LONDON, March lin the Com
mons this evening Lord Randolph
Churchill, resuming debate on the
report of the Parnell Commission,
said that from beginning to end
these proceedings were Initiated by
their unconstitutional character.
When the government decided to
set aside ordinary tribunals il must
have held that the charges against
the Parnellltes constituted a priBId
.fdcle case against the accused.
When the government held there
was a I1rina Jdcie case, it was its
duty to prosecute criminals.
Churchill then argued the matter
on constitutional grounds and defied
any lawyer TO show n precedent or n
parallel for anything approaching
the governments action in appoint
ing a commission constituted of
three judges to fulfil the functions
Of judge and jury. He appealed to
the House TO vote against the pro-
ceedings so utterly unique and I'M
precedented. Never within n CEN
tury and half has any public man
been exposed to such tests and trials
as Parnell. Every clause Of inquiry
in the House except the first was
forced through without debate by
use OF n closure so ruthless that
nothing but the most urgent con-
sideratiOn Of public safety could JUS
tify il. The constitutional party in
lsS2 resisted the closure and now
applied it. In 1852 the government
declared the closure was a most I'M
constitutional and
DANGEROUS INNOVATION.
In 1855 it used the closure in n
most unconstitutional and danger
Gus manner, for the purpose of fore
ing upon its opponents an unprece-
dented, Unparalleled and tremendous
instrument Of oppression.
What has been the result of this
mountainous parturition? A reptile,
n monster, Piggott. What had been
the delivery with all their skill and
parliamentary instruments? y
CHASTITY, bloody, rotten foe to us,
Piggott. Parnellite cheers In
making this motion the government
was violating its own law.
Chamberlain said it was on invi- |
t1tion Of the Parnellites that the
matter was made the subject Of ip-
quiry. He denied that the Commits |
sion was the result of his personal
suggestion. Experience showed
that it was the best and only tribunal |
10 conduct the inquiry. Gladstone |
had admitted the assiduity, abili- |
ty, learning, and perfect, ALSO
lutte good faith OF the judges. lie |
asked to whom the House would |
appeal if it refused TO adopt the
judges opinion on matters Of fact.
He warned the House, with imper-
feet recollecticns OF the terms OF the
report, against assuming judi
cial functions by declining to ac-
cept the judges findings. He urged
the House to leave the matter in the
hands of the nation.
Jennings withdrew his amend
ment. He explained that he had no
desire to stab the government in the
back. Churchill's speech was n
complete surprise to him and
changed his position, his own
not being intended to
be hostile to the government.
