GLADSTONE AND IRELAND.
Introduction in the House Of Commons
Of His Bill for the Repres-
sion Of Crime.
Justice to be Tempered With Mercy and
the Innocent Not Allowed
to Suffer.

LONDON, May 11.-In the house Of commons,
Harcourt, homo secretary, introduced bill for
the suppression Of crime in Ireland He char
scterized the prevalence Of crime there as q
national disgrace He said:
The time has arrived for the entire house to unite
in taking steps to repress It The case We deplore
to-day Is not solitary one Crime is a plague-spot-
on ireland. and believe the Irish people desire its
removal. It springs from secret societies, aud
must be extirpated. The handspring Of crime Is
the expectation of immunity. which is only too
well-fouuded. The government has, therefore,
concluded IL is necessary, In those places where
ordinary law Is not observed, that special court.
consisting Ct three Judges be appointed by the lord
lieutenant. TO try cases without jury. The judg-
ment OF the court must be unanimous. Appeal can
be made to the supreme court The Judgment of
the latter will be given by majority of the judges.
The supreme court may diminish, but cannot in
crease the severity Of sentences Parliament will
be asked to provide special remuneration for spe-
cia judges. The bill also contains the following
provision: It gives power TO search for
the secret apparatus Of murder such as
arms. threatening letters, ETC.: power to
enter houses by day or night, under the
warrant of the lord-lieutenant: power to arrest
persons prawling about at night and unable to give
summarIy; power to arrest strangers for crimes
committed by foreign emmissaries, the hospitality
OF England not being for such persons as
AGENTS OF o'DoSovAN RossA;
and power to remove persons whose presence is
dangerous to the peace Of the government and
therefore intended to revive the alien act. Secret
societies will be dealt with summarily and the mem
bership thereof constitute oense under the act.
Cases OF aggravated assault will be
atnd in a anrnnary manner Power Is pivnD IN
repress intimidation and unlawful meetings. News
papers containing seditious, infammatory matter,
will be suppressed aud the propretors required to
enter into recognZances not 10 repeat the ofense.
Justices compethe attendance of witnesses about
to abscond. The lord lieutenant can appoint ad-
dtional police where necessary at the cost Of the
districts concerned. Compensation for murder
and outrage will be required of the districts
where they occur. Outrage will be dealt with
summarily by the courts, which are to consist of
two stipendiary magistrates Tho government re-
serves for consideration any further alteration OF
the jury system.
The home secretary admitted that the bill
was extraordinary, but necessary to meet ex-
trsordinsry circumstances. The operation OF
the bill should be limited to three years. The
government would do all IN their, power
to prevent innocent persons suffering from the
action OF the bill. He added that the bill
placed almost unlimited authority in the hands
OF the lord lieutenant, and concluded by saying
that the measure would shortly be followed by
one dealing with arrears or rent.
Harcourt stated the government had con-
sidered the question of institating a military
tribunal but had come 70 the conclusion that
a resort to such measures was undesirable.
The lord lieutenant is to have power to pro-
claim the district to which this act may be
| applied.
THE MEASURE DISCUSSED.
Sir Stafford Northcote said the opposition de-
sired to give the government all the assistance
in their power, but held them responsible for
the way in which they discharge their duty.
W. E Forster said in his belief force was
no remedy, but it was often necessary,
and was never more necessary than now.
John Bright said the bill was not aimed at
political opponents, but against crime. He de-
elared that if he were an Irlshman he should
rather welcome o measure which would enable
the people to pursue their daily duties in con-
fdence that protection would be afforded by
law.
Parnell said he wished to join in the ex-
preston as to the temperate spirit shown by
England the past few days, but he
declared that that spirit was
not displayed in the proposed bill,
| which he regarded as the most stringent
ever proposed, and which he said would result
in huudredfold greater failure than what had
gone before =.
John Dillon characterized Forster's speech
| as bloodthirsty, but withdrew the words on de-
mand Of the speaker. He afterwards fiercely
denounced the bill.
Harcourt, before the bill was introduced,
declared that the government had no intention
| Of advising the queen to grant full pardon to
| Michael Davitt
| Saturday was the first that had tested Ireland
| He warned the government that it might
be renewed He had not denounced
| the outrage No one could effectually de-
| pounce crime in Ireland until he was able to
| go among the people and say Justice had been
| Tba, ha
would bring disaster and destroy al faith in
ultimate justice. To carry out the present
policy would be merely to play into
| the hands Of assassins. The only way to deal
! with Ireland was to accept the aid OF himself
! and friends as the government refused they
| could only stand aside and watch the result of
| the conflict between two nations, and England
| with repression, the other Ireland with retail
| stiou.
| Mr.. Goschen made vigorous denial in which
he repudiated the notion that the kingdom was
| to look to members stepped IN treason Tor pro-
| lection Of life and property in Ireland.
The phrase members stepped in treason"
| being challenged, Mr.. Goschen substituted
therefor members who have signed the no.
rent manifesto"
presslon bill to its first reading The mi
nority was composed entirely Of home rulers.
| The feeling in the lobby of the house is that
a repression bill fairly meets the grave issue
| raised by the crime Of Saturday, but 1t is
thought that certain strinSency OF provision
| will aleniate the Irish vote meeting of
the Irish party will be held to-day to consider
| the subject
This bin for the preservation Of peace in
Ireland was introduced amid profound silence
in the presence Of great crowd on the floor
and in the galleries. The measure !.
that could have possibly been suggested.
Mr. Healy says the Irish party has powder 70,
q second debate, and will then attack the
measure bitterly. He regards the suspension
struck Of Ireland This view In shared By Ill
land league members.
