§ LORD GEORGE HAMILTONasked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, If he would have any objection to state how the Government propose to give effect to the unanimous Resolution of 12th June 1883, that the purchase clauses of the Land Act of 1881 should be revised and expanded?
§ MR. T. P. O'CONNORBefore the right hon. Gentleman answers this Question, I would like to ask him whether a Resolution calling upon the Government, in practically the same terms as the Resolution of the noble Lord last Session, to revise and extend the Purchase Clauses of the Land Act, was one of the Resolutions passed at a meeting held in the North of Ireland, which was denounced by the noble Lord himself as seditious, and dangerous to the peace of the country?
§ LORD GEORGE HAMILTONPerhaps the hon. Member would quote my words. I said nothing of the kind.
§ MR. TREVELYANIn reply to the noble Lord, I am not prepared at present to make any statement on this Question. The first Notice referring to it which appears on the Paper of the House is a Bill of my hon. Friend the Member for Tyrone (Mr. T. Dickson) for the 30th of April.
