HOUSE OF COMMONS.
AN UPROARIOUS SCENE. ORANGEMAN'S ALLEGED THREATS. LONDON, July 24. Mr. John E. Redmond (Leader of the Irish Nationalists) accused Mr. W. Moore (Unionist member for North Armagh) of writing a letter to Mr. Bailey, one of the Irish Estates Commissioners, threatening him with divers pains and penalties when Unionists regained their power.
Amid an uproarious scene in the House of Commons, the letter was read. In it Mr. Moore said Mr. Bailey, though appointed by the Unionists to see fair play between the two other Commissioners, had sold the party on every occasion. Mr. Moore threatened to move for an inquiry when the Unionists regained office.
Mr. Moore admitted that the letter was imprudent, but it was written, he said, in order to repel an unfair attack on the Commissioner (Mr. Wrench).
