 ! Lord Chief Justice Monck convened 8 meeting of magistrates in Dublin to day to ! take suitable action in regard to the murder ! of Lord Cavendisla and Under Secretary ! Burke. Justice Austin offered resolution declaring that the government was responsi- ! ble for crime in Ireland and moved that it be ! adopted as the sense of the meeting. The l chairman disaHowed the motion, stating that | it was out of order for a paid servant of the ! govern ment to offer motion condemning it ! at meeting of it's officials, especially when I that meeting was not called to criticise its l acts. Resolutions were then passed offering l condolence to the families of the victims and l expressing abhorrence of the crime.
 Beyond the arrests mentioned in the last | dispatches the police have as yet obtained no ! clue to the assassins. ! It is stated that as Michael Morris Lord l Chief Justice of the Court of Common Pleas, l and Charles Robert Barry, Fourth Justice of ! the Court of Queens Bench, were walking in | Phoenix Park on Saturday, a few minutes ! Liter the murders were committed and before ! they knew of them, a rough looking man said ! to the Lord Chief Justice 'tThe Chief and Under Secretary have been murdered.

 In the House of Commons this evening Sir ! William Harcourt Secretary of State for the ! home department in the absence of MT. ] Gladstone stated that the new repression < proposals of the government contained the | following provisions in all of which the Lord Lieutenant may act The judges of the Su- ! preme Court to apI oint thirty of their mum ! Der to whom are to be referred the crimes of ' treason, murder, attempts to kill, crimes of aggravated violence and attacks on dwelling ! houses, the court to sit without a jury, the other judges of the Supreme Court to be 8 ! court of appeal with power of dimlnution, but not of an increase of sentence. The other provisions were meant to defeat the plots of ! secret societies and their agents. These pro ! visions were only to be put Tn force in the 1 proclaimed districts and were first, power of \ search; second, power to arrest persons
 found prowling about at night and unable to give an account of themselves; third, power
 to arrest strangers whenever deemed advls- ! able by agents of the government. lCheers
 followed the announcement of this clause Continuing the speaker said: It was
 well known that these murderous attempts 1 were not made by residents. It was
 necessary that there should be granted power
 of removal of foreigners considered danger
 ous to the safety of society. Therefore in
 Ireland they proposed to revise the alien act ! As to secret societies. it was proposed that
 membership and partisanship should be an ! offense under the act and should be summa- ! rily dealt with. It was also intended to deal l summarily with offenses such as rlot aggra- { vated assaults and the like. In cases of
 unlawful meetings power is given the Vice roy to act as he might see right. Newspapers
 publishing calls for such meetings and abet- ! ting unlawful acts editorially or otherwise
 will be forfeited and power is given to
 cause publishers to enter into recognlzances
 not to republish such papers. The Vlceroy
 is empowered to appoint additional police IT
 any particular district, the expenses entailed
 by such additional police to be paid by the 1 residents of the locality to which they are appointed. Cheers followed this announce. ! ment.) Compensation for murders ano
 maimings is to be levied on the inhabitants
 of the districts where such murders ano 1 maimings occurred. The measure, the
 speaker said, was no doubt extraordinary
 but 1t dealt with extraordinary circum
 stances. Cheers followed the conclu
 sion of the speakers explanation of the act ! olC OGauOru NOTtncOLS huu ObhoI SoAAoOA '1
 tive speakers gave general assent to the act
 reserving their criticism of various clauses
 Mr. .Healy said that the severity of the ac l was for the purpose of keeping the Liberals in office and that it would tend to increase se cret societies rather than to diminish them Dillon denounced the act as bloodthlrsty measure The Dublin murders were of al
 isolated character and were not akin to agra
 rian outrages. He knew something of lrlst : crime (derisive cheers) and knew the 1risl
 peasantry, who would not acknowledge thei
 sympathy with crimes. He had refused tt
 denounce the outrages because he wished tt
 be honest and the Irish people would not be lieve he meant what he said had he done so
 Mir Sullivan said the measure would not strik
 at the root of the evil or arrest the hand o
 the assassin, but only exasperate innocen
 people O'Donnell thought the act was
 I calculated to extend dissatisfaction through out Ireland. Mir Bright said he supportet
 the act as regretfal necessity. Mir. Forste
 stated that he approved of the act, thougl = the measure was more than he contemplate'
 before h1s resignation Joseph Cowan en y treated the House to rather depend tn
 force of sentiment in Ireland than to rous
 l more resentment. Parnell said he would no = attampt to foretell the full effects of the act
