CARSON'S PEERAGE
JUDGESHIP RESTRICTS HIS PRIVILEGES.
LONDON, 27th March. In the House of Lords, the only feature of the debate on the third reading of the Irish Bill was Lord Birkenhead's sharp attack upon Lord Carson for misusing his position as a Judge. Lord Carson was absent owing to illness. Lord Birkenhead urged that if Lord Carson remained a Law Lord, he had no right to make political speeches. He said that a« a peer Lord Carson was entitled to express his views, but he had no right to make bitter taunts against members of the Government and deliver partisan attacks on the Government's policy. The position of Law Lord was exactly the same as that of any other Judge.
