§ MR. A. J. BALFOUR (Manchester, E.)I beg to give Notice that in consequence of the challenge thrown out to me by the right hon. Gentleman, the Prime Minister, I shall to-night put down a Resolution on the Paper, to be moved by my learned Friend or myself, in the following terms:—
To call attention to recent events in Ireland, and to move that the action of the Executive in condoning serious offences, and their failure to support and enforce the law, are calculated to resuscitate the system of terrorism and intimidation which formerly prevailed in that country, and to bring the administration of the law into contempt.
