,n LONDON, April g. 1879.
!, In the House Of Commons tonight Mr.. Munster.
member for Mafiow. rising to question Of priv
ilege. had read BY the, Clerk an extract tom tho
FaN Mau Gazeess, rejecting on the conduct Of the
Irish members in regard to the Dublin University
bin.
Mr.. Munster particularly complained ofthe words,
ssThe bill cut the ground from under their Fenian
aeitationRand their tra0ic In noisy disloyalty."
After long speech he moved that the article
ssllbeuousy reflected on the conduct OF certain
members, and was breach OF the privileges Of
the Houao.w yTg3s13a1 taf5Si88E 5hs II
Mr.. Dlsrael said the article referred to certain
ultranontane members. There was no specific
alusion. He thought before tho House interfered
with the liberty OF the press 1t had better ascertain
who the ultramontane members were. Cheers
and laughtertn rrk FFEEW yv9tR8W tM.
n Mr.. Mitchell Henry, member for Galway, thought
the epithet "ultrauontane'' was clearly used - .
term Of reproach. He appealed to the House to be
as careful Of the honor and character or its irish
members as Of others. cor DO nniEIeS
" Mr.. Mccarthy Downing member for the county
Cork, declared that when defending the principles
OF his faith he was not ashamed to avow that he
was ultramontane. He Indignantly repudiated the
charge OF disloyalty. Had the abuse been directed
at the scotch ana English members as well - the
irish. there would have been no dtfacultY: He ex-
pressed ast6nis6msnt that Che leader Of the oppo-
sition should attempt to prevent discussion.
Sir John Duke Coleridge opposed the motion and
regretted the debate. but thought the subject
could not be disposed u BY joke. he cited prece
dents, and showed that members must be attacked
as members, Il the charge Of libel was to hold; an
attack on the House at large was not sufclent to
constitute breach Of privilege. IA rar !.
y. Aaar Ella member for Kllkenny county,
white he was not an nltranontane, could not bus
condemn the newspaper article al improper ana
cdisgracefuL He was surprised at Mr.. Dtsraets
course, and said he should vote in favor Of the mo
tion aaa sl-3ssIn oily Is nmfasm g99N 9ai
Mr. Bernal Osborne confessed he was ignorant
Of the meaning Of the word 'ultramontane.n He
had heard Mr.. Gladstone called "ultramontane."
The members from Ireland, honest ana conscten-
tlous had been grossly insulted; but ne hoped the
miserable publisher would not be dragged before
the bar. 1t would be better to treat him with con-
tempt 1aE 2 lsiAp sa's 1921 22A4tA VIZ ~ ~
Z Mr. Ronayne member FOR the city or Cork, said
he supposed he was one Or the members 10 whom
disloyalty was imputed but he rejoiced at
the appearances or such articles as tho
one IN question. The tone u the English
press was doing more to promote home
Ruler than centuries Of anguish and oppression.
Mr. iDisraeli's joke would have the Sgme eject
In Ireland which his speech had years ago when ~
made reply TO his constituents who had given three
chsers for the famine In Ireland. (Crles Of "Ohg
Onin and cheers s. A
Mr.. Munster said he couls, easily dispose OF Mr.
Disraeli's joke. Daniel O'Connell was ohce SUM
moned to the bar or the House because he pub
ncly declared the tories had perjured themselves.
He ought to have asked whether there were any
tories there. +
4 Mr. Gladstone remarked that he appeared to b
tho here OF the first paragraph OF the article He
thought the attack was not breach Of
privilege. although It was unjustinable and
without foundation. He appealed TO the
member from Mallow to Withdraw his
motion, because II 1t was defeated the mover
would be placed In an unenvtable position. He
sympathixed with the gentleman, but the con-
seriousness that he had done his duty should Hes-
tralize detractfon.
The motion was Withdrawn.
