TITHE RENT CHARGE.
Mr. GLADSTONE, in reply to a question from
Charley, said there did not appear to be any necessity f"
; to
and neither had the Government taken the matter .°
consideration.

THE IRISH CHURCH.
Mr. GLADSTONE said with respect to the ince°.
nience the Irish members would encounter in their
tendanco on committees by the house meeting on TllOl
morning, he hoped as the matter would last but 811°,4
time an effort would be made to get through the ee--
mittee business as speedily as possible.
BUSINESS OF THE HOUSE—THE MAYOR OF
CORK. the
Mr. GLADSTONE said he had now to make to
motion that the house would meet at two o'clock "to
Tuesday morning next. There was the greatest desire
•ele
get through the provisions of the bill as early as pOStil
and with that view he had to appeal to hon. member
who had motions on the paper, which it was their
tion of proceeding with on the motion. for going e d
committee of supply. Most of those motions 11
been postponed, and he did hope that the hon, naeln,,bs
opposite who proposed to call the attention of
ouse to the cause of Lavelle versus Proudiee;
tried at the last Galway assizes. He had to say that e
yet theAttorney-General had not completed his Walt
talents. The Government was in communication with
Lord Lieutenant, in , order to determine whether I"
was desirable to propose any measure to perils"
ment to strengthen the repression and suppression
of outrage, as it would be impossible to proceed wit'''
out complete information. With respect to the re
port that had been published in the newspapers oft h
speech of-the chief magistrate of the second cit in Reign
y t
viz., the Mayor of Cork, the Government at once eriv
steps to obtain correct information on the point.
eh
had received certain statements that the meeting at vit's
the objectionable remarks were uttered was not Ohs.,
could be properly called a public meeting, as very fe;
persons were present. At present he was net is
position to say the words used were correctlyj
reported ; but as yet they bad not reccireds
the requisite information. If it should turn cut that vier
were correctly repOrted, ho need hardly say the Gmfel;
ment would be in a condition to take all those meal the
it might be proper to adopt. As the information on '"
subject was as yet very imperfect, ho hoped the !e.
member for Liverpool, after the statement he had mad
would not press forward his motion that evening
call the attention of the house to recent events in Irelan
Sir R. PEEL said the right hon. gentleman said tild
meeting was only a small one, and that the remarks ba
not been made in the capacity of Mayor of Cork—(oO,
—but be that as it may, be should like to know whet4',
the Govermn?nt had received any telegram from the %1-$fAJa
of Cork to the effect that the remarks that he bad
were not intended to boar the inference that bad hoe"
put upon them.
Mr C. FOIiTESCUE said the Government wore at lb;
present moment not better informed than other member,
of the house, as the information they possessed 00
all derived from the newspapers. Ho had tilichee
the best course he thought he could adopt, VIZ.,
--te
had written to the resident magistrates in Corg
know if the words of the mayor were correctly repot 8e
and to that inquiry he had not yet received a reply.
st
thought they would all agree that it was e
te
,e
desirable that that information should be in te;
hands of Government before a discussion of the mitt
was gone into. He had just had a telegram placed in "t
hands by an hon. friend, which was to the following effe2
that, pending the intentions of the Government oe fr;
subject, the municipal council would take no notice of tij-s
matter, but the feeling of the council was entirely ageie-
the mayor.
The motion for the house meeting as proposed on Ttlee-
day was then agreed to, and kt
Mr. GRAVES then proceeded to make his motion WI
respect to the dangerous condition of certain parts of ire;
land. In the first place ho wished to know how &pert
who had been removed from the commision of the Pee—or
had been appointed mayor of Cork, and wilet,,h-0,
he was the same person who had never allows;,10
single bpporitinlty to pass of making treasons w 3
speeches with respect to England. He had hoar of
stated in some quarters that the dreadful state .0
matters in Ireland was Fenianism cropping up let
another form, but he did not believe that. Ho thong 4
the land question was the matter that lead to much
the bloodshed that bad taken place in Ireland, and in ltpe
dition to that it became their duty to ascertain whethn
there was any defect in the administration of the liov!r,
Ireland, or whether the Lord Lieutenant was wanting I f
firmness. Altogether the state of things in some Farte,,(:t
Ireland was alarming and dreadful, and he did hope tr.s
Government would give the house some assurance t" -a
they were doing all in their power to put down crime

outrage.
Mr. C. FORTESCIJE said he could assure the 11°71‘
gentleman that the Government were not wanting in
sire to put down the crime that had now reached an alalr;
ing height. He must, however, remind the hon.
but these agrarian crimes were not of sudden growth, -
they had began to show themselves when the present (-I°*.
verument came into office last year. The orilller:i
it seemed, were chiefly confined to Tipperary 6e
Westmeath, and he could assure the hon. gentleman
Government would do all in their power to put d°W,;,)
the disturbed state of things. in the strongest manner t'

law allowed.
After some discussion, in which very few new question
were raised, the topic was allowed to drop.
A motion was made by Sir J. ELPHINSTONE to rei
fer the question of the Game Laws in Scotland to a BO°
Commission.

Ultitna,tely it was withdrawn.
A division was challenged and gone through on it ,A 0
tiou for the issue of a new writ for Yougbal, but it '^
agreed to by 102 to 70 votes.
Tho house then adjourned.
