Origin of an English Custom.
Parliament's custom of assembling
for a new session on Tuesday instead
of on the first working day of the
week originated In the religious scru
ples of legislators of a century ago
In 1809 it was proposed that Monday
should be made the day of meeting,
but William Wilberforce. member of
parliament for the county of York,
pointed out that for himself and many
other members this would involve
Sunday traveling, a thing he abhorred.
So the day was changed to Tuesday,
and a Sabbatarian scruple lias ruled
the action of parliament to an era
which gees more motor cars on Sunday
than on any day of the week. London
