[67] In reference to the legal effect of the Government of Ireland Bill on the sovereignty of Parliament, see on the one side the speeches of Sir Henry James of 13th May, 1886, '_The Times_ Parliamentary Debates,' p. 468; of Mr. Finlay, 21st May, 1886, '_The Times_ Parliamentary Debates,' p. 614; and an article by Sir William Anson on the Government of Ireland Bill and the Sovereignty of Parliament in the _Law Quarterly Review_ for October, 1886. See on the other side Mr. Gladstone's speeches in Parliament of 8th April, 1886, '_The Times_ Parliamentary Debates,' p. 125; of 13th April, 1886, _ibid._ 255; of 10th May, 1886, _ibid._ 404; and of 7th June, 1886, _ibid._ p. 861; of Mr. Parnell of 7th June, _ibid._ p. 847; and 'The Government of Ireland Bill,' being a speech delivered by Mr. James Bryce, M.P., on 17th May, 1886, and published as a pamphlet. My disagreement with Mr. Bryce's conclusions makes me anxious to express my great admiration for his speech, which is by far the best statement I have read of the view undoubtedly held by Mr. Gladstone and his followers, that the Bill did not affect the sovereignty of Parliament. The reader should notice that the question throughout between the late Government and its opponents was as to the effect of the Bill on the sovereignty of what I have called the "British Parliament," _i.e._ the body, by whatever name it be called, which consists of the representatives of England and Scotland only, and does not include representatives of Ireland.
