THE CRIMES BILL.
In the House of Commons last night Mr Arthur Balfour, Secretary of State for Ireland, moved the first reading of the Irish Crimes Bill. The Bill grants summary jurisdiction to Resident Magistrates, and provides for a change of venue, allowing trials to be transferred to England. The Bill also gives power to proclaim illegal societies. Mr Par nell, who had given notice that he should move that the House forthwith go into Committee to consider the state of Ireland, deferred his amendment. Mr John Dillon delivered a speech violently attacking the Bill, declaring it it were passed the Irish people would not submit to the measure, and he himself would be prepared to lead m resisting the carrying out of its provisions.
