In the Lords on Thursday Lord Salisbury announced that next

Monday Lord Lansdowne will move the appointment of the following Peers as the Committee to inquire into the charges against Lord Murray: Lords Halsbury, Lorebarn, Desert, Charnweed, and Sanderson. Lord Crewe stated that on Monday, "injustice to his friends," he would explain the circumstances in which Lord Loreburn and Lord Charnwood bad consented to serve. Evidently the rumours that Lord Lansdowne had had great difficulty in forming the kind of Committee he deal red were wholly uninformed. Nothing could be better than a Committee composed of two cross-bench Peers, one Unionist, and two Liberals. Judicial in character the Committee will certainly be.
