Three thousand people were admitted by ticket to a pro-Boer meeting at Queon’s Hall. . , , Eight hundred foreigners, market porters at Battersea gasworks, were engaged to keep out opponents. A largo forco of police assisted to prevent efforts to rush the hall. Mr Labouchero, who presided over the gathering, referred to Sir A. Milner as a wretched penny-a-liner. British soldiers, ho said, wore lions led by goose. Mr Morriman was absent from the mooting, being indisposed. Messrs Sauer, Llloyd George, Clifford, Dillon, and Koir Hardic denounced the war.
