Debates on Irish Land Bill End With Large Approval
The four nights' debate closed in the early hours with a strong 433 majority for the second reading. Prime Minister Gladstone signaled willingness to amend cottage allotments, leasing powers, and eviction damages while Disraeli prepared to push free contract and limit county cess for small holdings. A separate Education Bill debate followed, with Conservative unity growing and Liberal resistance easing under Treasury concessions. The Scottish Church-rate bill was crushed by 117 votes, amid Liberal disintegration fears as Ollivier’s government in France presses ahead with left-leaning cohesion.
