Slandering Members of Parliament.
■ ♦ (Per x J ress Association). Adelaide, July 2. It is understood that Mr Honeywell, a business man, ancl Mr Bcugthon, proprietor of the Advertiser, will be summoned to the bar of the House in connection with an interview with Mr Honeywell with regard tc the Early Closing Bill, in which the latter said he considered many members of Parliament were rogues and the House generally a refuge for the destitute. , The language used last Sunday by the Rev. Mr Piatt may also claim consideration. He said they are making parliamentary institutions a hissing bye-word ancl bringing things to that pass when men shrug their shoulders at the name of parliament. Also, that there are some men in Parliament who plainly show that they are fitted for nothing so much as for dishonoring it, and some language used in debate would come trippingly from Billingsgate oyster women in the time of Bolingbroke.
