§ And which Amendment was,
§ To leave out paragraphs ten and eleven, in order to insert the words — "Humbly to represent to Her Majesty that the portion of the Irish legislation of last Session, "which was of an ameliorative character, has tended to diminish agrarian crime, whereas the repressive legislation of the Session has done much to alienate the sympathy and respect of Her Majesty's Irish subjects for the law; and that the administration of the Criminal Law Amendment Act, as well as much of the action of the Executive in Ireland, has been harsh, partial, and mischievous."—(Mr. Parnell.)
§ Question again proposed, "That the words proposed to be left out stand part of the Question."
§ Debate resumed.
