(Received 13, 11.25 a.m.) London, April 12. The House of Commons was convulsed by Mr Asquith’s admission that savings bank depositors would receive six months’ notice to enable them to withdraw their money in the event of the Irish Government assuming control of the bank. Mr Asquith stated that, if ever Ireland managed more than to pay her way in three, years running he would arrange for an Irish Constitution to the common expenditure to assist to diminish the two millions deficit. Mr Asquith did not mention the judiciary, but it was the Government’s intention to safeguard pensions. New Judges would lie appointed by the Lord-Lieutenant on the Irish Executive’s advice. Critics state that the freedom of the Irish Legislature in connection with excise will enable them to confer preference to Irish spirits by reduction of duty. The Pall Mall Gazette says the main effect of the Bill is that' England pays without governing and Ireland governs without paying. The Westminster Gazette says the Bill firmly unites the supporters of the principle of Home Rule. The Freeman’s Journal says it if the boldest and most generous measure yet introduced. The Cork Free Press says that as a permanent system it does not solve the Irish problem. The Irish Times declares that it will prove utterly unworkable. It does not offer the middle course between separation and a return to the status of union. The Irish Independent cannot regard the scheme as final. It gives three-quarters of what was expected. The Northern Whig, Belfast, says the Bill is more illogical and complicated than the one Gladstone conceived in fraud. Henry was found in his residence shot in the head in a critical condition.
