Maher appeared at the bar of the House to answer a charge of having assaulted Mr. Llewellyn. The Speaker read a letter from Mr. Maher in which he tendered a full apology to the House and to Mr. Llewellyn. The latter said he would accept some of the blame and offered an apology for using certain words. The matter was then allowed to drop.

While in committee, Mr. Llewellyn (Labour) said that Mr, E. Maher (Country Party) had a filthy mind, whereupon Mr. Maher walked across the Chamber and struck Mr. Llewellyn in the face.
