Mr. Simon (Liberal Reformer) gave no.
fi
tice that he would move the reetitntion of
the Tranevaal.
Vatieus questions as to the legality of

Land League were announced, including
two by Idr, Parnell. fiTr. Parnell also gave
notice. of an .arnendment te the address to
the .Queendeclaring thatpeace cannot be
promoted by the suspension of the condi-

Mr. Justin McCarthy gave notice of an
amendment to the address as agreed upon
by the Horne Buie members.praying ,the
Queen to refrain from .employimig the intyY,
the police and the. military in enforcing
ejeotmenta where therent exceeds the poor
law valuation, pending the consideration by
Parliament of the land bill.
Sir Stafford Northcote said be conld not
congratulate the Government on the etate
of affairs in. the East, He attaeked he
GeVeroment for abandoning the Irish Peace
Preservation Act and 'for not resorting to
coercion long ago. The Government bad
broken down- in- Ireland and the mischief
was incalculable. The Government had
been guilty of criminal neglect. He refused
to believe .that any tinkering of the land
laws would effeetnally settle the question.
Information had reached him that 110t
• tenth part of the outrages eonimitted Were
reported, and that the mischief was grow-
ing.
Xr. Gladstone replied. that there was zio
• serious diffienity to apprehend in regard to
the Greek frontier question. step
taken had been taken in coneert with the
other, powers, which was the best method.
for solution of the question. The Govern-
ment was not responsible fer the Basnto
war. The late Government had not re-
commended the renewal of the Irish Peace
Preservation .Axit. If there was any censure
in connection with the' subjeet it belonged
to the. late Government, and not t the:
present Government, which only succeeded'
to office when the act had 'lapsed, and which
could only renew it. As to the accusations.,

wherever they had prohibitedanaeotiug,that

persons who were never Ur -might to trial:
()rime and violence bad prevailed iwIteland
to a far greater extent thannow. He woeld
not wan:tit:that the Land Act of 1878 had.
altogether failed; but he did admit that
now provisions were requisite as • to•the
assignment of tenants' interest, and that
clauses intended to give free. scope to the
experiment of oreatingy, peasant proprie-
tary were almost inoperative.' The Gov-.
crnment-dicl•m4 see their way to dealing
with the borough franchise inIreland this,

ing that the Goveroment, were addressing
themselves to: a task in which, owing to
human weakness, they Might . fail, but
Which 'would redound to the honer and.
happiness of -altif they succeeded. '

In the -Heine 'of Lords Earl Beaconsfield
made a long, speeph;',11e:'declitied that the•
accession of • the prebent• Governnient'had
unsettled everything ,in 'Europe, Asia and.
Ireland, by reversing the -policy of their
-prectecesscers, at'thetinie of whose oVerthrOw
peace was assured.- He strongly denounced
the °midi* of the GovernMent inWsating
until the last moment to propose repressive.
:measures in Ireland and said ciremostanees
warranted an amendment to the address in
that sense, but the state of Ireland required
'speedy meastres. He therefore recoil].

storing -order and liberty to the long-suffer-
