PAGE TWELVE i THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 21, 1940 Discover Rare Manuscript Of Cromwell's First Speech Owned By Perth Resident Kingston, Ont., Nov. 21--Written more than 100 years before the birth of Hansard, a rare manuscript re- porting parliamentary proceedings in a vital period of English history has been discovered by E. C. Kyte, librarian at Queen's University. Owned by: E. M. Sabiston, of Perth, Ont., the manuscript is one of the few extant which gives a re- port of Oliver Cromwell's first speech in Parliament. So rare is the manuscript, Mr. Kyte believes it is an exact copy of one owned by the Earl of Veru- lam, which is used by present-day historians to get an insight into con- ditions in England in 1628. Although Hansard (1752-1828) is regarded as the father of parlia- mentary reporting, the yellowed manuscript at Queen's is set out in the form that Hansard later made customary. Name of the speaker is in the margin and the speech given almost verbatim. His First House Speech ~ Halfway through the manuscript, in the report cf proceedings of the Committee for Religion, are these few lines: _.. "Mr. Cromwell said he had heard Py relation from one Dr. Beard, that Dr. Alabaster "popery in a sermon at St. ross, and that the Bishop of Win- fthester had charged him (Dr. Beard) fs he was his diocesan, to preach had preached flat | Paul's | of," begins the manuscript. Turbulence of events which led up to the outbreak of civil war in England are depicted in the historic document. Recorded at the end of the manuscript is the last session of the fateful session of British Pare liament, when Charles I was resolv- ed to ha,e his own way and beat down opposition. To quote from the manuscript: "On Monday, 2nd of March, as soon as prayers were ended, Sir John Finch, the Speaker, went into the chair. He delivered the King's com= mand for the adjournment of the House until Tuesday, a semmite following. "The House made him answer that it was not the of'ice of the Speaker to deliver any such cofimunication unto themselves, and after they had of the House it did properly belong unto thtmselves, and after they had ordered some things as: they saw fit, they would satisfy His Majesty.

Hollis notwithstanding the endeavor of Sir Charles Edmonde, Sir Hum- phrey May and other Privy Coun- mothing to the contrary." vw. This is the first utterance in the House of Commons of a man who | Avas within 20 years to become the | (greatest figure in England. "A true relation of all the pro- dings in Parliament in the last [Lsession, beginning the 20th of Janu- | a, 1628, until the dissolution there- sellors to free the Speaker, swore a | great oath he should sit still until they pleased to rise." After more discussion, the House, by the mouth of Sir Denzill Hollis, moved its own adjournment, and it was 11 years before Parliament | again assembled in those historic halls. QUEBEC ELECTION RESULTS SHROUDED IN UNCERTAINTY Liberals bonne Riding But Behind in Megantic by 54 Votes + Quebec, Nov. 20 (CP)--The results | of two bitterly-contested Quebec Jprovincial by-election campaigns ~mwere locked up in the ballot boxes "today, one definitely a victory for "Premier Godbout's Liberal govern=- ment but the other on the basis of Known figures, a gain for the Union Nationale party of former Premier Maurice Duplessis. Hon. Hector Perrier, recently ap- pointed provincial secretary, carried 'Terrebonne yesterday by more than 1,000 votes over Leonard Blanchard, Union Nationale, but in Megantic Tancrede Labbe, the Uricn Nation- ale candidate there, had a 54-vote margin over the Liberal, Alphonse Olivier. Labbe's margin was on the basis of figures gained from what return- ing officer Arthe Dostie termed "the best sources possible." Dostie said it was made on a count of detailed figures for each candidate from 42 "polls of the riding's 71, and on ma- Jorities reported from others. In some cases he had ectly from deputy returning officers. | He did not belie e the result of the election could be known definitely until declaration day, Nov. 26, when the ballot boxes will be opened. Dostie announced Labbe's major- ity after a re-check of figures which had been counted earlier to give a margin of 27 to Olivier. Olivier's suppcerters at the end of the night declared they were "conceding noth- ing" before Nov. 26 thcugh on '"in- complete returns" Labbe "appeared" to be elected.

Marshall sald flatly that no bombers released for British pur- | chase would have the Norden sight, which has been developed by the navy and subsequently adopted by both branches of the United States armed gzervices. The chief of staff then announc- ed that the negotiations were under way for the release to Britain of 20 B-170 bombers--the 'longt diss tance "flying for'resses' made by the Boeing Aircraft Corporation of Seattle, Wash. Asked if these planes would be the ones already delivered te the United States army or others sche- duled for delivery in the near fu- ture, he said that would depend upon whether it was faster to sub- stitute the Rperry Jor the secret Norden bombsight in existing planes or in machines still on the produc- tion line, were being given priority on deliveries of B-24 bombers, four-engined ships just to come from the Consolidated Air- craft plant, Gen.

Poor weather conditions hamper- | ed searciiing planes yesterday, and | a short time after one of four planes | had sighted the man on the ground, | the weather grew so bad that the search had to be abandoned temp- | orarily. All through the night, a high wind washed waves against the res- cue planes beached at Estcourt, near | here, and extra lashings were need- | ed to keep the planes close to shore. A Maine camp supervisor between East Lake and Rocky Mountain on | the northern tip of Maine also re- | ported that a flier had been sight- | ed, but it was not clear if this was the same man found by the search- | ing planes, or one of the four still unaccounted for.

When the plane swooped | lower, they saw the flier, waving his hands, and apparently unhurt. Emergency rations were dropped, and then the plane was forced back to its base by the increasingly-dirty weather.

He was charged with manslaught- er of Louis Abourne, 22, a few hun- dred yards south of Greenbank about 9:20 pm, DS.T., Saturday, Nov. 2, when it was alleged that the deceased, Abourne, had been struck by a car driven by the accused. Hearing of crown witnesses pro- ceeded this morning in which de- fence counsel made submissions with | regard to the fdmisstbil , of their evidence. Publicity given by n by radio to the matter in client was invohed. was pt early in today's hearing Greer, He cited, in this regard, alleged re- ferences to the case Cl | ces surrounding the ina broadcast at 6:3Q Wi from Toronto, and news. cles stating that ni-ang fens are being considered, ection with the death of Louis Abourne, for, three Uxbridge garagemen. "If the attorney general's depart- ment released information of this kind," Mr. Greer protested to Mag- istrate Frank S. Bbbs, "then I must express surprise since that depart- ment is supposed to be concerned | about the rights of accused persons. "I view these references seriously | as being most discriminatory. I feel that my client's right to a fair trial | have been jeopardized although the sting of the matter in this case may be removed by time since my clients can't be brought to trial until spring. Dr. W. R. Cameron, Cannington, gave sworn testimony in regard the | autopsy he performed on a body which he was told was that of Louis: Abourne. Skull, Spine, Broken Cause of death was ascribed to a circular fracture at the base of the skull together with protusion of cerebellum, and to breaking of the spinal cord at a point near the place and his ed Mr. ws | where it is linked up with the brain system. The special character of that injury was commented upon as one for which he found no prece- dent in books of surgical reference. Other injuries about the body were chiefly those to be described as "burns" with underlying bruises, Apart from the head injuries, there were no other fractures found. Defence Counsel Greer insisted in questioning Dr. Cameron that Abourne could not have received his fatal head injuries from the car allegedly driven by his client since the deceased was taller than the car, being five feet six inches tall. Dr. Cameron stated that he was somewhat survrised to find Abourne had suffered no leg fracture, though there might have been skin burns to indicate his having been, in theory, scooped up off his feet by the bumper of the car that allegedly struck him. Plans Submitted Engineer Fulton of the Depart- "ment of Public Highways, Toronto, submitted in the witness box certain drawings of the highway and shoul- ders near Greenbank where the fatal accident was said to have oc- curred. Position of two large elm trees, 36 inches in diameter, with references to the highway and the scene of the accident were placed on file as trial exhibits. Mr. Fulton stated that he made the scale drawings on instructions from the attorney -general's depart- ment.

Apply 287 Division, ARE YOU THERE? YES INDEED, BUT BOMBS CRASH IN British Telephone Staffs Heroes Too, of Modern War By HAROLD FAIR (Canadian Press Staff Writer) London, Nov. 19 (AP).--Spare a word of praise for the British telephone and telegraph operators --in England it's the Post Office-- carrying on manfully amid drop- ping bombs as German night raid- ers turn the nights into flaming! hell, ! Listen to this: 8kylights came crashing down as a bomb fell near a telephone exchange. Doors and windows were blown in. But the night operators found some tar- paulins to cover the switchboard and continued to work, using en- gineers' headlamps for light so that the blackout would not be af- fected. Or this: Pire licked the walls of another telephone building, Fer hours, firemen, working while bombs continued to fall, sent tons of water pouring upward. Firemen advised the staff to quit the flame- lighted building, which presented 'an easy target, but the. remained on duty dealing with essential calls. Answering Cri m The two samples of heroism were | disclosed by PostmaSter-General W. S. Morrison following considerable criticism of the post office, which also administers Britain's telephone and telegraph system. Although the vast network of | the telephone system is vulnerable | to enemy alr attack, the main switching .and cperating centres of the system have not suffered wide- spread 'damage, he said. The un- derground cable plant which con- nects these centres has been dam- aged in common with other utility undertakings. Repairing these underground breaks is often difficult due to tons of debris, burst water mains and other obstacles but the post office staff tries. They have been handi- capped by losing so many experts to the armed fortes but a number have been 'released temporarily, ite all this disruption about 20,000 local calls a week are be- ing connegted in London alone in addition to about 300,000 long dist- ance calls and tol] calls originated | | weekly by London subscribers. Top Floor Danger A aunty in handling telephone calls is at the operating room generally is located on the top floor of a building to get the best light. Neverthéléss a nucleus staff always remai te essential calls. That staff has been enlarged to handle ordinary calls.
