PARNELL's SPEECH.
LONDON, February 26.-In the
commons Parnell moved his amend
mcnt to the address in reply to the
speech from the throne, attacking the
executive In Ireland for his admins.
tration of the crimes act. The
language of the amendment rs very
violent. 1t refers to the unjust ex.
ecutionu." In moving the amend
ment Parnell said If there had been
any reduction In the number of out
RACES In Ireland 1t is only because the
people were being kept down by brutal,
terrible coercion. The act was ad-
ministered In q terrible, brutal way.
He pointed to the fact that hardly
any persons arrested under the cur
few clause had been convicted. He
complained of the conduct Of the Irish
judges, mostly appointed for political
reasons, therefore unfit to try
political cases. When the people
saw juries packed, and judges turned,
crown prosecutors all, sympathy with
law and order was destroyed. The
people inevitably became abettors of
crime. If the governments after the
Phoenix park murders had relied on
the sympathy Of the people instead of
q tyrannicsl act, Ireland would have
been pacified. He protested against
the proclamation Of meeting and pros.
ecution of the press. The freedom of
speech did not exist In Ireland. In
the Hynes and other murder cases
the juries were composed almost ex.
clusively of professionals, castle trades.

tenant. The administration of Law
was detested by everybody. he de-
fed the government to continue to
govern Ireland without the sympathy
Of the people. The amendment Of
the land act was urged, though ever
that would not quench the spirit Of
Irish nationalism. He believed Cham

question. [Ironical cheers. ;rhe gov

justified his atrocious charges sgains
the government. The charge of JURY
packing was repudiated.
He explained why more Protestantl
than Catholics were upon juries was be
cause Protestants constituted a major
ity Of the whole panel. Earl Spencer
would no more think of interfering
with trials in Ireland than he would
In English courts. Parnell's amend
