) : f Che Daily Examiner JANUARY 25 1886 Peter DesBrisay Esquire Mr. Perer DesBrisay passed away He was the eldest yesterday morning. nas DesBrisay—who g son of the late T established the Apothecaries Hail in 1810—and was born on the 17th of September 1811. For many years he was assistant Postmaster General under the late Thomas Owen, Esq., and sub sequently uoder the Hon. L. C. Owen. Upon the latter gentleman's resignation he was appointed Postmaster General of the Island, and held the office until there was a chavge of Government in 1867. Ia 1872 he was appointed to the office | Assistant Provincial Secretary, which he} held until the amalgamation of that | office with that of the Clerk of the} Executive Council in 1876; but he retaioed a position in the Provincial Secretary's Office until 1879.

He was highly respected as a citizen and as an official; and he died, peacefully, at | a good round age. <PVGENSUERETEREAEAT NT ITE The Irish Question in Parliament | Tue [rish question was of course the | chief feature of the debate which took | place on Friday on the Address in reply | to the Queen’s Sptech. According to| the telegraphic summary, Mr. Gladstone | said that in seeking a re-election he was} main'y guided by the wish to proceed | with a proposal regard to both the legislative and social position of Ireland. | Oaly the Government, however, .was| able to act in such a matter, and he} did not intend to introduce a proposa! of) his own, but he would reserve his! opinion. He would also reserve his} decision whether to alter or to add tu the proposals embodied ia his election mapi- festo. He pleaded for a patient hearinug of the opinions of Lrish Nationalists. In reply to Mr. Giadstone, Sir Michael Hicks Beach said the new chief secretary for Ireland would cousider the question whether the ordinary powers were sufii- cient, or whether special powers would be needed to suppress boycotting. Mr. Parnell said that he had always believed that if the principle were admit- ted that Ireland was entitled to some form of self-covernment,the settlement of the details would not be found a formid- able task, and thai there be no yreat difficulty in securing the Empire against separation. He himself, although a Pre- testant, feared no danger to the “minority in Ireland from the Catholics. The whole question was one of reasonable or ex orbitant rents. He denied that the} National ‘League encouraged boycotting. Nationalist members, he said, on seeing | the manifest desire of England to weigh! the Irish question calmly, had resolved | that no extravagance of word or action| on their part should mar the first fair chance Ireland ever had. | > Lord Randolph Churchill said he wished the House to clearly understand that it would be impossible for the present Government to sanction an Irish Parliament. But the Government would be prepared when the proper time ar- rived with a scheme to improve local vovernment io ireland. In view of the gravity of the situation, the statesmen of England dre evidently determined to be calm and moderate in their words, The remarks of Mr. Par- nell were, it will be admitted by all, prudent and sensible.
