Among these was Mr.Logan.

Mr.Logan peered somewhat curiously at the angry faces and the shouting figures on the Tory Benches, and approached them with the view of finding out what it was all about.

His air, somehow or other, suggested--quite wrongly, as it turned out--to the Tories that he was meditating an assault upon some of them: and there rose angry cries from them of "Bar! Bar!" This, in Parliamentary language, means that the member is violating the rule against any member standing on the floor of the House, except in the narrow and short interspace which lies between the entrance door and the bar--a very small bit of free territory.

Logan, in his turn, was exasperated by these remarks, and used some retort.

Then there were renewed cries that he was not in order in standing up on the floor, together with a multitude of expletives at the expense of his party and himself.
