Gladstone that he could review the governments
policy generally after the specific amendment
had been disposed Of
Mr. Gladstone appealed for indulgence, and
asked the House not to insist upon a strict en-

the debate to be unduly prolonged.
Mr. Gladstone, resuming his speech, described
the policy of the government as an absolute
inversion OF the policy of the late gov
eminent. Instead of giving Ireland self
government the present government
proposed that England should govern Ireland to
a greater extent than it did at the present time.

MIR. Gladstone denied Lord Hartingtons asser-
tion that the late government scheme would
