THE IRISH LAND BILL.

The House then went into committee on the Irish Land
Bill.

Dr. BALL moved an amendment, namely in clause first
line 20, insert the following paragraph where a tenant or
his predecessor intitle, has within the last ten years
before the passing of this Act taken, or where a tenant
shall hereafter take, a holding directly from his landlord,
without having given to the out-going tenant any valuable
consideration for the same, such holding shall thenceforth
cease to be subject to the Ulster tenant right custom.
Mr. GLADSTONE hoped that the hon. member would
not press the amendment.
The SOLICITOR-GENERAL said it would greatly compli-
cate the clause, and he urged Dr. Ball to withdraw it.
The amendment was withdrawn.

The remaining amendments to the clause being with-
drawn, it was agreed to, and the House adjourned.

• STRANGE RIOT IN BERKSHIRE.
The village of White Waltham, which is situated shalt
five miles from the Taplow Station of the Great Western
Railway, was the scene of a most extraordinary riot a '
day or two ago. A residence in the village, after having:
been unoccupied for a considerable time, has recently been.'
let, and a rumour was circulated that the house was to be
inhabited by some persons who were suffering from small-
pox. This report caused great excitement and indigna-'
tion amongst the poorer inhabitants of the village, and
upon the fact that the tenants had actually arrived
becoming known, a serious riot ensued. It appears that
some persons had been placed in the house, with instruc.'
tions to light fires in every room and thoroughly ventilate'
the place. Fires were accordingly lit, and between ten
and eleven o'clock at night a band of between forty and
fifty men, with blackened faces and armed with
axes, crowbars, and stones, their coats being turned inside'
out, made an attack upon the house, and broke open the"
front door. Having gained admission, they proceeded to
demolish the place. Doors were shattered to pieces
and pulled away from their hinges ; shelves, stairs,f
mantel-pieces, and even the fire-places were torn down
and broken. Fires were burning in every room
and the rioters piled the burning coals on the floor, and
placed pieces of the doors and stairs upon them, evidently
intending to burn the house. A large water-butt near
the back door was upset, in order that no water should be
procured to extinguish the fire, and the ruffians did not
leave until the house was a mere wreck. Although the
house is surrounded by cottages, no attempt was made to •
check the riot, nor have any of the perpetrators of the
outrage been arrested. The police, it is stated, haye
information regarding some of the ringleaders.

for winding up the Freehold and General Investment
Company has been withdrawn, a resolution disapproving
of it having been passed at a meeting of the company..
Vice Chancellor Malins has heard the case of Mr.
Warner, "In re the International Life Assurance
Society," which was selected for the purpose of repre-
senting 1,7,Q0 similar cases. The question raised
was, what the holder of a policy which was
existing at the date of the winding-up order was entitled
to Drove for, whether for the amount of the premiums he
had paid with interest, or for the value of his policy, or
for the amount he raiffht have to pay to another insurance
office on reinsuring. The Vice-Chancellor held that, as a
general rule, policy-holders should be allowed to prove for
the amount of the premiums they had paid with interest,
minus the bonuses they had received, but in no case was
more to be returned than the amount insured for.
