LONDON, Feb. iG.--In the Commons
this evening Morley, In accordance
with notice previously given. moved
that the House adopt vote censurlng
the Irish Executive Committee for lis
action In the Tippcrary prosecutions.
He referred 10 the Incarceration ~
OBrlen aud Dillon, and said this was
the climax VI the prosecutions. He
had not been hostile 10 police until
alter seeing what n pitch of dcmorall.
Hation, brutality and lawlcssnoss the
agencies Of BAlfOur had been brought
TO ny Balfour'- standing up for their
every act, right or wrong. tchccr.
reference To the troublcin ripperary,
which he witnessed. merely said the
police adopted n course on that occa.
sion for which In England Colonel
Chddeli aud every man concerned
would have been cashiered. The police
used brutal, fcrocious anu absolutely
unpfovOked violence, OF which any
disciplined force la the world ought 10
be ashamed. He was astonishcd that
bali0ur nccufed him Of exnggcTati0n,
Tie tMorlcyl was ready 10 attest 10
everything In court. IL wns no fault
OF his That action had not been brought.
When the coercion act was passed II
was not intended that eases like thosn
In Tippefary should be Withdrawn
from jury. The bench there wa. de.
llbcrately packed. The selection OF
Magistrate Shannon was about the
most mOnstrous act Balfour ever corr
milt,d. II was n prostitution Of the
tribunal.
Morley then preceded 10 denouuce
the viniictlvenvs- Of the Irish cxe,u.
tive, whose actions, which would not
DO for n moment tolerated In Englnud,
Ind allenaied the people Of Ireland.
Rutsell's amendment, alleging that
the action VI the executive was made
imperative by the activity Of tile Irish
conspiracy, was an admission OF the
failure Of the Coercion act. Tlulr was
rapidly bringing the day near when
the government would be brought Ia
account.
Russell (Unionls,) ridiculed AIorley'a
statement anu upheld the action OF The
Sire % Diiion and OsBrisn had turned
Tlppsrary, once one 81 the most pros.
porous towns In Ireland, Into place n
dcsolaic as II swept by an avenging
army.
GLADSTONE EXPRESSED SURPRISE
that thu government countennnced an
amendment cvadlng the main accusa-
ton against Balfour. Assailing the
authors % the plan Of camdaign was
not answer 10 the charge. by garbling
thcevldcnce, the government aimed 10
exclude people from the protection OF
the Jury, In order 10 let tho executive
work their will upon their opponents.
The government had thus effected
compulsory exclusion from the Hous.
OF two OF the ablcst lrlsh members, at a
period when all sides felt the country
had special need of their service.
Doubtless the House would again dis
tlngulsh Itself by voting confidence In
thegovernment. This, however, would
not avert the coming doom, nor Oh
scure the cvef.growing evidence that
the country was determined that their
fellow subjects In Ireland should soon
enjoy the same precious and invaluable
liberties Possessed by the British.
Great cheers.
Gladstone lett the House at the con-
clu.ion OF his speech, being indlspOsed.
The debate was continued by Smith,
Government leader, Nc NELL, Corlett,,
Esmond aud others, Dut the interest
tagged until Balfour arose, when the
House filled up sgnih.
nALfouR ATTACKED MORLEY
for going 10 Tlpperary ~ n wire.puller,
course which no privy councillor ever
took before. But for his presence the
Tipperary riot would not have occurred.
Balfour warmly defended the magis-

HaIcourt, Mccartney and others
