The Irish National League in London
passed resolution expressing surprise
and pleasure at the tenor Of the speech
of Chief Justice Coleridge, at his recep-
tion by the New York Bar Association.
The resolution expresses the hope that
the principles enunciated in that ad-
dress will be applied by the British
Government to Ireland; also that the
American tour of Coleridge will serve
to enlarge his views, and enable him to
advocate self government for Ireland.
