HOUSE OF COMMONS—TiIIS DAY.
Tho SPEAKER took the chair at four o'clock.
THE POLITICAL PRISONERS.
Mr. GLADSTONE, in reply to Mr. Moore, said he could at
the present time hold out no hope of the release of Captain
Burke and other political prisoners, and the state of Ireland
at that precise moment ;ustified the Government in adopt-
jug that course. •

PEACE PRESERVATION (IRELAND).
Mr. C. FORTEECUE then rose to move for leave to
bring in a bill to render life and property more secure
in Ireland. The bill consisted in point of form of enact-
ments amending the Peace Preservation Act of 1856, and
reviving some provisions contained in prior Acts, and
especially the Act of 1847, and the Act passed byj Lord Grey
in 1833. The right hon. gentleman said he did not propose to
place in the hands of the Executive any general power sue.
pending personal liberty, neither will it revive those provi-
sions of the Act of 1833 which related to the trial of offences
by court-martial. It provided the means of summary trial and
punishment Without jury, applicable to offences created
uncle' the bill. The principal provisions were directed against
tho possessicn of arms and gunpowder, the control over
persons moving about by night, compensation to indivi-
duals who had been the object of outrage and to their re-
latives in certain cases, and an increase of the powers at
present afforded by law for obtaining evidence. The bill was
proposed to subsist for a limited time, and would take
effect, in those districts of Ireland, which might be
proclaimed for the purposes of the Act by the Lord Lieu-
tenant. But, over and above those provisions confined
in their operation to the proclaimed districts in Ireland,
there were provisions relating to offences committed
against public order by the press, and intended to give more
effective powers to the Government, on their responsibility,
for the repression of these offences. The right hon. gentle-
man proceeded to state the reasons that had led the Govern-
ment to introduce the bill.
