THE IRISH LAND BILL.
Press Association,--Electrio Telegraph.—Copyright. London, April 4. Earl Spencer, speaking at Skipton, stigmatised the Irish Laud Purchase Bill as costly, cumbrous, and unworkable. Lord Churchill has published a letter in the Morning Post on the same subject, denouncing it as monstrous to force the measure on an unwilling people. He was certain that repayment of the advances would be repudiated. London, April 6. In his letter to the Morning Post on the Irish Land Purchase Bill, Lord .Randolph Churchill declares that if it passes into law it will involve the loss of £20,000,000, while the loss entailed under the Ashbourne Holdings Act, 1888, would be only £9,000,000. He considers the security to be given unworthy of trust, and that the scheme of Mr. Gladstone is much superior to the proposal under consideration.
