Proposed Repression of Crime I'm Ireland
LONDON, May 11.-In the Commons, .Har- !
court, Home Secretary, introduced bin for
the repression of crime in Ireland He
characterized the prevalence of crime there
as National disgrace. He said the time
has arrived for the entire House TO unite in ~
taking steps to repress it. The case we de-
plore to-day is nor solitary one. The crime
is plague spot on Ireland, and l believe
the Irish people desire its removal. II
springs from secret Socieries and must be
extripated. The handspring of the crime
is the expectation of impunity which is
only too-well founded. The Government
has therefore concluded ii is necessary in
those places where ordinary law is not OBJ
served, special taibunals, consisting of three
Judges, be appointed by the Lord Lieuten-
ant to try cases without Jury. The judg-
ment of the latter will be given by ma
jority of the Judges. The Supreme Court
may diminish but can not increase the Sc
verify of sentences Parliament will be
asked to provide special remuneration for
the Special Judges

vision: II gives power to search for secret
apparatus of murder, such as arms, threat
ening letters, etc.. power to enter houses by
day Or night, under the warrant of the Lord
Lieutenant; power to arrest persons prowl-
ing about at night and unable TO give some
account of themselves who are to be dealt
with summarily; power to arrest strangers,
as crimes are generally committed by
foreign emmissaries, the hospitality of
England not being for such persons as
agents of O'Donovan Rosa, and power
to remove foreigners considered dangerous
to peace. The Government, therefore, intends
10 revive the alien act The secret Societies
will be dealt with summarily, and member
ship thereof constitute offence under this
act Cases of aggravated assault will be
treated in a summary manner. Power is
given to repress intimidation and unlawful
meetings. Newspapers containing seditious
and infiammatory matter will be suppressed
and the proprietors required to enter into
recognizances not to repeat the offense.
Justices can compel the attendance of wit
nesses about to abscond. The Lord Lieuten-
ant can appoint additional police where
necessary at the cost of the districts con-
cerned.
Compensation for murder and outrage will
be required of the districts where they oc-
cur. Outrages will be dealt with summariIy
by the Courts. which are tt consist of two
stipendiary Magistrates. The Government
reserves for consideration any other altera-
ton of the Jury system.
The Home Secretary admitted the bill was
extraordinary, but necessary to meet the ex-
traordipary circumstance. The operation of
the bill will 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 con-
cluded by stating the measure would short
ly be followed by one dealing with arrears
of rent s4
