! -.,s,- ABANDONED HIS ESTATES.
| LONDON, Jan. 14-The Times says:
We understand Mitchell Henry, home
rule. member of parliament for Galway
county, who has spent fortune in re-
claiming and beautifying his estates in
Ireland, and who has been notoriously
generous to his tenantry, has been
obliged to quit Ireland in consequence of
refusing to have anything to do with the
land league, and in consequence of his
speech in the house of commons on the
| 18th inst, during the debate on the adj
dress, in which he denounced the system
| of Boycotting and repudiated the league.
Michael Davitt, in violent attack on
him at the last meeting of the league, de-
nounced him as traitor.
NEW PARLIAMENTARY PARTY.
LONDON, Jan. Alt is authoritatively
announced the new parliament party
formed under VIM. Shaw with view to
Independent action will only oppose the
coercion bill, within the strict forms of
the house, and if they consider the Irish
land bill just and equitable they will not
only approve. it in the house, but will
endeavor to obtain it's acceptance in Ire
land. 1t is understood the duke of Rich.
mond, conservative commissioner on ag-
ricultural depression, in the part of their
report dealing with Ireland, recommends
a scheme Of emigration; also one of mi
grafton from the over-peopled districts,

regarding their transfer to the tenants

They are willing to make the necessary
arrangements. About 10000 acres of
land belonging to these counties will
probably be thus transferred.
THE TRAvERsERs' DEFENSE.
DUBLIN, Jan. 14.-McDonough, contin-
uing his argument for the traversers,
said he submitted with confidence to the
jury that the land league was perfectly
legal organization, to cause by agitation
certain alterations in the land laws with

but all England was now ringing. He
set before the jury the example Of the
jury who acquitted seven bishops, and
drew moving picture of the evictions
which followed the Irish famine
Samuel Walker followed with power

the land league and contended that it was
legal. He read extracts of parliamentary
speeches of Gladstone, Law and Bright,
in support of the compensation foi dis
turbance bill. He insisted that the trav-
ersers had said nothing more calculated

THE VOTE.
LONDON, Jan. 14.-In the division on Par
nell's amendment, eight English members
voted with the minority, viz: Arnold, Jacob
Bright Cowen, Thomson, Bradlough, Burt,
Laubouchre, and Ceilings.
The News says considerable number OF
liberals abstained from voting on Parnell's
motion. While concluding that they could
not vote with the government until the nature
of the land bill was known they felt equally
unable to vote against coercion.

with the majority arc Rev. DR.. Kinnear, Mr..
Whitworth, Sir John Ennis, Sir Richard
Wallace, Right Hon. Gibson Plunket and Tay-
lor, Mr. Tottenham, Viscouut Crichton, Sir
Thomas Mcclure and Lewis and hMulholland.
The most ultra liberals abstained from voting.
Shaw and Mitchell Henry voted with the
minority. Henry writes the Times denying
that he was obliged to quit Ireland owing to
threats.

mons tonight debate on the address was re-
sumed Sexton and O'Sunivan, home rulers,
defended the actions of the land league and at
tackled the government. Vivyon, liberal, said
the feelings of the Irish were shown by the
fact that many had waded through the blood
of Lord Mountmorris. Parnell said, "That Is
a falsehood" The speaker intervened and de-
clared that if Parnell applied the expression to
any member OF the house he must withdraw
it, but as Parnell neither withdrew nor repeat
ed the expression Vivyon said he would leave
the house to judge between him and Parnell.
Childcrs, secretary of state for war, strongly
urged the necessity of energetic measures in
Ireland, and said the government could mott toll
crate revolution and allow ireland to be swayed
by self asserted authority. Parnell's amend
ment to the address was rejected by vote OF
435 to ST. The debate was adjourned about 6
