Lord Milton, who on Thursday se'nnight walked out of the

House in a huff because Mr. Stansfeld answered a question instead -of Mr. Lowe, on Friday night had somewhat recovered his equa- nimity, and put his question again, explaining that he had only -acted to maintain his constitutional right to an answer from a responsible Minister. Mr. Lowe, in return, explained that Mr. -Stansfeld understood the matter and he did not, and he thought Lord Milton would like an answer at first hand. The truth of the mutter seems to be that Mr. Lowe was a little brusque in not ask- ing permission to delegate reply in the usual way, and Lord Milton a little pompons about the respect due to himself. The right of interpellation is invaluable, but there is not much chance of any assault on it in England.
