We have dealt at length elsewhere with the passage of

the Home Rule Bill through the House of Commons for the second time. We will only say here that the third reading was passed by a majority of 109 (352-243). On Tuesday, after one day's debate, the Welsh Church Bill was read a third time by a majority of 103 (347-244). It would be useless to attempt to summarize the debate, for under the Parliament Act debate is in truth valueless. All we can do is to record the grinding of the great Parliamentary sausage machine. In the division one Liberal, Sir Edward Beauchamp, voted against the Govern- ment. The O'Brienites abstained from voting.
