C. PULESTON sure to come in at head of poll; but,
"from information received," appears he didn't.

Observe the eye of HAVELOCK-ALLAN on the alert. He cannot see behind
his back, but instinctively knows there is an Irish Member in the
vicinity. His teeth close, his moustache curls, his eyes glare. He
once publicly, in course of debate, sat upon an Irish Member; not
metaphorically, but physically. Irish Member, when he wriggled from
under, appealed to SPEAKER on point of order. SPEAKER ruled proceeding
decidedly out of order. "But I sat on him, TOBY, dear boy," HAVELOCK
said, triumphantly; "and I shall retain the impression to end of my
life."

"So will he," I observed, when HAVELOCK was safe out of hearing. He
doesn't like retorts.
The sketch of BAUMANN evidently taken at the moment he heard the
announcement of poll at North Salford. Seems to have knocked him
rather of a heap. Was known in House as Cupid's Bowman; a smart able,
useful Member, whom we shall all be glad to see back again.
