MR. GLADSTONEI may take this opportunity of stating the intention of the Government with reference to the Report of the Committee on the state of Westmeath. I have had a communication from the right hon. Gentleman the Member for the University of Oxford on this subject, and I have to state that my noble Friend the Secretary of State for the Colonies will to-day move in the House of Lords for the communication of the evidence taken before the Committee on Westmeath to that branch of the Legislature, and will also give notice of his intention to present a Bill for more effectually securing—I do not now give the technical description of the Bill, 1581 but its object will be to give more effectual security to life and property within certain local limits in connection with crimes and secret societies.
