1881 Commons Ejected Obstruction Order Parnell Removed Sergeant Speaker Stewart
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a pivotal moment in Irish political history: the ejection of Charles Stewart Parnell from the House of Commons on 3 February 1881. The image shows Parnell, the charismatic leader of the Irish National League, being forcibly removed from the chamber by the sergeant-at-arms, under the orders of the Speaker, Charles Stewart, in the midst of heated debates over Irish home rule. The incident occurred during a contentious session in which Parnell and other Irish MPs had disrupted proceedings by refusing to take their seats after being denied the opportunity to address the House on the issue of Irish land tenure. The event was a significant turning point in the struggle for Irish self-governance and marked the beginning of a series of events that would lead to the formation of the Home Rule League and the eventual passing of the Home Rule Bill in 1914. The image serves as a powerful reminder of the passion and determination of the Irish nationalist movement and the often tumultuous nature of parliamentary debates during this period. Charles Stewart Parnell (1846-1891) was a prominent Irish nationalist politician and leader of the Irish Parliamentary Party. He is best known for his advocacy of Irish home rule and his role in securing the passage of several important pieces of legislation, including the Land Act of 1881 and the Local Government Act of 1898. Despite his achievements, Parnell's political career was marred by scandal and controversy, most notably his involvement in the Parnell Commission scandal, which led to his resignation as leader of the Irish Parliamentary Party in 1890.
