He planted his feet on the bench in front of him, and grasped the bench on which he was sitting. Four attendants grusped the member, they endeavouring to release his grip. A fierce struggle ensued, while the House looked on in shocked silence, Air J. Beckett a (Labour) and Air J. Kinley (Labour) both endeavoured to pull the attendants away.
