UNSETTLED IRELAND.
A DISCUSSION IN PARLIAMENT. By Telegraph.—Press Assn.--Copyright. Received December IS, 11.15 p.m. London, Dec. 19. In the House of Commons, prior to Mr. T. P. O'Connor moving the adjournment to call attention to the suppression of Freeman's Journal, Mr. Lan Macpherson (the Secretary for Ireland) said that the Journal had served a writ on the Government, and therefore any discussion was sub judice. Mr. O'Connor defended the articles for which the Journal was suppressed. One condemned the enlistment of civil servants as special constables, and another declared that crime in Ireland was England's greatest asset. Mr. O'Connor said there was evidence of a militarist plot to provoke Ireland to outrage and to drown Home Rule in blood. The Irish Government was creating crime. Mr. W. Adamson (the Labor leader) said that Labor believed that the frequency of repressive measures was clogely connected with the prevalence of crime in Ireland. Mr. Denis Henry said that the articles had long been tolerated, but they became too objectionable. The Journal declared that civil servants not joining as specials would be marked men.—Aus.N.Z. Cable Assn.
