Rejected by 97 British votes. 154 IRISH UNIONISM 30th June, 1875. Grand Jury Reform Bill- Irish vote: Ayes, 32; Noes, 22. Thrown out by 160 British votes. 29th June, 1876. Irish Land Bill Irish vote: Ayes, 48 ; Noes, 33. Rejected by 257 British votes. 24th April, 1877. Irish Land Bill Irish votes : Ayes, 48; Noes, 24. Flung out by no less than 320 purely British votes. " While it was the essence of the Union system that English votes should decide the fate of Irish Bills, Biggar's discovery tha...t Irish opposition could impede English measures provoked a burst of furious indignation which revealed to the world, if not to the people of Great Britain who were in no mood to think of anything but the insult offered to the venerable traditions of Parliament how little the rulers of Ireland believed in the principle of equality, which was, nominally at least, the central fact in the conception of a united kingdom. Biggar discovered the weapon of obstruction, but Parnell sharpened its edge, and by its agency brought about a revolution in parlia- mentary methods not unlike that of the submarine in naval warfare.
