In the House of Commons on Wednesday afternoon, while Mr.

Asquith was replying to Mr. Henderson's speech on the Finance Bill, a young man in the Strangers' Gallery flung a bag of flour and a packet of Suffragist leaflets at the Premier. He was promptly removed by the attendants, shouting, "Remember Miss Davison ! " and Mr. .Asquith resumed his speech amid general cheers. The man, who is a member of the Men's League for Women's Suffrage, was released when the House rose, but we understand that the question of his prosecution has been referred to the Director of Public Prosecutions.
