O’Brien’s book on “The Olive Branch in Ireland,” states that Lord Wyndham’s Purchase Act was largely wrecked by many Irish Parliamentarians who were averse to the peace and contentment which tho Act brought to thousands of tenant purchasers. Five thousand people at Glasgow, including twelve members of Parliament, inaugurated a national committee to secure devolution and control of Scottish affairs. THE OSBORNE JUDGMENT. LONDON, Oct. 26.
