Rerard.nx The executive assembly
these los sembcrs must be elected for
irish Legislative business by cOnstltu-
ruc,es IN ireland. We make these
( proyis,ons IN rexard 10 the assembly
a.serabse IN respect to- electors and
constituencies after SIX years, but IN
altering constituencies the power Of
assembly Will Dc timed by the deelatory
/ Act 10 the effect that due regard must
oe had to the distribution OF popula-
/ ton. The bill must include Q provision
! ON what 10 called q deadlock.

In . case where . ball has been

or q dissolution OF parliament, then
upon us second adoption the two as

Next, eli appeals shall 20 to the

act. that 10. try II ludlcially and with
reasonable judgment under the in
itsatlve of the viceroy or secretary Of
s:ats. This judiciary committee ls
now recognized by Us as the only ap-
/ proacn We can MAKE to the supreme
court OF the United States In conn.,
/ posing this judicial committee due re-
4 gard must 10 pad to the different ele-
l rlen.s of natiooal.ty. We have no,
spprenended any difficulty there.
| O.ncr clauses provide for the security
| Of the emoluments Of existing Judges
and osh cers generally.
Then there "a q clause intended, 70
correspond with the colonial Validity
law. the sffec: OF which le that II ths
Ir,sh lsg,ststure should pass suy action
ANYWAY contrary TO acts of the I'M perial
nsrlaments. sucn law shall Do good

Imperial enactment. Two exchequel
i Judges snail be appointed under the
authority of the crown mainly fol
financial business. Besides the ex.
cheouer Judges IS provided that for Elk
years all Judges snail be appointed a,
now. We do rot reserve for the I'M
/ perlal pariu ut the power TO H,
/ smoluments. tnese will be fixed N
ireland and the effects will be- to estab
llsh q loint cortrol of these appoint
ments. The ryonth of September i,
probably the s.ost convenient montt
for the assembly 10 meet. Therefore
a clause provides that 10 shall meet OF
the first Tuesday IN September.
Dong Away with csnstabie.
Certain clauses secure the Initiative
ia regard u the money bills 10 the as
sembiy. We are now coming to ths
important question TO the cons.xbu
lsry. We propose u gradual reduction
and the uausual intimate dissolution
or Disappearance of that free, with
tue discaarge of every obligation to
wards them N such a way IA will MOI
adversely affect the interests OF thai
honorable force. Durng the period ol
transition they are TO oe under to-
control OF the yceroy. IL is contem
plated that they Will be replaced by .
force owing exisfence TO the Insl
authorities IA local areas.
On the important subject OF the re

never have regarded il ss touching
