Tho Irish Land Bill Debate.
LONDON March s, 1870.
In the House OF Commons tonight the oebate on
the Irish Land bill was continued.
Mr.. MAGUIRE, member for Cork, attacked the
measure declaring that 1t fell short OF the exalted
expectations OF the Irish people. Leases should be
projected and made transferable. Politically the
Irish tenantry dangerous; personally they
models OF virtue. He advocated the repeal OF the
law Of dlstraint and concluded by expressing the
opinion that the bill, II properly amended, would
prove benefit to the country.
Mr.. G. W. HUNT, member for Northamptonshlrc,
rejorced at the good temper shown the discussion
and commented at length on the PROVISIONS OF the
bill, approving OF some and censurng Others He
thought the defects might be remedied In COM
mittee.
The AArToNEY GENERAL made an elaborate reply
to these objections.
TIE O'DoNOHUE thought the task undertagengwas
really the reorganization OF the social system OF
Ireland. There was one hopeful augury In the fact
that his voice. hitherto unheeded, was now heard.
Mr.. HENLEY, member for Oxfordshlre, discovered
sources of endless litigation in the BILL
Mr. BERRY IN speech full OF humor and force,
showed that the tenure system OF England favored
the tenants, while that Of Ireland favored the land
lords. This inequality needed redress an oppor-
tunity for which the bill Afforded. Celts and Pro-
testants fed TO America bearing rancorous hatred
toward England. From them came the possibility
OF war with America He then proceeded to defend
she bill In detail.
