IRISH CRIMES ACT.
Morley Accuses Balfour and Charges
PerversioR of Law-He Moves to Gen.
sure the Governments Administration
OF the Act
LONDON. June %

LONDON, June %.
In the Commons this evening, John Nor
ley moved to censure the government for its
administration of the Irish crimes act as
calculated to undermine the law, estrange
the people of Ireland and prove injurious to
the interests of the empire. He accused
Balfour of refusing to give information as TO
how the coercion act operated in cases of
grave inaccuracy in statements regarding
prosecutions and of injustice towards prison
ers both before trial and after conviction,
and of baking their appeals aud allowing
them TO be maltreated under prison rules.
The crying instance of the perversion of the
law, he said, was the conviction of Dillon.
The government contended that the crimes
had been convicted of no offence against the
ordinary law, but simply of an imaginary Of
fence created under the crimes act. He in
stanced the number of other convictions as a
burlesque of justice. He said the proceed
ings of the courts resembled incidents in
comic opera Cheers.
Goschen, chancellor of the exchequer
replied that it was the intro luction of an
archia ideas regarding obedience to law and
the new immoral Interpretation of dutiful
citizens that made Ireland what it was. The
government was conscious of the just ad-
ministration of the crimes act and the ap-
proval of the law abiding. The people were
ready to meet the motion with every respect
Shaw Lefevre warmly defended Dillon.
After speeches by Major Saunderson and
others, the debate was adjourned. Itis ex-
pected that division on the motion will be
taken Monday.

VICTORY.
The Augustus Dotn the Globe Boys.
A Most Auspicious Opening Of the Bass
Ball Season in this City.

1.-The best conducted and prettiest game
ever seen in this city" was the
general verdict of the large
and orderly audience that assembled at the
Augusta Driving Park yesterday afternoon to
to witness the opening game of the season
between the Augustus and the Boston Globes.
The morning looked decidedly dubious
and the faces of the cranks looked long.
By noon, however, the sun peeped through
the overhanging clouds and the afternoon
was all that could be desired. The crowd
began to pour in at an early hour through the
gates, and il comprised large number of the
| very best people in the city.
The Globe boys looked finely in their nea:
uniforms and certainly did credit to their
genial manager Mr.. J. N. Taylor sporting
editor of the Globe. All the boys play
stiff game of ball and their battery is certain
| ly dandy.
Mr.. Taylor expressed the opinion that
when it was finally put in shape and harden
Ell down, Augusta would have the
| finest in-felds in the State.
Mr.. Mullen of South Boston umpired 4
good game of ball. He was prompt and firm
in making his decisions and showed very good
Judgment on balls and strikes. We trus,
