1 AUGUST 1874, Page 2

The Irish Members have quite rightly entered this weeks vary

strong-protest against including Acts which are grave-Constitu- tional anomalies,—like the Irish Coercion Acts,—in-the" Omnibus' class of Bill called the Expiring Laws Continuance Bill. No practise can be more objectionable ; and the Irish Members have so fir succeeded, that they have wrung from Mr. Disraeli the conces- slok of only continuing these Coercion Acts till December 31, 1875, instead of till August, 1876. The concession is inadequate, but is a moral victory for the Irish Members.
