HC Deb 15 August 1901 vol 99 cc1111-23

Considered in Committee.

(In the Committee.)

Clause 1 and 2 agreed to.

Schedule:—

MR. TULLY

moved to omit the Irish Sunday Closing Act, 1878. Year after year the Act had renewed, and it was time the Government made up their minds as to whether or not it was to be a permanent Act. He was not certain that the disadvantages of the Act did not outweigh the advantages, for instead of being a Sunday Closing Act, it was a Sunday Opening Act for the low class public-houses.

Amendment proposed— In page 4, line 24, to leave out '(24) 41 and 42 Vic., c. 38, The Sunday Closing (Ireland) Act, 1878.'"—(Mr. Tully.)

Question proposed, "That the words proposed to be left out stand part of the schedule."

MR. JOHN REDMOND (Waterford)

thought the time would soon come when the whole question of Sunday closing in Ireland would have to be considered, and some decision arrived at. It was unsatisfactory to have an Act of this kind renewed year after year for twenty years, but it would be an absurd thing to strike it out of the present Bill. Nobody suggested that the Act should be entirely repealed, and he should certainly vote against the proposal of his hon. friend, in which course of action he thought he would be supported by many hon. Members around him. He earnestly hoped the Amendment would not be pressed, especially as there was a point which they desired to discuss about to be raised.

Amendment, by leave, withdrawn.

MR. O'DOHERTY

moved to omit lines 25 and 26 from the schedule, referring to the Peace Preservation (Ireland) Act, 1881, and the Amending Act of the following year. The House, he thought, could not have the slightest idea of the drastic and atrocious provisions contained in the original Act. One of the provisions was that any person having arms in a district proclaimed under the Act could be hauled up by an ordinary policeman without any information being laid, and imprisoned or fined, even though the arms might be perfectly useless for purposes of discharge. The definition of arms included not only fire-arms, but swords, pikes, and bills, and he had known men of spotless character to be dragged before magistrates for having arms which were absolutely useless. They not only complained of the provisions of this Act, but they also complained of its partial administration, particularly in the north of Ireland. There the Act had only been used to harass and persecute Nationalists in country districts, and it was never put into operation in the Orange districts. On the 6th of June last, a bomb, described by the Chief Secretary as being of a dangerous character, was discharged in the Catholic quarter of Londonderry, and an expression of regret at the occurrence had been made on behalf of the Government. If a like outrage had happened in the county of Sligo or Mayo in which Nationalists were implicated, did they imagine that an expression of regret would for one moment be taken as a sufficient excuse? Some weeks later another bomb, which was also described as being of a dangerous character, was discharged from the city walls of Londonderry, and two children were seriously injured. He asked the right hon. Gentleman if the police authorities in Londonderry had communicated the names of the two men who had discharged this bomb. The reply he received was that the Castle authorities again accepted an expression of regret from those two men who had committed this outrage. Had that occurred in the South or West of Ireland or in the Catholic districts of the north of Ireland what would have happened to those men? Why, they would have been sent to penal servitude for at least two years. Were they to understand that there was one law for the Nationalists and another for the Orangemen? The Chief Secretary had admitted that the Castle authorities were afraid of prosecuting their supporters in the north of Ireland. Those men were merely the tools of those who appeared on the election committees of hon. Gentlemen opposite, and it was the duty of the Chief Secretary to at least see that justice was meted out to Nationalists in those districts as well as to Orangemen. Not long ago a procession of Orangemen marched through the streets of Londonderry carrying naked swords, and no prosecution was instituted against them until some months after- wards, during which period the question was brought to the front by the press. Later on two resident magistrates were sent to try twelve of these men for illegally carrying naked swords, and they were fined 1d. each with costs. In other parts of Ireland if Nationalists were found carrying naked swords they would get six months imprisonment. They had heard a great deal about the grievances of the Uitlanders, but if the right hon. Gentleman would see that the Catholics in Ireland got the same treatment as their Orange brethren he would be doing a great deal. In the North of Ireland the punishment was most drastic in the case of Catholics, but in other cases when the offenders happened to belong to the opposite party they got off with penny fines! He thought the examples he had given showed that this Act was not administered impartially in the Protestant and Unionist districts in Ireland, while in Nationalist country districts it was used to persecute the Catholic inhabitants. In the county of Donegal a procession marched through a proclaimed district, and in this case three men carried naked swords, and yet there had been no prosecution. He begged to move the Amendment standing in his name on the Paper.

Amendment proposed— In page 4, lines 25 and 26, to leave out '(25) 44 and 45 Vic. c. 5, The Peace Preservation (Ireland) Act, 1881."—(Mr. O'Doherty.)

Question proposed, "That the words proposed to be left out stand part of the Schedule."

MR. WYNDHAM

The hon. Member opposite said that this is not the date or hour to discuss the merits or the demerits of this Act, and I quite agree with that statement. This Act was placed on the Statute-book by Mr. Gladstone's Government in 1881; it was renewed in 1886 by another Government of Mr. Gladstone's, with the full concurrence of the Irish party. It has been renewed subsequently in the Expiring Laws Continuance Act by the Administrations of Lord Salisbury and by his political opponents. Every Government during the last twenty years, has found it necessary, or at any rate expedient, to keep the Act on the Statute-book. The complaint of the hon. Member is not so much of the existence of the Act, but he suggests that it is not properly administered, and he argues that its application should be more general, and states that it is applied more stringently in some places than in others. I am afraid that I cannot accept the hon. Member's illustrations. The bomb fired at Londonderry, which figured in the hon. Member's speech, has often been mentioned before, and it was in fact a rocket with a metal case and an explosive inside. One of these rockets fell into a yard and harmlessly burst, and another was found by a boy and injured him while he was handling it. When these facts were made known to the person responsible for the fireworks he was admonished that such rockets were not to be used, and he expressed his regret. I think sufficient notice was taken of the incident. That is the character of the evidence brought forward by the hon. Member, who says that the Act is maladministered. Although I could develop that argument at great length, I do not think I should do so at this time of night (4 a.m.). The Government do impartially administer the Act; it is not true that they deliberately, or even carelessly, apply it more stringently in some parts of the

country than in others. It is enforced in agrarian districts, and it is in operation in the cities of the north. I do not think I should be justified in labouring this matter at any great length. If I have failed to satisfy the hon. Member he can test the opinion of the House by taking a vote.

MR. O'DOHERTY

said the Act gave the police power to visit houses where they knew firearms were stored. There were houses in Derry where firearms were stored, and prosecutions did not take place.

MR. CULLINAN (Tipperary, S.)

denied that there was impartial administration when a man in his constituency was sentenced to five years imprisonment for the alleged dropping of a simple explosive, while an apology was accepted in Derry for the explosion of a missile which actually did injury to persons. How would Englishmen like to be so treated? The Act was administered in the most outrageously unjust manner.

Question put.

MR. O'MARA

moved to omit the Light Railways Act. 1896, from the schedule on the ground, as he stated, that the Act had been mainly used by speculators for their personal and private profit. He understood that the Act was to be brought before the House, next year, and therefore he would not state his objections at any great length now.

Amendment proposed— In page 5, lines 11 and 12, to leave out '(33) 59 and 60 Vic. c. 48, the Light Railways Act, 1896.'"—(Mr. O'Mara.

Question put, "That the words proposed to be left out stand part of the Schedule."
