THERE was published last July in this Magazine an article called FROM THE LOBBY OF THE HOUSE OF COMMONS. In the course of that article a story was told of a report (published in the Sunday papers for December 7th, 1890,) of certain imaginary incidents in connection with the memorable proceedings in Committee Room Fifteen, and of the fate alleged to have befallen the writer for "the reckless use of his inventive faculties." are now assured that the story was inaccurate, that the report was not brought by the Irish Party to the notice of the Serjeant-at-Arms, and that the journalist's name (which was not mentioned in the article) was not removed from the list of Lobbyists. We desire therefore to express our regret for having given currency to the story, and to apologise for whatsoever annoyance or inconvenience may have been caused to anybody thereby.
