LONDON. Nov. 23.-In the house of
commons this evening Mr.. Sexton
asked whether it WAS true that seven
Irish members were about to be prose-
culed, and, if so, whether there was
any relation between the prosecution
and the delay in the debate on the Irish
estimates. If there was not, he asked
if Mr.. Smith, the government leader,
would give assurance that memDerS
would not be withdrawn. from tleir
parliamentary duties until the eStlmateS
were settled. Mr.. Smith denied having
any knowledge of the prosecution. lie
certainly desired members to remain
until the estimates were considered. lie
then moved that the rule compelling
adjournment at midnight be again Sus-
pended TO enable the house to conclude
the debate Oh the Irish land purchase
bill. His motion was carried by vote OF
1876 TO 159. On motion to go into com
mittee on the bill MIR. Parnell proposed
an amendment giving the government
poWer to instruct the land commission
to deal with arrears when fixing judicial
rents. He urged that in view OF the
fact that it was agreed on all sides tiat
the arrears question must necessarily
be settled it ought to be dealt with
without delay in conjunction with the
question of land purchase. This done,
it would place the tenant in position
to contract freely with the landlord,
protect the eXchequer against loss ara
give the AshbOurne act the best pos
sible chance to work with SmoothneSS.
Mir. Smith commended that the course
which Mr. Parnell proposed would
place the tenant in distinctly worse
hnfnrn lANI -
rearS as a charge that might continue
to hang around his neck even after com
plotting his purchase. Now, after con-
tract for purchase had been agreed
upon. the arrears became ipSo facto
wiped out. Mr.. Dillon held that the
mischief of arrears occurred before the
agreement for purchase was signed.
Mr.. Parnelrs motion was rejected by a
vote of 1872 to 14S.
Mr.. Nolan Home-ruler) moved that
purchasing tenants be allowed also to
purchase grass land in the neighbor-
hood of their holdings. Messrs. Plum
ket and Smith admitted that the matter
was worthy of attention, but said that
the subject should be considered apart
from the present bill. MIR. Morley ad-
vised that the motion be withdrawn.
Several ParnelliteS retorted that the gov
eminent objected to the motion because
an lriShman was the author, and
they insisted upon division. The mo-
ton was negatived, 159 to 12S. Sir b.
Walter Foster (LiberaN moved to reduce
the amount of the grant asked for in the
bill to e1.5OO,0O0. Sir G. o. Trevelyan
said that he had heard that nobleman
connected with minister had already
received 9200, 900, and that Lord Lon
donderry would be benefited by the
measure. Mr.. GOschen repudiated Ire
velyan's insnuations. High G. Childers
commented on the absence OF informa-
ton regarding the information of the
Ashbourne act. After further debate,
Il e motion was rejected by vote OF 2l2
to 154.
