Imperial Politics.
.* (PEE FBESS ASSOCIATION). London, March 5. In the House of Commons to-day, Mr John Morley, Chief Secretary for Ireland, introduced the Irish Land Bill. The Bill is to a large extent based on the recommendations of last year's commission. All improvements since 1850 are regarded as the tenant's, unless otherwise provided, and vests absolutely in the tenant on whose ownership over improvements no rent is chargeable. The measure fixes the duration of judicial rents at tea years, and repeals the landlord's right of pre-emption where the tenant has the sole right of holding after the lapse of two years. Only two years' arrears of rent is recoverable under the Bill. It includes the voluntary principle between the iandlord and evicted tenant, and enables evicted tenants to purchase holdings by means of Government loans. The Bill has been read a first time. The McCartbyite section oif the Irish Party favor the measure, but the Opposition have not disclosed the line of action they will take up. The Times has a hostile criticism of the Bill. The Australian Customs Bill, introduced into the House of Commons by Mr Buxton, passed the first reading.
