MEMBERS’ REMARKS WERE GROSS LIBEL.
BREACH OF PRIVILEGE ALLEGED BY SPEAKER
(United Press Assn.—By Electrlo Telegraph—Copyright.) (Received .July 29, 12.30 p.m.) LONDON, July 28. In the House of Commons, Mr E. Wintertort (Labour) moved that Mr Sandham’s speech in defence of Mr Beckett, who removed the Mace from the House, was a gross libel on members and also a grave breach of privilege. The grossest charge made was that of bribery. The House never allowed anyone to make that accusation. The Speaker called Mr Sandham’s name, but there was no response. Mr MacDonald moved the adjournment of the debate until to-morrow to give Mr Sandham the opportunity of being present, as he ought to be. (Cheers.)
