Vietnam or Thailand ? Vote for the TOP Country of the Week !

An excited murmur traveled about the courtroom, and the judge picked up his gavel to suppress threatened applause. There could be no doubt as to the way popular opinion tended in this trial. Though the applause was stopped before it began, one could feel the crowd's animus against the prisoner no less than if they had shouted "Hang him!" with one voice.
McPherson, the presiding officer, and watched the proceedings, I thought that if I had had that gavel in my hands there would have been no adjournment and James G. Blaine would have been nominated. An adjournment was secured, however; the lights were extinguished, and the enemies of Blaine united, and Hayes became the nominee.
"Your honor !" cried Edwards. "I insist." The cadet judge rapped his gavel. "Polaris counsel will speak." "Thank you, your honor. I just wanted to say that the members of the Polaris unit defer to the Capella unit. I submit, your honor, that it was nothing more than a misunderstanding and that both sides should be punished or freed." "Is that all?" asked the cadet judge. "Yes, sir," said Alfie.
Would the public feel like that, if they only knew?... The Speaker's gavel had come down like a pistol shot. One "war-hoss" as my neighbour called them after another proceeded to crush the member from Elkington. It was, indeed, very skillfully done, and yet it was a process from which I did not derive, somehow, much pleasure.
Speaker!" "Order! Order! Order! Question! Question!" The sharp blows of the Speaker's gavel rose above the din. The "previous question," that hated gag, was moved and carried. All debate came to a sudden end, of course. Triumph No. 1. Then the vote was taken on the adoption of the report and it carried by a surprising majority. Mr.
Jameson was interrupted, as he no doubt expected, by applause from floor and gallery. He stood rubbing his hands together, and it seemed to William Wetherell that the Speaker did not rap as sharply with his gavel as he had upon other occasions. "Gentlemen of the House," continued Mr.
Speaker Doby beat the stone with his gavel, while Mr. Crewe continued to lean back calmly until the noise was over.
The fall of the gavel will conclude the long and honorable terms of service of other Senators, who will be borne in kind remembrance by their associates who remain.
The gifted and attractive Reed had ruled often by aphorism and wit, but the unimaginative Cannon ruled by the gavel alone; and in the course of time he and his clique of veterans forgot entirely the difference between power and leadership. Even party regularity could not long endure such tyranny.
This federation was the incorporated fruit of the Congress of Women's Clubs, which Selma had attended as a delegate just previous to her divorce from Babcock, and she could not refrain from some exultation at the progress she had made since then as she sat wielding the gavel over the body of women delegates from every State in the Union. The meeting lasted three days.
