VISCOUNT MORLEY.
AFFIRMATION INSTEAD OF OATH. \ By Telegraph.— Association.—Copyright. London, May 7. In taking his seat in the House of Lords, Viscount Morley, instead of taking the usual oath of allegiance, made an affirmation. Although a not uncommon proceding in the representative chamber, this was the first time an affirmation had been made in the House of Lords. The affirmation was read somewhat finaudibly, and, it was supposed, from the galleries, that Lord Morley had taken the usual oath.
