[48] This is at any rate the opinion of Mr.Redmond expressed in the _Nineteenth Century_, Oct.

1892.
[49] Bill, clause 9, sub-clause (3).
[50] The authors of the Home Rule Bill foresee the possibility of such an erroneous decision.

They have carefully provided that such an error shall have no legal effect.

Clause 9, sub-clause (4), 'Compliance with the provisions of this section shall not be questioned otherwise than in each House in manner provided by the House,' is in reality a provision sanctioning the grossest unfairness.

Its effect is that a British Bill passed solely by virtue of the Irish vote is, on its becoming an Act, good law, in spite of its having been passed in violation of the constitutional rule laid down in clause 9, sub-clause (3), that an Irish member shall not be entitled to deliberate or vote on any Bill the operation of which is confined to Great Britain.
[51] Compare Bill, clause 9, sub-clause (3), and sub-clause (4), which provides that 'compliance with the provisions of this section shall not be questioned otherwise than in each House in manner provided by the House.' [52] 23 Geo.III.c.
