Mr Dillon, M.P., lias publicly stated that all future evictions in Ireland will m et with a wholesale armed resistance on the part of tenants and their sympathisers. Arrest of Mr. Bradlaugh. In the House of Commons to-night Mr. Bradlaugh, who was recently reelected for Northampton, appeared at the table and applied that the oath of allegiance should be administered to him. Sir Stafford Northcote thereupon moved that the House should refuse permission to Mr. Bradlaugh to swear. A debate ensued, in which several members took part. Mr. John Bright spoke warmly against the motion, and was followed by Mr. Gladstone, who also made a speech in favour of permission being granted to Mr. Bradlaugh to take the oath. Upon the House dividing, however, Sir Stafford Northcote’s motion was adopted, by a majority of 32, the Premier and Mr Bright voting with the minority. Mr Bradlaugh then re-appeared in the House, and addressed it, persisting in strong terms in his demand that he should bo sworn. He was ordered by the Speaker to retire, but firmly refused to do so, and violently reiterated his right to take the oath. The Sergeant-at-Arms was then ordered by the Speaker to remove Mr Bradlaugh, but the latter resisted, and was then taken into custody, and placed under arrest until the adjournment of the House.
