§ Motion made and Question proposed, "That this House do now adjourn."
§ MR. CUNNINGHAME GRAHAM (Lanark, N.W.)said, he wished to say one word with regard to an appeal which was made to him by the right hon. Gentleman the First Lord of the Treasury (Mr. W. H. Smith) the other day. The right hon. Gentleman had asked him to use his influence to prevent the assembling of people in Trafalgar Square. He had not, at the time, been able to respond to the right hon. Gentleman's appeal, because he saw no chance of any efforts he made in that direction proving successful; but he saw now that the Bow Street Magistrate had consented to state a case for the opinion of the Court of Queen's Bench, which would raise the question of the right of public meeting in Trafalgar Square. That being so, he would do all in his power to prevent people assembling in Trafalgar Square whilst the cases were sub judice.
§ THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR THE HOME DEPARTMENT (Mr. MATTHEWS) (Birmingham, E.)said, that if he might be allowed to say so, he had heard the hon. Member's statement with great satisfaction.
§
Question put, and agreed to.
House adjourned at five minutes before One o'clock till Monday next.
