DISGRACEFUL SCENE IN SYDNEY PARLIAMENT.
ONE MEM BEE. SEIZES ANOTHER
BY THE THROAT
By Electric Telegraph.— Copyright. (PER UNITKD PRESS 4SSOCIAfIONT.) ! Received March 22, 1.15 p.m. Sydney, This Day. Mr Haynes, the member for Hume, in the course of his speech last night, in the House of Assembly, denounced the Protectionists and Catholics. This passed a reflection on Mr James Fletcher, the member for Newcastle, and he walked over to Haynes, seized him by the throat, threw him on to his seat, and held him there. Several members, only with the greatest difficulty, succeeded in dragging Fletcher off, amind great excitement. Fletcher was arrested by the SergeanUatArms, and after apologising freely, was suspended for the remainder of the sitting. Hobaht, This Day. The Ruapehu, which arrived here yesterday, brought 157 passengers. Melbourne, This Day.
The Argus in an article on the Divorce Extension Bill sees no regret in its not being assented to by the Crown and considers that a Bill on so important a matter, ought to be uniform, and further that if the measure is assented to, Sydney would have to become the Gi etna Green of divorce of the other Colonies.
