The galleries and lobbies were full of member?, but the whips being absent, there was no reaponse to the bell and to the grief of Sir John Hall (who had a Woman Suffrage Bill on tho paper); the vexation of the Premier, (cut down in the middle of a good speech), and the indignation of " The Bufler Lion," the House was adjourned.
