THE HOUSE OF COMMONS

DISORDERLY SCENES

(By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright.} (United Press Association.) (Received 12,30 p.m.) London,. November 13. Mr. Asquith moved the rescision of Mr. Banbury’s amendment, which, he said, was fatal, and made it impossible to proceed with the Bill. If the House,reaffirmed Sir F. G. Banbury’s amendment, he would accept the decision. (Opposition cries of “Cheap bluff.”) The Speaker, replying to Mr. Bonar Law, said the motion was in order though unprecedented. Still, he would not say the House should never form a new precedent. The Opposition hotly criticised the Government. Mr. Bonar Law moved the adjournment of the debate, but this was negatived by 109 votes. Sir F. G. Banbury moved that when the question was once decided, it should not again be raised during the same session. The proposed rescission was an affront to the Commons’ decision. There were scenes of disorder, and the sitting was suspended for an hour. Sir Rufus Isaacs was refused a hearing. On resuming .the disorder was nenewed, and the Speaker adjourned the sitting until to-morrow.

WAIHI STRIKERS RELEASED. (Per Press Association.') Auckland, November 14. Six of the Waihi Miners’ Union committee were released from gaol on finding sureties to keep the peace. Arrangements are being made for releasing all the .other imprisoned strikers.
