LONDON, July 24. In the House of; Commons Mr John Redmond accused Mr Moore, member for North Armagh, of writing a letter to Mr Bailey, one of the Irish Estates Commissioners, threatening him wiih divers pains and penalties when the Unionists regained power. Amid an uproarious scene, the letter was read. Mr Moore said in the letter that Bailey, though appointed by the Unionists to see fair play between the two other Commissioners, had sold the party on every occasion. Moore threatened to move for an inquiry when the o nionisi.s regained office.

Mr Moore admitted that the letter was imprudent, but it was written in order to repel an unfair attack on Com missioner Wrench.
