Of Parnel'a bill.
Thomas Dickson Liberalj supported the
measure, because it embodied the programme
| adopted by the conference Of Ulster tenants.
Gladstone said the Lend Act was far more
| efficient than Psrnell had described. He said
the Parnell bill amounted virtually TO a re-
modelling of the Land Act. He strongly de-
nouDced ParnelPs statement that the Courts
| imposed the rack rents. He insisted that
| the tenants were willing to pay the rents fixed
by the Court, and hoped that Parnell would
give assurance that the new crusade would be
conducted in strictly legal manner. Il
would be in violation of the duty of the Gov
eminent to demand further sacrifices from
the landlords.
Gladstones remarks were repeatedly
cheered by the Tory members.
