The " Days of April " ( journées d ' avril ) is a name appropriated in French history to a series of insurrections at Lyons, Paris and elsewhere, against the government of Louis Philippe in 1834, which led to violent repressive measures, and to a famous trial known as the procès d ' avril.

He was immediately appointed Attorney-General and Minister for Industry in the Lyons government.

In parliament on 13 March 1931, though still a member of the ALP, Lyons supported a no confidence motion against the Scullin Labor government.

The UAP came up four seats short of a majority in its own right, but Lyons formed an exclusively UAP government supported by the Country Party of Earle Page.

The Lyons government followed the conservative economic policies it had promised in opposition, and benefited politically from the gradual worldwide economic recovery as the 1930s went on.

The Lyons government stepped in and paid the debts and then passed the Financial Agreement Enforcement Act to recover the money it had paid.

Hughes was forced to resign, but the Lyons government tripled its defence budget.

Lyons became the leading advocate within the government of orthodox finance and deflationary economic policies, and an opponent of the inflationary, proto-Keynesian policies of Treasurer Ted Theodore.

Alienated by their attacks, Lyons began to consider suggestions from a group of his new business supporters, including influential members of the Melbourne Establishment, that he leave the government to take over the leadership of the conservative opposition.

In March, at about the same time as Lyons led his group of defectors from the right of the Labor Party across the floor, 5 left-wing NSW Labor MPs, supporters of New South Wales Premier Jack Lang, also split from the official Labor Party over the government's economic policies ( for Lyons they had been too radical, for the Langites they were not radical enough ), forming a " Lang Labor " group on the cross-benches and costing the government its majority in the House of Representatives.

After the 1934 election resulted in the government's loss of eight seats, Lyons was forced to invite the Country Party into his government.

In office, Lyons followed the same conservative financial policy he had advocated during the Scullin government, cutting public spending and debt.

Dame Enid Lyons later went into politics in her own right, in 1943 becoming the first woman to sit in the House of Representatives, and later the first woman Cabinet Minister in the Menzies ' Liberal government.

At the time of his resignation, McEwen had served 36 years and 5 months and was the last serving parliamentarian from the Great Depression era and the last parliamentary survivor of the Lyons government.

Since the Commonwealth Government had become responsible for state debts in 1928 under an amendment to the Constitution, the new UAP government of Joseph Lyons paid the interest to the overseas bondholders, and then set about extracting the money from NSW by passing the Financial Agreement Enforcement Act 1932, which the High Court held to be valid.

Lang then contended that the Act was rendered null and void by contravening the 1833 prohibition of slavery throughout the British Empire ; the Premier held that the actions of the Lyons government deprived the State of New South Wales of paying the wages of State employees and that this necessarily constituted an ( illegal ) state of slavery.

Lyons sent Hughes to represent Australia at the 1932 League of Nations Assembly in Geneva and in 1934 Hughes became Minister for Health and Repatriation in the Lyons government.

Soon after, the Lyons government tripled the defence budget.

He made little progress against Joseph Lyons ' government ( which was returned to office at the 1937 election by a comfortable margin ); but after Lyons ' death in 1939, Labor's position improved.

During the persecution of Marcus Aurelius, the Roman Emperor from 161-180, Irenaeus was a priest of the Church of Lyons.

While Irenaeus was in Rome, a massacre took place in Lyons.

He was buried under the Church of Saint John in Lyons, which was later renamed St Irenaeus in his honour.

Although it is sometimes claimed that Irenaeus believed Christ did not die until he was older than is conventionally portrayed, the bishop of Lyons simply pointed out that because Jesus turned the permissible age for becoming a rabbi ( 30 years old and above ), he recapitulated and sanctified the period between 30 and 50 years old, as per the Jewish custom of periodization of human life, and so touches the beginning of old age when one becomes 50 years old.
