Loa STattnlrre, brought forward a Bill, an Thursday, in the Ilmase of Lords, for tl.e express purpose of re4ving il;at important class of the community of the sufferings which they endure under the existing laws respectitig i landed prorrty, which, as' his loprOship justly re- , _marked, were, in point of injnsticq,:to • .130,1qmilied by nothing but the horrors of the Slave-trqt,!; in point of humanity superior .to. it ;,awl, lti : point of, impolicy as regarding Ireland, greater than;the Steve n ! trade pith respect to Africa. • It is not kiwi:). in.l England, and will, indeed, scarcely appear credible, that In Ireland there exists a set of middle-m en, or ... drivers, between the tenant wino really cultivates the roil and the proprietor, who have it in their power to distrain for all their respective rents upon the same farm. As an illustration of this statement, Lord STANIIOPE put the following:—" By k he would rpresent the head-landlord ; by B, C, and 1), the first, second, and third middle-man ; and by E, twenty occupying tenants. Suppose then a. case, in which A let the land to 11. for 901. per annum; 'p to C for 7501.; , -C to D f0r,t1501.; mod D to E, being . twenty .occupying tenants, for 9.101. per annuM. , Utt der the existing law, all these occupying tenants were liable to distress for all these rents, though the land was originally let for 001."—The ruin and dis- . tress which it is thus in the power of these:middle% men to produce is incalculable.. An occupying te nant may be made to pay almost all the lanckis worth, and yet another perton may Como upon him for an-1 other rent, due before that which he had contracted totpay. In the course of the debate, the Noble Earl, who brought forward the Bill, candidly stated that the subject bad not originated with himself, but had been suggested by a learned young gentleman in the profession of the law, Counsellor O'DEDY, who had produced if very excellent pamphlet upon the I subject. We have ourselves perused this publication,' mid to show that the author has no interested motives In view, by coming before the . Public, we give the following statement of his motives from his own in troduction :—" It is the author's intention to have a considerable number of this publication circulated at his own expence, and the remainder sold . at the first cost of paper and printing; disdaining to make pro fit of what he means as a grateful acknowledgment to the Coustitation of England, -and the only tribute now in liisaiower to give the land of his nativity."— The pamphlet is, indeed, a most interesting and va luable work, IA clearly demonstrates that the state Of t'm wretched pea:wary, and not that of the titled and affluent Roman Catholic, is the real and fainda - - suntat Irish question., which involves the deepest in terest generally, as well as the main and etcient terce and tranquillity of treland. After questioning the impolicy of ,allowing every derivative lessee -whole derlets, the power of distraining and of levying . dis 7 *Swig, . Mr. irDrnx ,proceeds to state the conse quences which dew f..onv this in an eloquent-and im pressive manner:—Letlis meet him or his agent, says this - gentlenian, on the demised premises when the reserved rent becomes due, and then let us mark his career under lawful authority. On such an occasion ; it is . impossible to convey any adequate or distinct idea, to one who has never witnessed the scene of the succes- sive emotions of anxiety, alarm, despondency, tur bulence, and revenge, which pervade the minds, and rise in legible characters uu the changing counte •ttantes of husband, wife, relations, and friends, who usually attend to await the issue. Whilst some of the drire►s' are chasing the poor man's cows, sheep, and swine, from field to field, with hurrying vengeance, others are employed in loosing the horses perhaps from the harness of the plough, or the usual labours of the particular season, whilst the lettered among the gang are taking an inventory—easy task! of the little household goods with which the sooty hut is furnished - .

Ravi said, to Why, My Lord, we had a-most competent judge, the landlord, before us, who described it as a comfortable dinner, where a roasted goose displayed herself smoaking under the nose at one end or the table, mid as much good wine as a man could conveniently 'carry away with him." .Concerning the law of the case, he would argue that it was not an unlawful wager;' for it appeared in the case of Pope awl Sankin, in Sar !fiche s Reports, that Judge Holt called it. a porter, to determine what constituted •an intlawftd move in the game of Backgammon ; nor had any doubt arisen whether such a bet, by being on a game for money, was legal .or not. Nr.tv be would leave it to the' Court to de termine whether, that partaking of a good dinner was an immoral, or illegal thing; and he called upon I his Learned Opponent to cite hint a case which would impeach the transaction. • 'rhe LORD CHIEF JUSTICE said, he ought not to have tried such a ridiculous wager; but it was need ;less to repine, here it stood before him. i Mr. Serjeant VAUCRIAN, in support of the applica tion,. said, that the very name of " Rump and • 1 Dozen" smacked•of immorality. here an assembly i of eight hungry persons determined to make tiriekett maintain them for one day, in which they dr ank no !less than . 15 bottles of wine. The bet, be would maintain, was illegal, because it was indefinite, and even the landlord himself could describe the " Rump 1 and Dozen" as only a feast, where so much meat end 1 . wine was partaken of, as they could conveniently carry assay. :Now, how was it possible to page the belly, to discover what lead it could carry away ?. By being a provOralion, to gluttooy and drunkenness, the bet was immoral • and *sides there appeared three shillings in the bill for anchovy toast, to pro voke . thirst, so that drunkenness might fellow.-- Every person who knew Crickett, would describe him as a gentleman who had furnished too many uts. necessary " Rumps and Dozens" to people, but who felt himself in nowise disposed to pay for the "neat. and merriment of other men, who had • run him into high expences during hil absence from Lotidong— The case of a game of Hazard was thrown out of the , Court by Lord Loughborough, and the reason why the ease of the move in the ganie of Backgammon Iwas entertained in the Court, was, because it-was Iti Wager made upon a lawful game. Upon the whole, therefore, he would assert, that the case could .not be moittiniued,and that the verdict should beennulled. i •Tbetieeat CHIEF JUSTICE, its giving judgment . upon the case, declared Veiled received no ittforma. : 1 tiotalfean . either - of •his Learned Brothers; wha t a 1" Rump Mel Dozeit" Ives, thotith one °of them seem ed. perfectly ,lq, ainderstaud it, . lie blamed himself much for allowing • such a tionsdesical wager, to -be tried, though he was afraitbit would be infpinctitable .to prevent the decisicm of the -Courts.oa shriller oc casiosisittletermm,itttihnegyr these sported frivolousliih from being applied to this.
