EVICTED TENANTS BILL.
MR MORLEY'S PROPOSALS,
London", April 20. Under the Evicted Tenants Bill Mr John Morley proposes that Irish tenants evicted since 1879, if the farms on which they resided are etill in the landlords' hands, should appeal to three Government arbitrators, who may, if they think fit, reinstate them on the laud. The arbitrators will fix the amount of rent, the landlord to receive two years' arrear?, the tenants paying half the amount, and tho State half out of the sum of £100,000 to be taken from the Irish Church fund. The landlords will be able to insist on their tenants purchasing the holdiugs at a price to be fixed by the arbitrators. Where landgrabbers occupy farms they will not be expropriated unless willing, when they will be paid compensation, half by the tenants and half by tho State.
Messrs Dillon and Sexton welcome the Bill.
The Parnellitios oppose ib, and the Unionists are reserved in their attitude.
