right hon. Gentleman that he only
asked for a general understanding that
there should be an endeavour to pass
the remaining Rules in the block on
Thursday. Even when an indefinite
pledge of that kind was given by hon.
Members below the gangway, he had
always found it had been kept, and he
should have been glad to accept even a
pledge in that indefinite form.

MR. A. J. BALFOUR said he really found some difficulty in following the observations of the right hon. Gentleman. The right hon. Gentleman had been good enough to say that he had shown a conciliatory spirit in the earlier part of the evening. He trusted that a conciliatory spirit was the spirit he should always show with reference to matters in this House. When he asked, an hour and a half ago, if there was any reasonable prospect of finishing the Rules on Thursday, he was met with a blank indication of refusal. The House would believe him MR. JOHN REDMOND said he when he said that he was unable to really thought that the right hon. understand how the House could profit- Gentleman-quite unintentionally, of ably spend more than Thursday in course-had misrepresented what took discussing what now remained of the place. He distinctly understood the present block of Rules. There were some matters to be raised on private business, but apart from that all the critical points in the Rules forming the block had been disposed of. That was his sincere opinion, and when he expressed it to the House it was in the hope and expectation that a reasonable prospect might be held out of finishing the remaining Rules in the block on Thursday. He thought he would have been met in a corresponding spirit. Therefore, he felt bound to ask the House to deal with the single point raised in the Amendment to the next Rule, which was not a new Standing Order. There was really only one point of substance to be decided, namely, whether a Motion for the adjourn ment should be taken at an evening sitting or at a morning sitting, and in his opinion that would take only a very short space of time, though of course he should be very glad to put it off until Thursday if he had any hope held out to him or any indication given to him that it would not be made the excuse for continuing the discussion over Thursday. He must therefore ask the House to proceed with the discussion, and he hoped the right hon. Gentleman would not press

his Motion to a division.

MR. BRYCE said he had expressed no opinion as to whether the remaining Rules would be got through on Thursday or not. He only said that bearing in mind the difficulties which had unexpectedly arisen

The right hon. when any understanding was arrived. at between the Government and the Irish Members it was always carefully observed, and it was because he was afraid that the right hon. Gentleman might have been misled, that he intervened at once and said that the suggestion of his hon. friend did not include an undertaking-he thought he used that word-that the Rules would be finished on Thursday night. right hon. Gentleman had simply asked that they would not obstruct the Rules, that would have been an entirely different thing. They had not, in any sense, obstructed the Rules, and the practical result of the discussions was to bring about very serious Amendments. in all the Rules which had been passed. No one could say that there had been any serious attempt at obstruction, and if the right hon. Gentleman had said to him, "I will agree to the adjournment if you will give me an assurance that the discussion of the remaining Rules will not be unduly prolonged," he would have given him that undertaking. But he understood the right hon. Gentleman to ask for an undertaking that the Irish Members would be a party to closing the discussion on Thursday
