§ Ordered, That Mr. Austen Chamberlain be discharged form the Select Committee.—(Sir Alexander Acland-Hood.)
§ Motion made, and Question proposed, "That Mr. Hayes Fisher be added to the Select Committee.".—(Sir Alexander Acland-Hood.)
§ CAPTAIN DONELANI have a Motion on the Paper to substitute the name of Mr. Michael Reddy.
§ * MR. SPEAKERThe Motion cannot be made, but the hon. Gentlemen may object to the name which has been proposed.
§ CAPTAIN DONELANI do object, and with regard to the Gentlemen whose name I proposed I say the Motion may be unusual but the Irish Party desire to mark their appreciation, the admiration and esteem of their colleague who is now in prison. This is the opportunity they take of doing so. Although Mr. Reddy is at present under going hard labour in Tullamore Gaol, his colleagues, under the circumstances, appreciate him far more in prison than if he were on the floor of the House. Mr. Reddy was sentenced to imprisonment, and that sentence was confirmed by a
§ county court judge who, within the last week, disgraced himself on the bench——
§ * MR. SPEAKEROrder, order ‡ These observations are not relevant to the Question before the House, namely, whether or not Mr. Hayes Fisher should be added to the Committee. The hon. Gentleman objected to that name, because he thought that another Irish representative should be on the Committee; but the hon. Member cannot discuss the merits of a particular name or person on the present Motion.
§ MR. SWIFT MACNEILLI object most strongly‡—
§ MR. SPEAKEROrder, order‡ Only one speech can be made.
§ MR. SWIFT MACNEILL (addressing Captain Donelan)You have not finished your speech yet.
§ MR. SPEAKEROrder, order‡ The hon. Member has already spoken.
§ (3.18.) Question put by Mr. Speaker in pursuance of Standing Order No. l6.
§ The House divided:—Ayes, 222: Noes, 76. (Division List No.394.)
