OUR NEPOTIC GANG.

LONDON, July 17. There was a House of Commons debaté criticising Carson's speech about calling out his Ulster rebels to resist Dominion Home Rule. On Mr. Clynes' motion for adjournment, the Attorney General declared that the speech was not an offence against the law. There was nothing in it,] he much regretted to say, on which legal proceedings could be founded.

Mr. Adamson declared that the Government's attitude was as dan gerous as the speech itself. The decision was irreconcilable with the treatment of certain Labourites still imprisoned.
