VOICE FROM GALLERY
SPEECH INTERRUPTED INCIDENT IN PARLIAMENT OFFENDER LED OUTSIDE / [BY TELEGRAPH —SPECIAL REPORTER] WELLINGTON, Thursday , Members of Parliament and visitors in the galleries of the House of Representatives were momentarily startled this evening when a man sitting in the public gallery interjected loudly during the speech of the Leader of the Opposition, the Hon. A. Hamilton, in the Address-in-Reply debate. Mr. Hamilton, who was referring to the activities of Labour Governments in other parts of the world, said that in both Australia and England during the depression years the people had rejected Socialist administrations. "They never did," cried a loud voice in the gallery. After a monientary'pause Mr. Hamilton resumed his speech, but the attention of the spectators in the galleries was diverted for a time to the offender, who was quietly removed from his place and escorted outside by one of the constables on duty.
