SCENE IN THE COMMONS.

IRISH MEMBERS AROUSED. Lojtdos, November 2. In the House of Commons, Mr John Redmond described Mr Butcher's speech as an effort to revive disgraceful passion by repeating absurd calumlies. This was intended.to prejudiee '.he demand for reforms. Mr A. J. Balfour admitted that Mr Butcher's was strong language, though it represented accurately what occurred m tho past. This statement was greeted with Nationalist cries of "Ho!" and " Pigott and Sheridan!" (the names of two informers denounced by the Nationalists). Mr Balfour, resuming, added that he was glad that enormous improvement had been made since, but urged caution.

The Right Hon. Lawson Walton, Attorney-General, emphasised the principle that agrarian combinations were not entitled to the privileges of the Bill. 6

The Right Hon. H. Asquith (Chanlicllor of the Exchequer) aud tho Right Hon. R. B. Haldane (Secretary for vVar) explained the change in their riews regarding tho immunity of trado union funds by saying it was a question of expediency and method rather than principle. Mr Walton frankly declared that he bowed to tho majority.

[Mr S. H. Butcher (Conservative member for Cambridge University) declared that tho bill facilitated boycotting and intimidation, as when, tnder the Land League's-baneful tyranny, the Jiving were lefused the necessaries of life and the dead denied coffins.]
