_House of Commons, Tuesday, August 20, 2.18 A.M._--New Members, and some who sat in last Parliament, have had opportunity to-night of tasting old times at Westminster. As R. G. WEBSTER pointedly observes, "TIM HEALY has drawn his shillelagh, and thrown away the scabbard." Here is House of 670 Members, in Session in obedience to constitutional conditions. Must needs meet on 12th of August; but every man, or nearly everyone, chiefly anxious to get necessary business over as soon as possible, and so off to moor or sea, or quiet home in long-severed country across the Irish Sea or beyond the Tweed. TIM HEALY has introduced Bill to amend Municipal Franchise in Ireland; wants to carry it through all its stages, and send it on to Lords before Prorogation. "Only a little one," he pleads. PRINCE ARTHUR points out if exception made in one case will be claimed in others. Can't oblige TIM. "Very well," says the Implacable One; "then see what it will cost you. No Bill no holiday, at least not as long as I can stand on floor and raise my voice." All through the long sitting TIM been to the fore. No matter what subject, it served for him to take objection, and in most cases division. ATTORNEY-GENERAL wanted to take first reading Expiring Laws Continuance Bill; a purely formal procedure; a matter of course at end of each Session. TIM objected. After vain protest, ATTORNEY-GENERAL retired. PRINCE ARTHUR moved debate on Limerick election should have particular place on Agenda. TIM objected. Such a course, he argued, implied that debate on the dutiful address to most gracious speech from the throne might be interrupted in favour of any ordinary business. In voice faltering with emotion TIM resented this slight upon his Sovereign. Next in enormity was evidence discerned by his keen vision of demoralising influence of HEMPRER JOE on Conservative principles. Before the fusion, Conservatives held sacred all constitutional precedents. Now, with a light heart, they proposed to flout an ordinance that had prevailed for seven hundred years. Why seven hundred nobody knew. TIM might have put it at eight hundred or a thousand; but he is, above all things, a moderate man. SPEAKER ruled PRINCE ARTHUR'S procedure strictly in order. SQUIRE OF MALWOOD, coming to rescue of Ministers, admitted it was a course invariably taken under former Ministry. TIM took his stand on the British Constitution; put his protecting arms round his affronted Sovereign; declined to budge, and the master of many legions surrendered.
