(Account.) 

Ordered, That the Papers relative to the Bank 
of  England,  Church  Temporalities  (Ireland), 
and  Irish  Land  Commission  (Account)  be 
printed. 

The  expenditure  authorised  by  the last  Par­
liament  is  being  duly  incurred;  but  as  the  

revenue required to meet it has not yet  been  pro­
vided  by  the  imposition  of  taxation,  recourse  

has  been  had, under Parliamentary  sanction,  to  

temporary  borrowing.  Arrangements  must be 

made  at  the  earliest  possible  moment  to  deal  

with the financial situation  thus created. 


My  Lords, and  Gentlemen,  


Recent  experience  has  disclosed  serious  diffi­
culties,  due  to  recurring  differences  of  strong  

opinion between  the two branches of  the  Legis­
lature. 


Proposals  will  be  laid  before  you,  with  all  

convenient  speed, to define the relations between  

the  Houses  of  Parliament,  so  as  to  secure  the  

undivided  authority  of  the House  of  Commons  

over  Finance,  and  its  predominance  in  Legis­
lation.  These Measures, in  the  opinion  of  My  

Advisers,  should provide that  this  House should  

be  so constituted  and empowered  as  to exercise  

impartially,  in regard  to  proposed  Legislation,  

the  functions of  initiation, revision, and, subject 

to proper  safeguards, of  delay.  


I  pray that the blessing of Almighty  God may 

attend your labours. 

Mr.  Speaker 
reports  His 

Speech. 	

Mr.  Speaker  reported,  That  the House  had, 
this day, attended  His  Majesty  in  the  House  of 
Peers, when  His  Majesty  was  pleased  to  make 
a most  Gracious Speech from the  Throne  to both 
Houses  of  Parliament;  of  which  Mr.  Speaker 
said  he  had,  for  greater  accuracy,  obtained  a 
Copy;  which he read to the House, as followeth : 

My  Lords, and Gentlemen, 

My  relations with  all  foreign  Powers continue 

to be friendly. 

The  establishment  of  the  Union  of  South 
Africa  has been  fixed  at  the end of  May, when 
its  new  Government  will  be  constituted,  and 
soon  afterwards  the  first  Parliament,  repre­
senting  a  consolidated  electorate, will  be ready 
to assemble for its important deliberations. 

I  am  sending  My  son,  the  Prince  of  Wales, 
to make  an extended journey  through My  South 
African possessions  in  the autumn, before open­
ing,  in My  name, the  first  Session of  the  new 
Legislature  at Cape  Town. 

It  is with peculiar  interest  and  pleasure that 
I  contemplate  this visit, when My  son will  have 
the privilege, not  for  the  first  time, of  inaugu­
rating  the Parliamentary  life  of  a  great  united 
Dominion,  and  will  convey  to  South  Africa, on 
behalf  of  Myself  and  the  Empire,  our  ardent 
prayers  for  the welfare  and  future  progress of 
her people. 

In  conformity  to  the  important  Measure  of 
last  year,  for  extending  the  functions  of  the 
Legislative  Councils of India  and increasing the 
number  of  their  Members,  those  bodies  have 
been elected, and have met.  They  have entered, 
with good  promise, upon the enlarged duties and 
responsibilities  entrusted  to them. 

Gentlemen  of  the  House of Commons, 

The  Estimates for the Service  of  the  ensuing 
year  will  be  laid  before  you  in  due  course, 
They  have  been  framed with the  utmost desire 
for  economy;  but the requirements of  the Naval 
Defence  of  the Empire  have  made  it necessary 
to  propose  a  substantial  increase  in the cost of 
My  Navy.  \ 

You will also  be  asked  to complete  the  pro­
vision  which  was  made  in  the  last  Session  of 
Parliament for  the  year about to expire, but to 
which  effect has not yet been given. 

A  Motion was  made, and  the  Question  being  King's  Speech 
proposed, That  an humble Address be presented  (Motion  for an 
to  His  Majesty,  as followeth : 

Address.) 

Most  Gracious  Sovereign, 

We,  Your  Majesty's  most  dutiful  and  loyal 
subjects, the  Commons of  the  United  Kingdom 
of  Great  Britain  and  Ireland,  in  Parliament 
assembled, beg leave to  offer our humble  thanks 
to Your  Majesty  for  the Gracious Speech  which 
Your  Majesty has  addressed  to  both  Houses of 
Parliament—(Mr.  Illingworth); 

And  a Debate  arising thereupon  ; 
And  a Motion  being made, and  the  Question 
being  put, That  the  Debate be now adjourned— 
(Mr. Barnes) :—It  was resolved  in the Affirma­
tive. 

Ordered, That  the  Debate  be  resumed  to­

morrow. 

Resolved,  That this House  do now  adjourn.- 1 Adjournment.

And  accordingly  the  House,  having  con­

tinued  to  sit  till  fourteen  minutes  after  

Eight  of  the  clock,  adjourned  till  to­

Duration

(In  the  Committee.) 
Money  Bills. 

Question  again  proposed  : 
1.  That  it  is  expedient  that  the  House  of 
Lords  be  disabled  by  Law  from  rejecting  or 
amending  a  Money  Bill,  but  that  any  such 
limitation  by  Law  shall not  be taken  to  diminish 
or  qualify  the  existing  rights  and  privileges  of 
the  House  of  Commons. 

For  the  purpose  of  this  Resolution  a  Bill 
shall  be  considered  a  Money  Bill  if,  in  the 
opinion  of  . the  Speaker,  it  contains  only  pro-
visions  dealing  with  all  or  any  of  the  following 
subjects, namely, the imposition, repeal, remission, 
alteration,  or  regulation  of  taxation;  charges on 
the Consolidated  Fund or  the provision of  money 
by  Parliament;  supply  ;  the  appropriation,  con-
trol, or regulation  of  public  money ;  the  raising 
or  guarantee  of  any  loan  or  the  repayment

A  Motion  was  made, and  the  Question  being  Tariffs, 

proposed,  That,  in  the  opinion  of  this  House, 
the  Tariffs  of  foreign  countries  have  tended  to 
hinder the  development  of  the trade and  industry 
of  the  United Kingdom,  to  aggravate  unemploy-
ment  and  distress  throughout  the  country,  and 
to  affect  prejudicially  the  commercial  and  other 
relations  between  the  various  parts  of  the 
Empire;  and  that  an  alteration  of  our  present 
fiscal system is urgently  needed to  secure greater 
facilities for  exports to tariff-proteCted  countries, 
to  diminish  unemployment,  and  to  establish 
reciprocal  preference  within  the  Empire—(Mr. 
Hamilton Benn) :—And  a Debate  arising  there-
upon ; 

Mr.  Hamilton.  Benn  rose  in  his  place  and Closure 
claimed  to  move,  That  the  Question  be  now^mec^but 
put;  but  Mr.  Speaker  withheld  his  assent,  and withholds his 
declined  then  to  put that  Question  :—Then  the assent. 
House  resumed  the  Debate. 

An  Amendment  was  proposed  to  be  made  to 
the  Question,  in  1.  2,  by  leaving  out  frOm  the 
word  "  House  "  to  the  end  of  the  Question,  and 
inserting  the  words  "  the  proper  method  of 
fighting  hostile  Tariffs  is by  the  maintenance  of 
free  imports,  and  any  alteration  of  the  present 
fiscal  system  which  involves  the  abandonment 
of  the  principle  of  taxation  for revenue  purposes 
only, and necessitates the imposition  of  protective 
taxes  on  corn, meat, dairy  produce,  and  the  raw 
materials  of  any  industry,  would  increase  un-
employment  and  be  disastrous  to  the  commerce 
and  prosperity  of  the  United  Kingdom"—(Sir 
George  Kemp),—instead  thereof.

His  M A J E S TY  being  this  day  present 

Declaration:-  

in  Council  was  pleased  to  make  the  following The King'S 
Declaration. 

"  My  Lords  and  Gentlemen, 

It  is  My 
"  My  heart  is  too  full  for  Me  to  address  you  to-day  in  more  than  a  few  words. 
In  this 
sorrowful  duty  to  announce  to  you  the  Death  of  My  dearly  loved  Father  the  King. 
irreparable  loss,  which  has  so  suddenly  fallen  upon  Me  and  upon  the  whole  Empire,  I  am 
comforted  by  the  feeling  that  I  have  the  sympathy  of  My  future  Subjects,  who  will  mourn 
with  Me  for  their  beloved  Sovereign, whose  own  happiness  was  found  in  sharing  and  promoting 
I  have lost  not  only  a  Father's  love,  but  the  affectionate  and  intimate  relations  of  a 
theirs. 
dew  friend  and  adviser.  No  less  confident  am  I  in  the  universal  loving  sympathy  which  is 
assured  to  My  dearest  Mother  in  Her  overwhelming  grief. 

'' Standing  here  a  little  more  than  nine  years  ago,  Our  beloved  King  declared  that  as  long 
as  there  was  breath  in  His  body  He  would work  for  the  good  and  amelioration  of  His  People. 
I  am  sure  that  the  opinion  of  the  whole  Nation  will  be  that  this  declaration  has  been  fully 
carried  out. 

" T  o  endeavour  to  follow  in  His  footsteps,  and  at  the  same  time  to  uphold  the  constitutional 
government  of  these  Realms,  will  be  the  earnest  object  of  My  life.  I  am  deeply  sensible  of 
I  know  that  I  can  rely  upon 
the  very  heavy  responsibilities  which  have  fallen  upon  Me, 
Parliament  and  upon  the  People  of  these  Islands  and  of  My  Dominions  beyond  the  Seas  for 
their  help  in  the  discharge  of  these  arduous  duties,  and  for  their  prayers  that  God  will  grant 
Me  strength  and  guidance.  I  am  encouraged  by  the  knowledge  that  I  have  in  My  dear  Wife 
one  who  will  be  a  constant  helpmate  in  every  endeavour  for  Our  People's  good." 

Whereupon the Lords of the  Council made it their humble request to  His Majesty  that 
His  Majesty's  Most Gracious Declaration  to their Lordships  might  be  made  public* 
which  His  Majesty  was pleased to order  accordingly,

Petersburgh,  9th May. 

To the  Speaker, Parliament, 

House of  Commons,  London. 

The  Douma of  the  Empire, at  its  sitting  of 
the 26th April  (9th  May), has  charged  me  with 
the duty  of interpreting to  you the sentiments of 
profound condolence  and  of  sorrowful sympathy 
which  it  experiences  on  the  occasion  of  the 
decease  of  His  Majesty  King  Edward  VII. 
The  mourning  of  your  country  has  found  a 
unanimous  echo  in  the  representatives  of  the 
Russian nation, which  loses  in the  person of  the 
late King  a near relative  of the Imperial Family 
of  Russia,  a  sure  friend  and  constant  well-
wisher, a  monarch  devoted  to  the  maintenance 
of  universal peace. 

Please convey  to the  House of  Commons  the 
expression  of  the  sentiments  which animate  the 
Douma of the Empire,  as  well  as the  profound 
assurance  which it feels that the bonds of  friend­
ship between  our  two  countries,  which  received 
so powerful  an impulse from the great  Sovereign 
who has passed away, will not  cease  to  be  deve­
loped and strengthened  for  the  greatest good  of 
both nations.

We,  Sir  Walter  George  Frank  Phillimore,

Judges  of  the  High  Court  of  Justice, and two 
of  the  Judges  on  the  rota  for  the  time  being

Do  hereby certify,  in  pursuance  of  the  said 
Acts,  that  upon  the  27th, 28th, 29th, and 30th 
days of April  1910, and the 2nd and 3rd days of 
May  1910, we duly held a Court at the Justices' 
Room,  Borough  Buildings,  Hartlepool,  for  the 
trial of, and did try, the  Election Petition  for the 
Borough  of  the  Hartlepools,  in  the  County  of 
Durham,  between  Joseph  Forster  Wilson  and 
John  Roger  Butterwick,  Petitioners,  and  Sir 
Christopher Furness, Respondent. 

And, in further  pursuance  of  the  said  Acts, 
we  certify  that,  at  the  conclusion  of  the  said 
trial,  we determined  that  the  said  Sir  Christo­
pher Furness, being the Member  whose Election 
and return were complained of  in  the said Peti­
tion, was not duly  elected  and returned;  and we 
do hereby certify in writing  such our  determina­
tion to you. 

And  whereas charges were  made  in  the  said 
Petition of  corrupt  and  illegal practices having 
been  committed  at  the  said  Election,  we,  in 
further  pursuance  of  the  said  Acts,  report  as 
follows:—

proved  to  have  been  committed  by,  or  with 
the knowledge  or consent of,  any  candidate 
at the said  Election; 

(2)  That  George  Bernard  Butler  was  proved 
to  have  been  guilty  of  the illegal  practice 
of  having,  as  election  agent,  not  trans­
mitted  to the returning officer a true return 
respecting  his expenses at the said Election, 
and  that  William  Wallace  was  proved  to 
have  been  guilty  of  the  illegal  practice of 
having  before,  during,  and  after  the  said 
Election  made  payments  in  respect of  the 
conduct and management  of  the said  Elec­
tion  otherwise  than  by  or  through  the 
election agent of  the  candidate; 

(3)  That  there  is  no  reason  to  believe  that 
corrupt or illegal practices have extensively 
prevailed  at the said Election ; 

(4)  That  the	  said  Sir  Christopher  Furness 
was  guilty  by  his  agents  of  the  illegal 
practices mentioned  in  paragraph  2  of  this 
Report; 

(5)  That	  no  certificates  of  indemnity  have 
been furnished  to  the  persons found guilty 
of  the  illegal  practices  mentioned  in  para­

Honoured  Sir, 

At  the  sitting  of  the  House  of  Deputies  of 
the  Reichsrat  on  May  10th  last  I  devoted  the 
following  words,  as  President  of  the  House, 
to  the  memory  of  His  late  Majesty  King 
Edward  V I I.  :  ­

Honourable  House I King  Edward VII. has 
been called away from his life, so rich in power 
and success.  (The House rises.) 

With deep sorrow  we think of the severe loss 
suffered by  the English  nation,  our traditional 
friends, and its Royal House. 

King  Edward  was  bound  by  friendship  and 
admiration  to  our  august  Monarch,  who  has 
already  given  expression  to  his deep  sympathy. 
In  his  sorrow  are  united  the  feelings  of  all 
the  peoples  of  Austria,  who,  at  the  same  time, 
recollect  the  keen  predilection  with  which  the 
deceased  Sovereign  clung  to  our  beautiful 
country,  which  he  repeatedly  visited,  and  in. 
which  he was always  received  with  the warmest 
sympathy. 

By  rising  from  your  seats,  Gentlemen,  you 
have given  appropriate  expression  to your  deep 
feelings,  and  thereby  decided  that  this  mani­
festation of  mourning  on  the part  of  the House 
of  Deputies  shall  be incorporated  for  perpetual 
remembrance  in  the official minutes. 

At  the  same  time,  1  beg  the  honourable 
House  to  authorise  the  President's  Office  to 
convey  our  sincere  sympathy  through  the 
Government  to  the  Speaker  of  the  English 
Lower  House. 
(After  a  pause.)  With  your 
assent thus given  this will  be dofle.

Accept,  honoured  Mr.  Speaker, the  assurance 

of  my  highest respect.

with a Message  of  Condolence  from this  House, 
appeared  at the  Bar and reported  Her  Majesty's 
Answer: 

I  thank you with all My heart for the Message 
of  Condolence  which you  have presented,  I  am 
deeply  sensible of the warmth  of  your  sympathy
in My  irreparable loss, and  the assurance  which 
you give  Me of the unalterable  affection of  your 
House and  the  nation will  help  to  sustain  Me 
in My  great  grief. 

Mr.  Chancellor  of  the  Exchequer  (at  the  Message  from

Bar)  acquainted  the  House  that  he  had  a the  King
Message  from  His  Majesty  the  King  to  t h i s ^  0  ^ ^ 
House, signed by His Majesty's own hand:  And 
he presented the same to  the House;  and it was 
read  by  Mr. Deputy  Speaker  (all  the  Members 
of  the  House being  uncovered),  as followeth : 

GEORGE	  R.I. 

The  demise of  the  Crown renders it  necessary
that  a renewed  provision  shall  be made for  the 
Civil  List. 

His  Majesty  places  unreservedly  at  the  dis­
posal of  the  House of  Commons those  hereditary 
revenues  which  were  so  placed  by  His  pre­
decessor ;  and  has commanded  that  the  Papers 
necessary  for a full  consideration  of  the  subject 
shall be laid before the  House. 

His Majesty is further desirous that competent 
provision  should  be  made for  Her  Majesty  the 
Queen  in the event of  Her surviving  Him;  and 
for  His Majesty's younger  children in  the  event 
of  their respectively  attaining  their  majority  or 
marrying. 

The revenues of  the  Duchy  of  Cornwall will,

in  His  Majesty's  judgment,  so  far  as  can  at  

present  be foreseen, be  sufficient  for  the  main­
tenance  of  His  Royal  Highness;  and  His 
Majesty  does not propose to invite the  House  to  

make  any  further  provision  for  that  purpose.  

But  His  Majesty  desires  that,  in  the  event  

of  His  Royal  Highness  marrying,  a  suitable  

provision  shall  be  made  for  the  Duchess  of  

Cornwall. 


His  Majesty recommends  the consideration  of 
these several  matters  to  His faithful  Commons, 
and relies on their attachment  to  His person and 
Family  to  adopt such  measures  as  may be suit­
able to the occasion. 

The  Prime  Minister  (at  the  Bar)  acquainted  Message  from 

the  House  that  he  had  a  Message  from  Histha Kil?g 
Majesty  the  King to  this House, signed  by  His
Majesty's  own  hand:  And  he  presented  the 
same  to  the  House ;  and  it  was  read  by  Mr. 
Deputy  Speaker  (all the  Members of  the  House 
being uncovered),  as followeth  : 

a

The  uncertainty  of  human  life,  and  a  deep 
sense  of  My  duty  to  My  people,  render  it 
incumbent  upon  Me  to  recommend  to  you  to 
consider  contingencies which  may hereafter take 
place,  and  to  make  such  provision  as  will,  in 
any  event,  secure  the  exercise  of  the  Royal 
authority. 

I  shall  be  prepared  to  concur  with  you  in 
those measures which may appear best calculated 
to  maintain  unimpaired  the  power  and  dignity 
of  the  Crown,  and  thereby  to  strengthen  the 
securities  which  protect  the rights and  liberties 
of  My  people.

that,  under  a  full  conviction  of  His  Majesty's 
beneficent  intentions,  this  House will, with  the 
least possible delay, apply itself  to the discussion 
of  the  high  and  important  object  which  His 
Majesty  has  been  pleased  to  propose  to  its

John  Murphy  and Daniel  Collins, Petitioners. 
Eugene  O'Sullivan,  Respondent. 

To  the Right  Honourable  the  Speaker of  the 

House  of  Commons. 

We, the Right Honourable Dodgson Hamilton 
Madden  and  the  Right  Honourable  William 
Kenny, two  of  the Judges  of  the  High  Court  of 
Justice  in  Ireland  on  the  rota  for  the  time 
being  for  the  trial  of  Parliamentary  Election

Do  hereby  certify, in  pursuance  of  the  said 
Acts, that upon the 21st, 22nd, 23rd, 24th, 25.th, 
27th, and 29th  days of  June  1910  we duly  held, 
at the  Court  House,  Killarney,  a  Court for  the

the East Kerry Division of the County of  Kerry, 
between  John  Murphy  and  Daniel  Collins, 
Petitioners,  and  Eugene  O'Sullivan,  Respon< 
dent. 

And,  in  further  pursuance  of  the said  Acts, 
we  certify  that  at  the  conclusion  of  the  said 
trial  we  determined  that  Eugene  O'Sullivan, 
being  the  Member  whose  Election  and  return 
were complained  of in the said  Petition, was not 
duly  elected  and  returned,  and  that  the  said 
Election  was void ;  and we do hereby certify  in 
writing  such our determination  to you. 

And  whereas  charges were  made  in  the  said

been  committed  at  the  said  Election,  we,  in 
further  pursuance  of  the  said  Acts,  report  as 
follows:— 

(1)  That  corrupt	  practices  were  proved  to 
have  been  committed  with  the  knowledge 
and consent  of  the said  Eugene  O'Sullivan, 
and that the nature of such corrupt practices 
was undue  influence and  intimidation  exer­
cised  in  order  to  induce voters  to  vote for 
the  said  Eugene  O'Sullivan,  or  to  refrain 
from  voting 
for  the  Petitioner,  John 
Murphy,  who  was  the  candidate  opposed 
to  him,  and  that  we  differ  as  to  whether 
such  undue influence and  intimidation were 
exercised  by  the  said  Eugene  O'Sullivan 
personally. 

(2)  That	  the  said  Eugene  O'Sullivan  was 
proved  to  have  been  guilty  of  the  said 
corrupt practices through his agents, Patrick 
Daly, John  Hlick  Sullivan,  and  Cornelius 
Kelliher,  and  that  the  corrupt  practices 
•committed  by  the  said  Patrick  Daly  and 
John  Ulick  Sullivan  were  committed with 
the  knowledge  and  consent  of  the  said 
Eugene  O'Sullivan. 

(3)  That	  the  following  persons  have  been 
proved  to  have  been guilty  of  the corrupt 
practice  of  personation  :  Thomas  Russell, 
Patrick  Cronin,  James  Conner,  Martin 
Cronin. 

(4)  That  none of  the aforesaid  persons  have 
been  furnished  with  certificates  of  indem­
nity. 

(5)  That  corrupt  or illegal  practices have not 

extensively  prevailed  at  the said  Election,  

nor  is  there  reason to  believe  that  they  did  

extensively  prevail thereat.

Majesty :—­

Translation. 

Sir, 

Hungarian  House  of  Deputies, 
Budapest,  14th July  1910. 

At  the time  when  the sad tidings  of  the death 
of your august Sovereign,  His late Majesty King 
Edward  VII.,  have  reached  us,  our  country 
found itself amid parliamentary elections, and the 
new  House of  Deputies  was not yet  constituted. 
Now  that  Parliament  has  again  been  con­
voked, the Hungarian  House of  Deputies hastens 
to  express  its  deepest  sympathy  on  the  great 
loss  sustained by  Great  Britain, and, indeed, by 
the  whole  civilised  world,  by  the  departure  of 
your late  Sovereign. 

The  uprightness  of  heart,  the  loftiness  of 
genius, and many other  admirable  qualities that 
have  distinguished  His  late  Majesty,  the  per­
sonal  friendship  which  attached  him  to  the 
bearer  of  Saint  Stephen's  Hungarian  Crown, 
and  Hungary's profound  sympathy  for the great 
English  nation,  made  all  of  us  keenly  feel 
Britain's great loss. 

I  beg  leave,  Sir,  to  request  you  kindly  to 
bring to the knowledge of  the House of  Commons 
the  expression  of  the  deepest  condolence  and 
sympathy  of  the  Hungarian  House  of  Deputies 

on the lamented  death  of His late Majestv  King 
Edward  VII. 

I  have the honour to  be, 
Sir, 
Your  most obedient humble  servant, 

A .  B E R R E V I C Z Y, 

President  of the  Hungarian  

House of  Deputies.

House of  Lords, and (II.)  the Relations  between 
the Two  Houses of  Parliament, viz.:— 
I.	  Reform of  the  House of  Lords : 

1.	  That  a  strong  and  efficient  Second 
Chamber  is  not  merely  an  integral part  

of  the  British  Constitution,  but is neces­
sary to  the  well-being  of  the  State  and

by  the  reform  and  reconstitution  of the  

House of  Lords.  


3.  That  a  necessary  preliminary  of  such  

reform and  reconstitution  is  the  accept­
ance  of  the  principle  that the possession 

of  a  Peerage  should  no  longer  of  itself  

give  the  right  to  sit  and  vote  in  the  

House of Lords. 


4.  That  in future the  House of  Lords  shall 

consist  of Lords  of  Parliament— 

A.  Chosen by the whole body of  heredi­

tary  Peers  from  among  themselves 
and by nomination by  the  Crown.

Houses with regard  to any Bill other 
than  a  Money  Bill  in two successive 
Sessions, and with  an interval  of  not 
less than one year, and such difference 
cannot  be  adjusted  by  any  other 
means,  it  shall  be  settled  in a Joint 
Sitting composed of Members  of  the 
Two  Houses : 

Provided  that  if  the  difference relates 
to a matter which  is of great gravity, 
and  has  not  been  adequately  sub­
mitted  for  the 
judgment  of  the 
people,  it  shall  not  be  referred  to 
the  Joint  Sitting, but  shall  be  sub­
mitted for  decision to the electors  by

King's  Speech.  And  afterwards, His  Majesty's Most  Gracious 

Speech  was  delivered  to  both  Houses  of  Par 
liament  by  the  Lord  High  Chancellor  (in 
pursuance  of  His  Majesty's  Commands),  as 
followeth : 

My  Lords, and  Gentlemen, 

1  address  you  for  the  first  time  under  the 
shadow of the  great  calamity  occasioned  by the 
death  of  My  beloved  Father. 
I  have received 
abundant  evidence  from  every  part  of  My 
dominions  that  the  irreparable  loss  which  has 
befallen  Me and My  Family  is  deeply lamented 
by  My  subjects.  Their  sympathy  has  fortified 
Me  in  My  sorrow, and  I  have  devoted  Myself 
to  the  duties  to which I  have  been  called  with 
the  earnest desire to follow  in My  dear  Father's 
footsteps. 

My  relations  with foreign Powers  continue  to 

be friendly. 

I confidently hope that the questions connected 
with  the  North  Atlantic  Fisheries  between 
Canada and  Newfoundland  on the one hand, and 
the  United  States  of  America  on  the  other, 
which  have  been  a  subject  of  controversy  for 
nearly  a century, have been  at last finally settled 
by  the award  of  The  Hague  Tribunal. 
It  is  a 
cause  of  special  satisfaction  that  it  has  been 
found possible  to solve, by  arbitration,  problems 
of  such  an intricate  and difficult nature, and that 
the award has been  received  on  both  sides in  a 
spirit which  must tend to increase  goodwill. 

I  recently  entrusted  to  My  Uncle, the  Duke 
of  Connaught,  the  mission  of  opening  the first 
Parliament  of  the  Union  of  South  Africa,  a 
ceremony  which  it  was  intended that  I  should 
Myself  perform.  It  is  My  earnest  hope  that 
under the Legislature  which  he has inaugurated 
South  Africa  will  continue  to  advance 
in 
happiness and prosperity. 

In  My  Indian Empire further effect has been 
given  to  the  scheme  of  administrative  reform 
authorised by  the Indian  Councils  Act  of  1909, 
by  the creation of  an Executive  Council for  She 
Province  of  Bengal. 

Gentlemen of the House of  Commons, 

I  note  with  satisfaction  the  liberality  with 
which you have  provided  for  the  requirements 
of  the year,  including  the  increased  grants  for 
the  Navy  and  the  additional  expenditure  upon 
Old  Age  Pensions consequent  upon the removal 
of the pauper disqualification  at the close  of  the 
present year. 

I  thank  you  for  the  arrangements  you have 
made  for  the  maintenance  of  the  honour  and 
dignity  of  the  Crown. 

My  Lords, and  Gentlemen, 

I  regret  that the  Conference which took place 
with  a  view  to  arriving  at  a  solution  of' the 
recurring  difficulties between  the  Two Houses of 
Parliament has failed  to come  to  an agreement. 

I  am gratified  that you have passed into  Law 
the  Acts  dealing  with  the  Regency,  and  the 
form of  the  Declaration required  to  be  made  by 
the  Sovereign  on his  Accession. 

I  thank you for the  zeal with  which you  have 
carried  out  your  duties,  and  I  pray  that  the 
blessing  of  Almighty  God  may rest  upon  your 
labours. 

Then  a Commission for  proroguing the Parlia­

ment was read. 

After  which the Lord  Chancellor said : 

My  Lords, and  Gentlemen, 

By  virtue  of  His  Majesty's  Commission 
under  the  Great  Seal,  to  us  and  other  Lords 
directed, and now read, we do,  in  His  Majesty's 
Name, and in obedience  to  His  Commands, pro­
rogue* this Parliament to  Thursday  the fifteenth 
day  of  December  one  thousand  nine  hundred 
and  ten,  to  be  then  here  holden;  and  this 
Parliament is accordingly prorogued to Thursday 
the  fifteenth  day  of  December  one  thousand 
nine hundred and ten.
