LONDON, May 26.—Steps are being taken at last to rear a memorial at Westminster to a legislator who has | been described as “Parliament’s only | martyr"—Sir John Eliot, the tercen- year Sir John was a baiter of kings when |royal will. It so happened that Charles 1 was the obiect of his an- parliamentary liberty. Sir John, who was born in 1592 and died in 1632, was the last member of Parliament to be imprisoned for words spoken in the House of Commons. Turned on King. Early in his career he riled King Charles by flaying one of his favor- ites, the Duke of Buckingham, for | incompetent management of a war ‘\fllh Spain, and eventually . secured his impeachment. He then turned on | tenary of whose death will occur this | it was most perilous to thwart the| noying attacks in Eliot’s defense of | and he held down in his chair while he himself indulged in a flery onslaught on His Majesty. Eventually the King went to West- minster and prorogued Parliament himself. Sir John was sent to the Tower and was fined the equivalent of $10,000 for calumniating the crown and assaulting the Speaker. Jalled Six Times. Because of his attacks on the mon- arch and .his favorites, Sir John was imprisoned on six occasions during his parliamentary career and eventually died in prison rather than admit that he was wrong in his fight for parlia- mentary liberty. But because of this persistent stand Charles refused to per- mit his body to be taken home for burial, writing across the petition ask- ing for the return of the body: “Let Sir John Eliot be buried in the church of the parish where he died.” Although not a republican, 8ir John's attitude toward the crown was one of the chief influences that resulted in the civil war 13 years later.
