all the avenues leading TO The House, and the gale
ny was completely filed within u few minutes Of

hour on any evening during the session.
The Speaker resumed The Chair shortly inter
| Eve.
! Lord PALMGRsroa presented copy of,ho Qund.
ruplc treaty. In moving that it do lie on the Ia
ble the Noble Lord SAID he felt his duty TO state
lint the delay that had arisen IN the presentation
of the treaty had been occnsionol entirely by mi
accidental omission in H. and that It was not in tho

part of the Portuguese Government to ratify tho
iseety, or to any ndspos',ion to send It AT the ear

The mos, perfect silence then succeeded, and the
Speaker called upon Lord Ahhorp.
| Lord ALruonr then rose and addressed the
House in The following terms Sir, have 10 tres

statement which | feel II necessary TO my own
| character TO submit to H. Sir, | have requested
and have Obtained his Majosty's permission 10
communicate that statement to tho House. When
the dccison OF the Cabinet was first required to
whether the Coercion Act should DO renewed,
eoucurred IN tho necessity for lis renewal with the
omission only Of the clauses relating to Courts

nut of ireland to individual members of The Govern
meni brought the subject again under the conside-

his communication, and by 40 means to commit
himself As 1 have said, these comInun lcaiions
from the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, brought The
subject again before the Cabinet From tho naiurc
OF lhose communications was led to believe that
the three first clauses of tho oct--those, | mem,
which refer to meetings in tho ports Of Ireland no,
| proclaimed were no, essentially necessary, and
| that they mi ght he omitted from the new bill with
OUT en1sngering tho penco of Iceland. Under ihis
impression, objected TO The renewal Of these clnu
| sos NV right hon friends, the Members for In
verness for Cambridge, for Edinburgh and for Co
veniry, agreed with mo IN making this objection.
The Cabinet however, decided against US, and we
had 20 consider whether VIC would ncquiesce in
this decision, OF whether we would brenk up the
| Government. We decided that II was our duty 10
ncqnosce Upon The most careful consideration
which | have been enabled to give to This point
since, | am convinced, that, with tho imperfect
