ANGRY ULSTERMEN.
LEAVE HOUSE OF COMMONS. IRISH BILL PASSED. (Press Association—Copyright.) (Received 7.35 p.m.) i London, March 6.—ln the House of Commons’ debate on the Irish Bill, after an amendment by Mr T. Moles had been withdrawn, Mr Church* *1 proved the closure, which was carried, despite Ulster members’ angry protests against the gag. Later, Mr Churchill refused to nc cept other amendments. Captain Craig said he refused to take part in any other discussion. While the Government refused to alter a single line of the Bill at the request of Ulster members, when the Sinn Feiners in Dublin passed a resolution necessitating a change the Government immediately agreed. All the Ulstermen thereupon jvalked out, one crying: “We will debate the Bill elsewhere.” An official amendment was carrie 1 extending the to four months for the South Irish elections. Afterwards, several Commoners wh . had given notice of amendments declined to move them, as a protest against the action of the Government regarding previous amendments. The Bill was passed.—(A. and N.Z.)
