Mr.. Morley had both protested against tho
brief time allowed them 70 consider the

ly less complicated than the present ono.
When Mr.. Gladstone rose 70 reply 70 Mr..
Balfour he was enthusiastically cbeered.
He readily admitted his action In 1851. but
said that the opinion OF the House then
was that q resolution like the one referred
TO ought not 10 be kept pending. More
over, the House had already gone through
an immense amount OF work and q stiil
greater amount was awaiting It's attention.
Indeed, IL had become question ~ 10
whether the House was or was not aoIe 70

been entrusted.

was no such question in 1897 as existed
now. On the grounds Of public duty he
must decline 10 accede 70 the wish OF Mr..
Balfour that further time be given the op-
position TO consider the terms OF the reso-
luton.
The sitting closed amid unbornded en-
thusiasm on the part Of tho Irish Radical
and Liberal members.
