GosCHEN DENIES A PLEDGE.


Mr.. Goschen, chancellor of the exchequer,
denied that the government were pledged
not to introdu"e controversial measures
during the winter session. Mr.. Gladstone's
statement that il the government had
asked just sufficient to keep the act in
operation until next session, it
would have been granted was
incorrect steps were taken to ascertain
whether such proposal would be accept
able, and the response did not encourage
the attempt Hear. bear.l The immediate
extension of the Ashbourne act was neces-
sity. 1t was desired by the tenants, ard
he hoped the house and country
would perceive that they were
dealing with land purchase, which was not
Incompatible with dealing with arrears.
The government was prepared to deal with
arrears N due course of time Hear, hear
The suggestion that they were practically
assisting the landlords in conspiracy to
allow arrears to continue and to encourage
ev1ctions was so absurd, that 1t was scarcely
worth answering. LCheers.l
WOULD MAKE THE RICH RICHER.
Mr.. O'Brien maintained that the bill
would make rich tenants richer, but leave
the poor colliers in the west in as bad a posi-
tion as ever. 1t was merely plan to shovel
English gold into the pockets of Irish land
lords.
Mr.. Campbell -Bannerman, liberal, Sc
verely censured the manner in which the
government was thrusting the. bill upon
the house. Before proposing extension
there ought to have been a select committee
to inquire into the working OF the Ash
bourne act.
The sentence of one months imprison
ment imposed on j. d. Sheehan, NJ. P,
from East Kerry, for refusing TO give bail
for good behavior, has been confirmed on
appeal.
CHURCH PROPERTIES.
The report presented to parliament by the
Irish land commission stat8s thac Irish
church property has deprecated considera-
bly,, owing to the difficulty experienced in
collecting rents and to the social condition
of the country. The commission urges that
the time has arrived for definite settle
ment of the question of liabilities with re-
spect to church property.
