Cornice above which a richly carved brattishing runs all round the House. 40 THE PALACE OF WESTMINStER. The centre of the southern end of the House is occupied by the Throne, and on either side of it, below the Gallery, is a doorway, l...eading to the Prince's Chamber. The northern end of the House has the Reporters' Gallery over the principal doorway in its centre. The Strangers' Gallery IS behind the Reporters'.
