London, May 27.—-The unseat- ing of Stuart Samuel, of the banking firm of Samuel, Montagu & Company, as member of par- liament for White Chapel, has led to an action brought by Os- wald Vernon Forbes, who, act- ing as a “common informer,” claims $23,000, being $2,500 for each day Samuel sat in the House of Commons illegally. “Samuel's counsel, when the case was call- ed for hearing yesterday, argued that the action was based on an act of 1782, whieh was super- seded by the act on union of 1801. The lawyer for the plaintiff contended that the claim was not made under any statute. He said Samuel, was directly interested in his firm’s silver deals with the Indian Government. The motive of the action, he said, was a pa triotic ene, as if it went to the House of Lords it would cost thousands of pounds. Baron Swaythling, head of the banking firm that was called as a witness, declined to produee the deed of partnership. The case was adjourned. cnetiesittlniniiid Opened by Duke of Connaught (Special to The Daily News.)

British Opinion on Rejection London, May 31.—The news- papers have little to say of the rejection of the naval bill by the Canadian Senate. The Standard and the Globe, both Unionist, agree that a constitutional crisis now opens up for Canada. The Pall Mall Gazette, and also the Globe, says now that extra war- ships cannot come from Cana- da, it is up to Winston Churchill to provide them. All that the Standard regrets is that so great an imperial matter should have been dragged into the sweat of party polities.
