Provisions Enforced Which Have
Been ignored In England.
Queen Victoria LustiIy Cheered by

Emperor FrederIck's Fever Increases
and Again Causes Alarm.

LONDON, April A.-In the Commons to-
day Justin Mccarthy moved that the House
gdjourn on urgency to call attention to the
departure from the usual practice in Irish
county courts by increasing sentences on
appeal Mr.. Mccarthy argued that the
whole practice was opposed to all previous
experiences. II it was desired that in the
future appeals be regarded as game of
double or quits" let the House and people
say so. He asked the House to signify its
objection to this new principle of appeal
which closed the gates Of mercy, and opened
the gates of wanton and despotic action. !,
Mr.. Holmes said the particular appeal
granted under the petty sessions act was
embodied in the act of 1887. and was not an
appeal, but was really rehearsing OF the
case. 1t was the duty OF the judge, regard
less of the decision of the court below, to
pronounce judgment that ne considered
the evidence warranted.
Mr.. Shaw-Lefevre said that not single
case of increase in sentence had occurred In
England He did not denythe court pos
sessed the power but the power had never
been exercised in appeals given In the inter
est of the prisoner and not of the Crown
Sir William Vernon Harcourt said there
were unused powers within the law, rusty
weapons of brutal tyranny. The employ
ment of such brutal and fer0cious powers,
whether within the law or not, against the
people was unconstitutional.
Mr.. Balfour denied that the appeal judges
powers were rusty and antiquated. They
were legal by the statute and not IL eleven
years old In England. He accused Sir VIII
liam Vernon Harcourt of attempting to act
as a court Of appeal from the. judges decls-
ions without knowledge Of the facts. He
asked the House to reject the motion
Mr.. Gladstone said that when no instance
of increase of sentence could be produced in
England, was Parliament prepared. while
boasting of equality, to introduce this who'll
ly new feature into ireland. The fact that
appeal was granted showed it was intended
to be exercised in favor Of the accused and
not against him. He taunted Mr.. Balfour
with breach of faith in granting the right Of
appeal and then practically putting veto
ON its use.
Mr.. Balfour appealed to the speaker to
declare Mr.. Gladstone out of order. The
speaker ruled in Mr.. Gladstone's favor, Civ
ing signal for loud and long continued
Irish cheers.
