not," states tho "Gazette," "a matter for legal plaudits, but what tho man owes to himself and to his constituents."
It was referred to the Parliamentary Committee of the House of Commons to report on the propriety of Mr. Stuart Samuel, a member of the banking firm of Samuel, Montague, and Company, retaining his seat as Liberal member for the Wnitechapel Division of Tower Hamlets, in view of the statement made that the Indian Government had made large purchases of silver from his_ firm. It was .subsequently announced in the House that the Government was satisfied that Mr. Samuel's firm had acted merely as brokers, not as dealers, in the transactions referred to. The matter has now been referred to tho Privy Council.
