§ Motion made and Question proposed, "That the House, at its rising, do adjourn until 12 o'clock on Friday."— (Mr. Secretary Jackson.)
§ DR. CLARK (Caithness)I have seen it reported that the so-called official statement of the grounds for the Home Secretary's decision in the May brick case was not accurate, and I wish to know whether that is so or not?
§ MR. J. G. TALBOT (Oxford University)I understand that demonstrations are being made in Wales against the collection of tithes, and notices have been put up threatening violence and the visits of Captain Moonlight. I wish to know whether the Government will take measures to maintain order?
§ MR. MATTHEWSI have no official information about the alleged tithe disturbances; but I shall continue, as hitherto, to afford the utmost possible protection to those who are simply carrying out the law. I am not quite sure to what report the hon. Member for Caithness opposite alludes. I have seen in most of the papers a statement of the supposed grounds of my decision, with which I find no fault; as far as I observe it is quite accurate.
§ Question put, and agreed to.
§ House adjourned at Eight o'clock.
