The Imprisonment of Mr.. Gray.
In the Commons this afternoon the speaker
read letter from Judge Lawson announcing
the committal of Mr. Gray. Gladstone stated
that precedents in cases similar to that OF
Gray show that appointment of a committee is
the propar course. AT the present period Oh
the session it is too late to secure the appoint
ment of representative committee. He did
not moreover know OF any way IN which
committee could release Gray if they wished to
do SO. He therefore made a purely formal
motion that the letter of Judge Lawson be
placed on the table. A passing reference OF
Gladstone to an address to the crown for the
removal of Judge Lawson as one of the alter
native courses was received by loud cheers
from the Irish members Sexton attacked
Judge Lawson for preventing Gray from max
ing defence. The proposal of Gladstone is
simplyz means to defer the matter until
Gray's term has expired. Gray has telegraphed
the Speaker and Gladstone informing them OF
his committal and refusal OF Judge Lawson to
grant him an adjournment OF his case.
Sexton read telegram reciting the affidavits
sworn to to-day, declaring several of the jury
men who convicted Hynes were drunk, and re-
peating the accusations of jury packing Gray's
imprisonment, he said, was scandal and dis
grace to justice.
William johnson, Attorney General for Ire
land, stated the details of composition of the
jury with view to rebut the accusations He
declared nothing could be worse than Grays
conduct. The debate was continued until
suspension of the afternoon sitting, the Irish
members repeating Sexten's accusations.
