case put before him on Monday last

what the outcome will be remains
doubtful. Mr.. Lloyd George recog-
mixed two circumstances which call for
special consideration In the case OF
Lreiand--first. that there IL not in the
English sense OF the term q market
able value in the monopoly. because OF
the increase In the number of public
houses and the diminution Of the popu-
iatton. and, second. that so per cent
Of the public houses are concerned in
Q mixed trade, which IL an important
element where payment IL made upon
the annual value. The Chancellor of
the Exchequer' admitted that these
special considerations call for full
consideration. and raised Q hope that
some concession would ultimately be
made. In the English trade, opinion
is divided as to whether any conces-
sion coufi be favorably regarded out
side OF Ireland That the friendly at
tttude OF the Chancellor OF the Elk
chequer 10 dictated in the full ap-
probation OF the necessity Of securing
the support Of Irish members all are
in agreement. but the question Of q
differentiation of treatment raises
doubt as to the ultimate fate Of the
proposals; for 1t is pointed out by O
considerable section that with conces-
sions to ireland the House Of Lords
may be induced to regard the whole
bill more favorably ami permit 1t to
pass, whereas in It's present form its
fate Ia almost certain.
Pending fuller knowledge of what
the Chancellor proposes to do, the

pounded their views and claims at the
Street Hotel on July 9. and laid them
before the Chancellor. Since the
licensing proposals were introduced

George said: MY position is that

to find that somewhere, and cannot

There were further disturbances at
this weeks meeting of the Dublin Cor
poration. and after a vain attempt by
the Lord Mayor to preserve order, the

the special business for which It had
been summoned could be transacted.
When the roll had been called the
Lord Mayor rose and referred to what
he described as the disgraceful scenes
which occurred at the last meeting.
He named to the citizens, the rate
