DISORDERS IN IRELAND.

Press Association—Copyright. London, April 6. Tho House of Lords has been engaged for two days debating the condition of Ireland. The Irish Peers produced testimony of increased lawlessness and terrorism, and that the object of the anti-grazing agitation was to force sales of land at prairie value. Lord Denman’s remark that cattle driving was not a crime of a very serious nature was severely criticised. Lord Crewe explained that Lord Denman did not intend to minimise such criminal and disorderly acts, but merely argued that driving was less serious than maiming. Lord Crewe heartily agreed with Lord Londonderry that vindication of the law ought never to be regarded as a party question. He admitted that severe watchfulness was necessary, adding that Government relied on the ordinary law. Lord Ripon declared that Government wore determined to put into operation all the powers of law they possessed. The Daily Chronicle says Lord Denman’s remarks were not very judicious as driving may bo used very effectively as a means of intimidation and load to serious disorder.
