LAW LORDS.
FUNCTIONS IN THE HOUSE. THE MATTER DEBATED. By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright. Received March 23, 5.5 p.m. London, March 22. In the House of Lords, in committee on the Irish Bill, Lord Haldane said that peers who were introduced into the House as judges should be sparing in the exercise of their legislative powers. Lord Carson said that if he had thought he was to be restrained in this matter he would have resigned his office. Lord Birkenhead stated that he advised Lord Carson that he occupied a peculiar position, different from any other of the law lords. Lord Carson said he was prepared to withdraw the amendment. Lord Birkenhead stated that a grave situation was existing on the frontier. It was a menace to the translation of the agreement into successful practice. He hoped that if the two Irish Premiers met they could arrange for a neutral zone between the contesting parties, to be occupied by troops until the boundary was finally settled. The amendment was withdrawn.
