LONDON, January 17th.-ln the House of
Commons this evening Gladstone, replying
to question, said the attention of the Gov
eminent had been called to the frequent in
terruptions of the proceedings of the House
by motions for adjournment which began to
be resorted TO January 9TH, but they would
have to take larger and wider views on the
question. and must withhold further particu-
lars until their views were matured.
Justin Mccarthy moved AN amendment
agreed upon by the Home Rulers, and of
which he gave notice on the 9th, praying the
Queen to refrain from employing the navy,
military and police in enforcing ejectments
when the rent exceeds the law valuation,
pending consideration by Parliament of the
land bill. He said the disorder in Ireland
was mainly due to evictions.
Dillon seconded the amendment.
Gladstone protested against prolongation
of the debate. Ii the practice of concluding
the debate on the address as rapidly as possible
was broken down, that convenient and dieni.
fed method Of meeting between the sovereign
and her people would become g public
nuisance. If the Irish members had taken a
reasonable latitude Of debate, they would
have known by this time what the measures
of coercion were. The Irish members had
kept the House eight days occupied with re-
sultless debates. He declared that McCar.
thy's amendment was az insult to the throne.
This was received with cheers on both sides
of the House.

as a witness an evicted tenant aged SO years,
whose feebleness caused sensation. The

witness. but the Court decided that it was
admissible. A short adjournment was then
granted on application of the Attorney
General to enable him TO consult his col
leagues.

bling of the Court, Attorney-General Law
announced that he would abandon the nine

dence for the defense. Mclaughlin, who is
specially retained on behalf of Brennan,
made telling speech. He said the prosecu-
ton was undertaken in behalf of the land
lords, who were the hereditary enemies of
peaceful rule in Ireland. While Parnell and
Dillon were begging relief in America the
landlords even denied the existence of dis
