The Tenant-Right Conference, assembled in Dublin, concluded its ses- sion
on Thursday afternoon. There was some bickering among the lead- ing men, especially between Mr. G. H. Moore and Mr. Lucas ; who, however, laudably patched up their differences. The tenon of the resolu- tions adopted by the Conference was similar to those which have been so many times published by the Tenant-Right League. They resolved that 'the usual means for carrying out an association of the kind shall be em- ployed, in raising funds, establishing London offices, collecting informa- tion, and holding periodical meetings. It should be observed that all the Members of Parlianient attending the Conference are not members of the Tenant-Right League, but all are generally favourable to its objects. These were represented by Mr. G. H. Moore ; who took great pains to make his independent position evident to the extreme Leaguers.
In the evening, a grand banquet was given to Mr. Sharman Crawford, in the Rotunda ; Mr. Kennedy, M.P. for Louth, occupying the post of authority. Seven Members of Parliament besides Mr. Crawford delivered themselves of long orations.
Seventeen Members of Parliament held a meeting on Friday ; and ap- pointed a committee, as a preparative for a conference, to decide upon the manner in which the question affecting religious equality shall be treated next session.
