On March 6th he was commenting on some item which he supposed was in a Post-office Estimate.

It was pointed out to him that the item to which he alluded was not in that particular vote at all, but in quite another vote, which came later on.

Jimmy, nevertheless, went on to discuss the item as if nothing had been said.

Then the long-suffering Chairman had to be called in, and he ruled--as every human being would have been bound to rule--that Jimmy was out of order.

Was Jimmy put down?
Not the least in the world.
