London, January 9. Sev»*ali angry scenes were witnessed yesterday at the sitting of the commission inquiring into the Dublin strike riots.
Mr. Powell, counsel for the police, objected to Mr- F. Handel Booth (Liberal M.P. for Pontefract) intervening on behalf of the people and accusing the police of misconduct.
Mr. Booth, during the reading of a document, accused Mr. Powell of omitting an important passage. The Chief Commissioner declared that Mr. Powell had read everything.
Mr. Powell remarked that it was humiliating to have controversies with such a blackguard.
Mr. Booth protested against the use of the epithet, and added that it was impossible to remain in such a tainted atmosphere. He then withdrew.
