IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT
[By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright.] (Per Press Association.) London, April 18. (Received April 19, at 6 p.m.) In the House of Commons to-day an amendment, moved by Mr Morley, that the operation of the Land .Purchase Act in Ireland should be deferred until the County Government had been created in that country, was rejected by a majority of 77. Mr Parnell voted against the amendment. In questioning Lord Knutsford in the House of Lords to-day on the result of the national convention in Sydney, Lord Norton said though many thought the bill introduced in the convention showed an intentional departure from the British Constitution, he believed the closest possible reproduction of ihe Home Constitution had been arrived at. Lord Knutsford replied that everyone was sensible of the good common sense and sound judgment displayed at the convention.
(Special to Press Association.) London, April 18. (Deceived April 19, at 6 p.m.) Replying to a question in the House of Lords to-day, Lord Knutsford stated that he was unable at present to lay on the table a, record of the proceedings of the National Convention in Sydney, because they were incomplete.
