falls into two grave errors. The original
"fair rents," but the abolition of landlord
ism. There is no comparison be-
tween the present situation and that
when Davitt and the first Of the
suspects" were arrested. The government

appealed to brute force, and sup
pressed all forms of constitutional ex-
preston. He asks whether Archbishop
