concerns and at the same time to having irish
Members in London acting and voting on English
and Scotch questions" No declaration could be
more public or binding 1t is for Mr.. Gladstone
extraordinarily explicit. He docs not deny 1T.
He does not even seek 70 explain it away. Yet he
has now done precisely what he said in 1856 he
would never do. The legislature he is setting
up in Dlblin is to manage Irish concerns and there
are TO De at the same time Irish members III Lon

Imperal questions has been abandoned. and the
abandonment makes a fourth Home Rule bill The
