Mr. Asquith angrily rejoined: "That is an allegation against .the Ministers' honor." (Loud Opposition cheers). Mr. Asquith continued that the proper place to make the charges was in the House of Commons. Mr. Bonar retorted that Mr. Asquith had twice had an opportunity to answer definite charges made in the Commons. Only testimony on .oath would be any good.
