Between 400 and 500 people attended Mr Stout’s lecture on the Irish land question, the Mayor (Mr N. Johnston) in the chair. The lecturer reviewed the causes leading to the present crisis, expressing an opinion that so far the Land League had heen the means of preventing rather than of ocoaiioning agrarian outrages. Eeferring to the oppression that had been practised on Ireland, ho remarked that if the same had been done in Scotland the people would have resisted to the bitter end, and have conquered, too. He hoped for better times under the wise legislation of Mr Gladstone and Mr Bright, and pointed out that to colonists the position of affairs gave valuable lessons what to avoid in legislation. They had to guard against the growth of the landlord class, the existence of which in the colony wes due to the want of wisdom in earliest legislation. The lecturer held that the remedy for Irish unrest was Home Eule, the establishment of a kind of Provincial Pi’-liamont, and reforms rn the land laws.
