Speaking to his constituents at Bristol, Mr. Birrell, Chief Secretary for Ireland, said that the Prime Minister, Mr. Asquith, would introduce the Home Rule Bill.
The Protestants of Ulster were quite right in saying they would fight for their religion and property, but there was no great occasion to begin drilling immediately. If, added the Minister, their property was despoiled they would find the whole forces of the Empire and the unimpaired supremacy of the Imperial Parliament behind them.-
