And then Mr.Brodrick was able to make his tardy apology, and the matter for the moment was ended.
[Sidenote: The interfering Milman.] There had been one little scene fiercer almost than any of the others.
When Mr.Mellor proceeded to call Mr.Sexton to order, Mr.Milman, the clerk at the table, handed to him, with some appearance of ostentation and of eagerness, the rule which allowed him to compel Mr.Sexton's withdrawal without an appeal to the House.

This provoked some now fiercely excited Irishmen to an outburst of blind rage.

They shouted at Mr.Milman fiercely, desperately--called upon him to leave the Chairman alone, to take the chair himself; and Mr.Sexton made a bitter little speech to the effect that it was Mr.Milman's malignant interference which had produced his suspension.

It was thought that on Wednesday this matter would be again raised; and even as early as noon there was a big array of members, expecting another outburst.

But Mr.Balfour held his peace.
