LONDON, July 1.-THE House Of Commons.
sitting in committee, continued this evening
the discussion Of clause 9 of the Homo Rule
bill. This clause concerns the question OF
Irish representation at Westminster.
Henry Seton- Knrr. Conservative for the st.
Helena moved that the Irish members OF Inn
perial Parliament should be elected BY the
constituencies which would elect the Irish
Legislative Council Under this amendment
the Irish In the House OF Commons would
number 40 instead Of 80. as proposed BIZ the
bill.
John Morley Chief Secretary for Ireland. re-
plisd that this proposal was based on no prin-
ciple OF government was tho result merely OF
n desire to curtail Irish representation In the
House and could not be accepted by the
Government.
Sir Richard Temple, Conservative for the
Kingston division Of Surrey. said that even
forty eight Irish members would be too many.
William Brodrick, Conservative for the Guild
ford division OF Surrey. agreed with Sir Rich
ard. The Irish were both impecunious and gar
rulous, and therein lay two reasons for reduce
ing their representation In the House to
minimum.
Thomas Sexton. Anti-Parnellite for North
Kerry, interrupted Mr.. Brodrick to say that
such language was grossly impertinent and
ought not to DO tolerated In the House. Tho
JJniopists shouted Withdraw" and the Irish
cheered.
Lord Randolph Churchill suggested that Mr..
Sexton withdraw his words, as Mr.. Brodrick's
we're not intended for him personally.
The Chairman told Mr. Sexton that he was
out Of order and must withdraw his express
sions concerning Mr.. Brodrick's speech. Mr..
Sexton expressed his Willingness to obey the
Chairman In case Mr.. Brodrick would first ex-
press regret for his language.
Timothy Healy, Anti Parnellite for North
Iouth said he regarded Mr.. Sections attitude
as quite justiflable. To call the Irish race i'm
pecunious and garrulous was to insult every
Irish member who stood by his countrymen.
The Irish cheered. the Unionists shouted their
protests. and for two or three minutes the
House was In an uproar. Chairman Mellor
appealed to the members to support him and
