The Hon tbe Speaker read a letter wbicb he had received from Sir Michael Hicks-Beach, leader of the Government in the Lower House, urging him not to allow Mr Bradlaugh to be sworn, but the Speaker ruled that he was bound to ignore the letter, as any resolution of a former Parliament had no authority to bind tha present one.
