atrocities, declared it vas necessary Temporal
rily to suspend the form of liberty in order to
re-establish its substance.

arguments. He declared the existing laws of
Ireland were barborous.
The authorities sent a detective Yesterday
to Bradlaugh to inform him that they were in
possession of sworn information that there was
plot to assassinate him. The person who gave
the information stated that he had overheard a
party OF foreigners arranging to kill Brad
laugh on his way home from the House of
Commons.
