The Irish policy of the Government was debated in the House of Con boxing tournament held at Ming The outstanding feature of the

by a small margin.

Str Hamar Greenwood said that the Irish clergy were belatedly facing the real issue, namely the indiscriminate and callous murders of Crown Forces and law-abiding citizens. He quoted denunciations of the murders by prelates, pointing out that the opposition had not emphasised this vital Issue. As regards opinion abroad, Sir Hamar Greenwood said that the Government's information showed that it was realised that the Government was standing for civilisation in Ireland. - Ee denounced the official Liberal propaganda in circularising France with a chart of reprisals as besmirching which ended in the latter being its own country in an attempt to destroy the Government. (Cheers). He knocked out in the fourth round. repudiated De Valera's allegations that soldiers and police outraged women,

a report for which a scrap of evidence had not been produced. As regards the details Capt. Wedgwood Benn had quoted, they were abominable if true | but he hoped to show that steps had been taken to ensure punishment if the offences had occurred.

MR. ASQUITH BLAMED.

In addition four other fateresting bouts were staged, all going the scheduled number of rounds, with the exception of the heavyweight contest between AB Evans and P O Rosser

COMMISSION OF INQUIRY DEMANDED.

Lord Robert Cecil sadeavoured to refute Sir Hamar Greenwood's assertions. He described the Government's policy as a complete failure, Murders and atrocities were increasing. Had the Cork burnings occurred in the Colonies a commission of inquiry like the Hunter Commission would immediately have been instituted and no stone' would have been left un turned. Lord Robert Cect advised the Government to throw aside all concealments and appoint a commission comprising a fudge, a general, and a member of Parliament to make a searching enquiry.

fifth rounds easily, showing up as the much 'superior boxer, while his opponent was obviously tiring and unable to put any sting into his blows. The last round also favoured Bullard who was given the verdict. TEDDY NEAL BEAT LDG. STOKER BRITT.

This was weight contest which went the whole distance, being productive of some hard fighting. Britt had an advantage of 7lbs in weight. Os opening Neal went straight to close quarters hitting out with both hands, prevented much damage being done. He loosed out a couple of heavy

Mr. Asquith replied spiritedly to Sir Hamar Greenwood's implications that he had encouraged the Sinn Feiners. He pointed out that he was continually deprecating crimes but was more strongly denouncing the but Britt took things quietly and Government's exaggerated imitation of the crimes. He appealed for a prompt and impartial inquiry and a complete truce binding both sides.

Winding up the debate, Mr. Bonar Law expressed the opinion that the Government would either have to surrender to the campaign of crime or prove its power to put down crime.

The amendment was rejected by 257 votes to 88 and the Address was adopted.
