THE IRISH QUESTION.
- — j DEBATE IN THE HOUSE OF COMMONS. MR. REDMOND'S AMENDMENT REJECTED. f By Telegraph.Press Association.—Copyright. (Received January 26. 4.35 p.m.) London, January 25. By 237 votes to 134. the House of Commons rejected Mr. Redmond's amendment to the Address-in-Reply complaining of the . Government's refusal of a measure of compulsory land purchase, the revival of coercion and the suppression of free speech. The minority included 63 Nationalists and 71 Radicals. The abstention of the Roseberyites was a protest against Nationalist methods, especially in regard to traitorous speeches. Mr, Atkinson, Attorneyfor Ireland, said there was no serious crime in Ireland. The league had not been proclaimed. It could easily be revived under another name. The non-payment of rent and boycotting were cases which could be properly dealt with by the magistrates instead of juries. Mr. Morley, in a vigorous criticism of the speech, supported the amendment and advocated self-go-vernment- on the colonial principle for Ireland. London, January 24. The "no-rent" campaign on the De Eeyne estate is collapsing, the bulk of the tenantry having paid.
