The Freemasonry Quarterly Review.

orders , were permitted among strangers in the front of the gallery , and much pushing and squabbling often occurred , to the frequent interruption of members—yet no one ever dared to move that reporters should be " expelled . " In the present house their accommodation has been improved ; but in the new houses of parliament an acknowledged separate place is prepared for them ; and all this in the very teeth of " standing

orders" against the admission of strangers . Now and then a little fanfarronading about a question of " privilege" will occur , and for the information of the right honourable member for the fair city of Perth , and who is also Provincial Grand Master for Elgin and Moray , as well as heiv-apparent to a peer , we subjoin from The Times of the 23 rd of April last , a little coquetry on " privilege" that occurred on the previous day .

" In the House of Lords , last night , tlie JIarquis of AA estmeath rose to complain of the reports which had appeared in The Times anil Sun newspapers respecting his motion for leave to bring in a bill to restrain the waste of land in Ireland . The passage in The Times ran thus , 'The Marquis of VVestmeath complained of the ridicule with which his proposal had been received . ' Now he had complained of no ridicule , though he admitted that he hail felt hurt by the way in which

the Lord Chancellor had replied to his motion . If this system of malicious misrepresentation , for he was convinced that it was malicious , v . ere permitted to proceed , it would end in the destruction of all liberty of discussion ; he should therefore move that tlie printers of the two papeis in question be called to the bar of the house . " Lord Brougham allowed that it was absolutely necessary that the proceedings before their Lordships should go forth to the world with

fairness and accuracy , and would agree with the Marquis of AVestmeath that the misrepresentation complained of was worthy of censure . . But he would advise the noble Marquis to follow on this occasion the rule which he ( Lord Brougham ) had invariably pursued for thirty years , ami that was , not to interfere needlessly in such a case . He put it to the house whether the reports of their proceedings in nine hundred and ninety-nine cases out of every thousand were not given , not

only with signal ability , but with the most admirable impartiality ? No good had ever arisen to either House of Parliament from a needless contest with the press , and he trusted that the noble Marquis would be satisfied with having called the attention of the house to the matter , and that he would refrain from pressing his motion . "The Marquis of Lansdowne also dissuaded the noble Marquis from pressing his motion , and advised him to give the papers complained ol

an opportunity of correcting their report . " The Marquis of VVestmeath again expressed his conviction that the misrepresentation was deliberate and intentional , but would not persist in his motion against the opinion of the house . " The subject then dropped . "

But now to the question of the " Privilege Masonic . " The Right Honourable Brother on the memorable 2 nd of June last entered the , lists , as he thought , canniely , against the Freemasons
