LONDON, September 20. : In the
H ,uso Of Commons Parnell. in moving
to sccond reading Of his Lend B II
said. The recent elections conveyed a
mandate to the H ,use of Commons that
it should show self willing aud able to
provide for the vans Of Ireland 60 nally
as II It were an Irish Parliament.
Cheers, Parpell explained the provi-
sions OF the bills fret clause. II en-
acted, that any statutory tenant whose
rent was fx,d prior to the last day of
the year 1884 might apply for an abae
meut in accordance with the provisions
Of the bill. The depr ssion commenced
in 1885 and has continued unabated ever
since. There are no sigis for tht
future. Times are growing worse, but
only ask the house to take action with
regard to rents falling due next Nvvem.
Der, aud that II be IN the next session
Of Parliament. Until the II use is ab e
to AXE action on the report Uf the royal
comm, ssion. : we will abstain entirely
from prtjudicing the government pr
posals. But We do know that since the
bulk Of judicial renIs has been fixed
there has been q great depression In
prices. Our opponents, will probably
urge that IT will be exceedingly difh ,ult
Tor the land court to ascertain whe her
the tenants are really uaable to pay
rents, hut there was q similar diff hcuity
to overcome 10 c1nnection with the Ar
rears act Of 1882. The court satisfied
itself within five mon his OF the inabil
iiy I 10000 tenats to psy their rates
[Cheers.] A similar quickness and ex
pedi,io., will follow my II. and the
ork will probably be q i-hsd in three
months. / propose further that the
tenants shall deposit half tue amount OF
this rent, leaving the court to deter
mine how much Of the. remaining hall
tenants shall pay and how much the
landlords shall lose Under the Ar
rears act the tenant deposited only one
third OF bis rental, the landlord losing
one-third, and the state advancing the
remaining third The only practical
differen Q is that the state shall not be
loser. I, regard to suspension evic
tious, my bill again closely follows the
lines OF the Arrears act, which act works
justly and ga isfactorily for all parties.
The costs Of evIctinns frequently exceed
the amount OF rent due.

bil, should sluy evictiops 10 Kerry, i

rssentially moderate, and calculated to
pull matters through the winter. Par
nell concluded by earnestly entreatipa

the bill, which he said would nefit
