The Rowdy Parliament.
The following is a specimen of the dialogue in one of the recent " scenes" in the New South Wales Parliament: Mi' Dibbs, in tbe heat of the moment, said that about 2000 years ago there was an unfortunate wretch placed in an unfortunate position in Jerusalem, and the mob cried "Crucify him, crucify him." (Loud cries of "Sbtirae.") Mr"Dibbs: Who says <, Shamo"to me? Several lion, members: I do, Sir Henry Parkes: We never heard Jesus Christ called a wretch before, Mr Dibbs then likened the House to an infuriated mob, and suggested that all that was needed was an humble apology from Mr Fletcher. The Chairman left the Chair and reported the disorder, and asked leave . to sit again. When tho disorder had been dealt with, the speaker put the motion for ', leave to sit again, which was agreed to.
