LONDON. July 6.-The correspondent
of the Manchester Guardian Gays It is
believed that the government has re-
ceived information which renders them
DESTROYS Of compensation for ,the dis.
turbance in Ireland, and that the bill
should become q law. They know
that In the distressed districts the evic.
tons cannot be enforced during the
coming autumn and winter without
producing the terrible events
and that In the absence OF
such law the governments respon
sbility will be much greater than
they have thought proper to state e.
the House of Commons. The Times
in a leading editorial this morning,
severely condemns the compensation
of disturbance in the ireland bill and
ssys, IL it becomes Law, landlords will
remain unpaid, except in few instances,
where they are wealthy and determined
enough to bring their tenants before
the county court and brave the risk Of
having unjust damages awarded
against them.
