news, detailed the murder of V y below, of the shooting of sir henry w il so n . Field-Marshal Sir Henry Wilson was made known in Parliament, shortly after the tragic occurrence, both Houses immediately placed on record, by motions, their sorrow and their sympathy with Lady Wilson. In the House of Lords the Lord Chancellor gave such particulars of the crime as were then available, and a little later in the proceedings Lord Salisbury moved a resolution to the effect that the House desired to record its detestation at the crime and to express profound sympathy with Lady Wilson in her sorrow. He referred to Sir Henry W ilson as a personal friend of most of them and to his services in the war. The Lord Chancellor, after giving some further details of the murder, supported the motion. He sincerely 'hoped that the fact that the dead Field-Marshal differed, often profoundly, from some of the views of the Government would not be held a sufficient cause for repelling them or himself from giving expression to grief a t his loss and sympathy with his widow. Speeches were made also by Lord Crewe and the Bishop of Norwich in association with the motion, which was then agreed to. In the Commons Mr. Asquith asked the Leader of the House for information on the subject, and in reply Mr. Chamberlain related such particulars as he had then heard. He referred, as Mr. Asquith also had done, to the services rendered by Sir Henry Wilson in the war, and said that his death was not only a national but, for the House of Commons, a personal tragedy. He moved the adjournment o f the House as a mark of respect for their colleague and of their sympathy with his widow. The motion was at once agreed to and the House adjourned.

, Question-time on Friday was ir ish s tatem en t . i3Fg‘oIy taken up with questions to the Government on the Wilson murder, especially as to the advisability of arming police on special duty. The Home Secretary said that arms were provided, which the police took on special occasions when they so chose, but it was not thought right to compel them to carry arms when they did not wish to do so. Mr. Chamberlain announced that the discussion on Irish affairs which it had been intended to have on the following Tuesday would be taken on Monday instead. On that day, accordingly, there was a crowded and expectant House for the eagerly awaited Government statement. In another connection the Lords also had Ireland before them, on a complaint by Lord Midleton against the Morning Post, which; had implied that Southern Unionists viewed the murder of Sir Elenry W ilson with complacency. Earl Bathurst defended the paper, and after some discussion the matter dropped. In the Commons the House went into Committee of Supply on the vote for the Irish Office, and Mr. Churchill at once proceeded to his statement. Two issues, he said, were before them : as to the means for protecting individuals in this country against assassination, and as to the general position in which our Irish policy stood. After a review of circumstances since the Treaty, he said that the first great object of the policy of the Imperial Government was to get from the Irish people, by a free election, an expression of
