PLAN OF CAMPAIGN.
MR. GLADSTONE AND THE
GOVERNMENT,
THE TREATMENT OF MR. DILLON,
MR BALFOUR'S EXPLANATION.
[press association.]
London, June 27. During the discussion on Mr. Morley's motion of censure, Mr. W. O'Brien defended the Plan of Campaign.
Mr. Gladstone complained that the Government had refused to give information as to the operation of the exceptional laws. The treatment of Mr. Dillon he considered had been harsh, cruel, and mean, and the conduct of the magistrates who committed him was equally scandalous with that of the judge who had sentenced him.
Mr. Balfour denied that the Government had at any time withheld information as to the operation of the law, and with reference to Mr. Dillon he said that he was an ordinary prisoner, and was being treated as such.
