e out, if you are a man. If you interrupt me again, I'll break your neck." This conclusive, but as argumentative process not recognised in House. DE LISLE went out by a door other than that affected by TIM. Chairman said nothing, but as soon as Members returned from Division Lobby sent for SPEAKER, and reported circumstances to him. So TIM was suspended. Now partially anticipating the Recess. House practically empty. To-night filled up for this scene. After it was over, Benches cleared again, there being nothing more interesting than business to the fore. _Business done._--Committee on Land Bill. _Friday._--_Captain Bunsby_ appeared in House to-night. Took familiar and graceful form of RICHARD TEMPLE. Some one questioned him as to what would London School Board do if the Pensions Bill promoted by it did not pass this Session? Would they terminate engagements for purpose of compelling their servants to come within provisions of Bill? "Sir," said Sir RICHARD, casting killing glance at Ladies' Gallery, "whether the Board shall see fit to exercise their power is a question which no man can answer; and, if so be, wherefore? Why, Sir, because the Board will never form a decision on contingencies which have not yet arisen." House delighted. Roared with laughter. [Illustration: "When found, make a note of for _Tit Bits_."] "When found, make a note of for _Tit Bits_," said NEWNES; and he did. Land Bill in Committee again. Getting terribly dull, though wakes up now and then when HARCOURT interposes. Tremendous scene at Half-past Two this morning, when Old Morality rebuked him. O. M. accused HARCOURT of making charge against Ministerialists. "I don't know what charge I have made," said HARCOURT; "but I am prepared to maintain all I have said." That, of course, settled matter, and Members went home. _Business done._--Land Bill in Committee. * * * * * GROUSE PROSPECTS.
