PETER O'BRIEN, not yet expanded since compressed by contiguity of THOMAS BAYLEY POTTER, asked whether complete copies of the evidence would be supplied to other persons incriminated, but not being Members of the House? OLD MORALITY at the counter again; the old Adam in him stronger than ever. Here was a pretty proposal! Bound to supply this interesting work gratuitously to Members of Parliament; to go beyond that most unbusinesslike. "No, Sir," he said, firmly; "it is open to other persons to obtain the volumes by purchase." House roared with laughter, turned delighted from this little comedy to face the gloomy prospect of STANSFELD on District Councils. _Business done._--Still harping on Address. _Friday Night._--"Strange," said J. A. PICTON, slowly rubbing his brawny hands, "how in our ashes live our wonted fires." Dwelt amongst dead ashes all week; dreary dulness. To-night, in very last hour of week, Debate suddenly flashes forth in brilliant flame, worthy of old traditions. CHAMBERLAIN, with his back to the wall, faced and flanked by jeering, scornful, angry Liberals. Explains why he's going to vote with Government against demand for Free Education. A tough, dialectical job, requiring skill, temper, courage. CHAMBERLAIN displays each quality. Cool, collected, master of the situation, deftly warding off thundering blows, and now and then changing, with swift action, from defensive to offensive. A pretty sight, worth waiting a week for. _Business done._--ACLAND'S Motion for Free Education rejected by 223 Votes against 163. * * * * * [Illustration: "THE MISS!" _Gillie._ "EH, MON!
