In the House of Lords on Wednesday the Iriah Bill

was again in Committee. Lord Carson, referring to the criticism that ae a Law Lord he ought not to play an Active part in politics, said that if he had thought for one moment that he would be restricted in any way in expressing his opinion about the Bill he would not have continued to hold his present office. If necessary he would still set himself free. Ultimately Lord Carson withdrew an amendment which provided that in the event of either the North or the South disagreeing with the decision of the Boundary Committee, the aggrieved party should have the right to appeal to the Privy Council.
