ABSTRACT
As becomes a militant Radical, it has often fallen to my lot to find myself in collision with the obstructive branch of the legislature, and from a number of such instances the two selected to be here chronicled occurred in the years 1880 and 1894. In the earlier one the bone of contention was the Bill introduced by Mr. Gladstone and passed through the Commons for the suspension of evictions in Ireland, only to be ruthlessly destroyed by the chamber of landlords, the first of a series of actions which are largely responsible for the present tragic situation in the sister isle.
