capital value Of R4,OOO. Mr.. Gladstone
said he proposed that tho 101 Irish members
in the house OF commons should be mem
bers Of the Irish parliament, and whilst
the first order Of the legislative body would
consist OF iOs members. the second order
retain the viceroy, but hs would not b the
representative Of party, Or quit once
with IN outgoing government. The queen
would be empowered to delegate to him
any prerogatives she now enjoy yed Or would
oy iaox which ins rsoss %sees Ro@. csssoe
Ineligible to the ofice would be ~
moved. With regard to the judges
who had been concerned In tho ad-
ministration Of tho criminal law In
Ireland, her majesty might II she saw
pensions Of these particular judges. IN
future the judges would b appointed By
the Irish government, be paid ont Of the
consolidated fund and be removable only
by the joint addl ess Of tho two orders. Tho
constarulary would remain under their
present, term Of service and under their
constabulary was now 91,50.0OO per
annuIn, and the speaker felt confident the
charge would be reduced, but, for the
present, he proposed TO relieve the Irish
legislative body Of al expenditure for the
r6s e la
exempt the peace OF Ireland in reference to
its final position from the ultimate control OF
the Irish legislative body. The speaker had
no jealousy upon that subject, q tho care
of providing tor the ordinary security Of
life and property was the first duty Of .
local government. With respect 70 the
civil service, the government did not think
their case was the same ~ the constable
larry, aud the transfer of the civil service
to the legislative body would effect great
economy. He therefore thought Il would
be wise to authorize the civil servants now
serving, to claim the pensions that would
be due to them upon the abolition OF their
offices, provided they served two years, in
order to prevent inconvenience from rap
id transition of the service, and at the
close Of that time both parties should b
free to negotiate afresh. That was al, Nr.
Gladstone stated, that he had to say on tho
subject Of the new Irish constitution.
