TREATMENT OF SUFFRAGETTES. London, July 10. Mr. Hubert Pearcc, Liberal member for the Leek Division of Staffordshire, and Mr. C. 11. Corbett, Liberal member for Sussex North, are introducing into the House of Commons a Bill to enact that girls and'women sentenced to imprisonment for political offences must be treated as first-class misdemeanants, except in cases where damage ro property or grievous bodily harm is involved.
OLD-AGE PENSIONS. London, July 16. The Times deprecates any steps being taken by the House of Lords to reject or delay the passage of the Old-Agct Pensions Bill. The paper points out that by opposing the Bill the Lords would merely place themselves in a very difficult and dangerous situation without effecting any real reform, lur they do not possess the power to put forward any better alternative, the Bill being a financial measure.
