Serious differences in the R.S.P.C.A., which have been apparent for some time, came to a climax at an uproarious meeting to-day. Men ancl women with prominent names shouted until there was pandemonium.
When women could not make their voices heard they just screamed. A man stood on a chair and shook his fist at Lord Banbury, who attempted to take the chair. Mr Stephen Coleridge moved that Mr Wallace Grain replace Lord Banburv.
Tlie latter ignored shouts to vacate and attempted to read a document amid a tumult of shouts of: “Sit down I Get out I”
Mr Grain attempted to speak to Lord Banbury, who turned sharply and said: “I do not know who the hell you are I Get out. instead I” Cries of: “Shamel” “Get out of the chair, we will not.have you!” Lady Oory, holding a yelling toy dog, said that she wanted to move a vote of censure on Lord Banbury for degrading the society. Sir James Douglas: declared that tho whole trouble of tho society was due to Lord Banbury. Amid renewed uproar Lord Banbury suddenly gathered up his papers and departed, together with tho members of the council.
