THE FAIR RENT QUESTION.
In the House of Commons last night on the con-
sideraton of clause seven of the Land bill cmpow-
cring the Court to fix far rents. Lord Edmund
titzinaurice QLibcraD moved an amendment con-
ferring the benefit of the clause to tenancos valued
under ElOO 1851. In support of this proposal
which, he sad, would only exclude 10000 tenants
he urged the eXpcdency Of not making this excep-
tional legislation broader than is necessary, and
| quoted the authority Of Lord Carngford who was
| twice Chief Secretary for Ireland, and of Baron
| Dowse, Baron of the Court of Exchequcr in Ire
land, for the proposition that these large tenants
are quite ablo to take care of themselves. Mr. Glad
| stone theoretically opposed the amendment, and
| pointed out that no such recommendation had been
made by either OF the Commissions, and declared
| the Government would be no party TO drawing a
| distinction which directly opposed to the lines
| upon which the bill was drawn.
| The amendment was ncgatived by a vote of 241
| TO 2O5. The narrownoss of the majority was greeted
with loud cheers. Several prominent Liberals
| voted in the minority including the Right Hon. G.
| Thomas Evans, the Hon. NJ. Htz William, the
| Right Hon. Henry Brand Mr. Davies and Mr.. Fred
| cr1ch MiIbank The majority was the lowest, with
one exception, which the Government has secured
| throughout the discussion of the bill. Many of the
| lIish Liberal members. were absent from tho
| division. The Times, in n leader upon the above
vote, says that 1t will doubtless encourage the
House of Lords to insist upon fixing limit to tho
operation of provisions intended to protect weak
and defencecss tenants only.
In the House of Commons this afternoon Mr.. Par
nells amendment to the report on the Land bill
relative to absentees rejected by vote of 1lo
| to 32.

views utterly discard the notion that the internal

reprobate any resort any resort TO such abominabe

During the recess of Parliament convention of
delegates from each branch of the Land League in
Great Britain will be held III London, Mr.. Justin
Mccarthy presiding for the purpose of determining
upon the future policy OF the League in the event OF
