PA I tLIANANT:IIIY PAVER. IRELAND. - REPORT' from the 'SELECT COMMITTEE on the SURVEY and VALUATION of IRELAND.:— . In .considering the subject referred to them , your Committee have not fel t th enuely es called upon to enter into, a prolonged exami na ti on of witnesset to prove the necessity of ir ,, new Survey and Valuation of Ireland. Such a measure has • been recommended by- former Committees, and in expediency admitted by the House. It has formed the subject of various petitions to Parliament, and has been looked to bp the people of Ireland as a remedy for the inequalitiet, of the present mode of apportioning the taxation levied under the authofity of Grande Attlee and Vestries. The ,eeee t ueney, of proceeding in this great national work, is apparent friten a consideration. of the , sums annually levied under the rresenenent Laws. By returns laid on the table of the. House during the present Seeslon, tit ap. pears that the amount of the f;litead Jury, taxes imposed in the last year has exceeded 7 50 , 0 014 e -The Obscurity And want of mile formtty of the general syttemeie ?well to the inequality inciden tal to the mode of apportioning these local taxes, have - been ad.. mitted by the Parliement of Ireland at remote periode. Nome parts of Ireland the assessment is made by the ,civil divl siou of plonglilands, varying in size and value, but rated at an .equal sum. In other cases, a division by townlandi his beers 'established, etch townland contributing according to its as. stinted' area, which bean no defined proportion to let actual contents. Uneeves, tannins, trues; and other sub.denomina. dens of land, are recognized in other pens of Ireland; but how. ever the names may vary, the evil seems universally' the same ; and the inequality complained of in the.middle of the last century by Sir William Petty, contisues, without correction, to•tliepresent times. This subject has frequently occupied the attention of the Legislature. A Select Committee, in tilt year 1815,.after a minute investigation, reported, " that some mode should be taken to renderdrand Jury Assessments more equal by correcting the defect* arising from apportioning the county rate according to old surveys, calculated on the measure of land formerly deemed profitable, and not eempreliending tire great improvements which have subsequently taken place." Extracts ream the evidence taken before the Select Committee of 1815; will be found in the Appendix to the-present Report. In the folloW. ing year a second Report was presented to the House, stating, " that the various modes of 'levying the Orand Jury Present. merits, from the inequality of their pressure, Arising out of. the distant periods - of time, and unsettled state of the country where such arrangements were made, require immediate and com plete alteration." In 1819, a Bill was •Introduced to provide i fer the Survey and Valuation of Ireland;. but the measure was not persevered in. During the present Smeden, a vote of 5,000/. ,was agreed to, for the. purpoie of , a Trigonometrical' Survey, and the House resolved, "That it is expedient, for the purpose of apportioning; more equally the• lord burthens of Ireland, to rovtde for a general 'survey and valuation of that part of the United Kingdom." The utility of the proposed measure, as well as the necessity of its itnmetliate commencement, appear, on a review of the Records of Parliament, to be established beyond the possibility of doubt. the proceedings taken, both in the 13titieh .empire and in fo. our Committee have considered it important to inquire into reign countries, in the execntion of territorial surveys and vs- • to supply useful i l n u t a Q t r io n n m s ti such an A t n he in s g a u b j is ec y t a re ppe re a rr ri et n i g to li t k h e o l lt y ,by. the llouse.— One of the earliest es well as the most minute of, the surveys, is•thet ttanstnitted to us under the name of the Domesday Book. This ancient reeorti e like the other earliest surveys, was not Laid down as a mep on paper, but as rattaluente hr terrier of property. This inquest, properly called " the most itnportent titteheial operation"'of that period; V7O. intended to.convey a sttOeYof every: hide attend in the KingtiOnt.• CoMmiseioners were sent down into the emet i cs , with , euthority to impannel is joy in cart hundred, !Sulu wheez poetenernents and verdicts the necessary information 'might be obtained.

The extraor dinary precielonotod minute details of. this ancient work have scarcely been surpassed in modein times; and the mode in which it was effected appears to your Committee not wholly in. aeplieeble to the intended survey of Ireland: • * The survey of forfeited lands, made under the authority of Lord Strafford, its Ireland, is considered to have been este-- vetted in like manner as a terrier, thotigh aceompanied by dirt.

These sub.deitominations, which may be g , :nerally expaasaby the word townland;'.are' the ancient and rnog mcountry.;zed divisions of the Alley: form the basis of tl , e. Down survey ; they have been l ong used in the Apportionment and collection of ,coonty sand parochial rates. The cotinty surveys executed iu,all cases, except two, are admitted to 6,, useless as'a basis for taxation, beeausethe boundaries antlnrea of the tovmlandshave been omitted ; and in the latest county survey contemplated, , the Grand Jury acted Upon a conviction that a survey by townland was indispensable:. It itv obvious, that if a Baronial or oven a parochial subdiVision werealone to be effected, sufficient data Would not. be furniThed for the , ap portionmentuf the loud taxes{ and . . if, on the other hated, a. survey by fields were to be undertaken, as in France: aid Ravi.' ria, the expellee of such a work wonid be augmented, and Its completion postponed.' A survey by - toinlands appear to your Committee to he the rational ll:tedium between these two ex tremes; sufficiently close for practical purposes, without shit ing at any extreme minuteness of detail. Your Committee have closely examined this itnportant branch of the subject, and after baying placed upon their Minutes the evidence of those who, from local knowledge and professional experience. were qualified to form an opinion, they feel it their' ditty to exl. press their decided conviction, that a survey which did not in clude the boundaries and contents of tewolands, would be in antlicient for the purposes of valuation. Your Committee are of opinion, that, could the counties of Ireland be furnished with a map as perfect in its execution and as accurate in its de tails as the Ordnance Survey of Great Britain, it would not an swer for the purposes of the Grand Ju r y taxat i on , unities a mi.. nute subdivision, namely, that of thcfaeparate Townlancia, were superadded to the boundaries of counties and of parishes. our Committee conceive, that the difficulty of tracing and of surveying these boundaries of Townlands is notOO consider. able as might at first be apprehended. They have learned with satisfaction from Major Colby, that " the additional time it would require would not be very'con siderable, provided the boundaries were set out." Mr. Griffith considers "that there would not be any great difficulty in ascertaining the boundary of the townlancis." Mr. Bald la of the same opinion. -Mr. Edgeworth states, that it would not have added material!y to the expellee of the survey of Roscent coon, executed by him and Mr. Griffith, if he had laid flown these subdivisions; and Mr, After, whose survey of Kilkenny actually includes the boundaries of tovrnlands, has informid your Committee " that these boundaries are less difficult to trace than those of parishes." Had the result of their inireiti gad= been different, and had the tensible delays and diffi culties connected with the representation of' these subdivisions appeared greater than they really are,. your Committee would not have ,felt themselves at liberty to abandon a principle es- sentially. necessary for the success of' the measure to which their attention has been directed. It has given your Committee great satisfaction to think that the direction of the Survey can be undertaken by the Board of Ordnance ; they cannot conceive any other authority so well calculated to ensure the , scientific accuracy and unity of prin. ciple which ought to distinguish a great National work. The high character of the officer who conducts the Trigonometrical , Survey of England, the advantages derivable from military organization, and the command'Of the hest instruments, afford a sufficient security for the successful completion of the work.: Your Chmussittee feel a perfect txtrifidence that the Map, about to be furniska, will comprehend the lecalsubdieisions; without which . it would notanswer the peculiar pnrpoßA of ialuation. Were the boundaries of 'rownlands to be omitted, the counties would be obliged to supply the' deficiency by independent efforts ; and the experience of the past, with the state of ton many of the existing local surveys, sufficiently prove, that it would be in vain 'to expect, through the medium of the Grand Juries, weir sepiolite maps as cou:ldthbee increased, c e o i e expense compared anti ndsduachenoui double nibfeirniei,dr ( f ) ° p r er a a n tTo . ii 4ei would 'il n ul l :b al e . considerably Pt e work would be produced at a sacrifice?! time, cueveuience and ecn Your Committee fully agree in the opinion of Major Colby, that steps should be taken without delay ta ' facilitate the rt.*: 1 cing orthe Townland boundaries, a measure which that officer conceives would reduce, by one half,' the tiMeCequired for this particular branch 'of the survey;' With this view- your .Coin niittee have already instructed, their Citainetur to bring .in a Bill; winch they trust may pass into a law during the present semi", re . rminng the several 'Grand Juries' o earry into effect 01 )3e I :01 tscr,tfini3vli this i :5130h e Yt theint sue that the 0r d . the provisions. of die iipth-Gep..3, so. far. as respects the tables of TOwnlauils and their acreable contents. They also conceive that every othia: aid and faCtlity shotild be 'afforded to the offi cers of the Ordnance, both by placing , at their!divpottal an 'en.. larged supply of unproved . instruments, and bygiying them a' free access to all the existing, Public maps . and records which bear upon the subject. The Down' Survey, that of the For feited Lands, the county and baronial maps, however imperfect in themselves, maybe of some service. When the objects with: which the intended Survey is 'undertaken are' understood," your Voinmittee arc convinced that not only will all the local matt°. Thies in . Ireland afford their zealous co-operation, but that , notnyprivate individuals will, on public grouuds, allow access to such maps and other documents as can be of service in tracing the boundaries. . . . In the Survey of Roscoinmon, ,the bishops and clergy af forded every facility in settling, parochial boundaries.; your. Committee trust, that such aid will in the present instance be police through renewed, and assisted by the magistrates and the out Ireland. They are happy to learn, front the evidence, that so far from there being any reason to apprehend obstructions on the part of the peasantry, a reliance may be placed on their good will and co-operation. It is, however, important that the nature and object of the proposed work should be thereby. explained and understood; when that explanation is given,. there'can be no doubt but that the proprietors and occupiers of hind in Ireland, . will feel that ,the completion of the Survey and valuation is litqly to conduce to the general.good, anti add to the value of property. , , Whilst ~,,,:i:i ti: l;htinoiiv e ,engst uglixued:t,titailru individuals u %inirottatecdtnii:yi .i ....t. )ion of the Survey cannot be placed in better hands than in these'of the Ordnance officers, they cannot but add, diet it is ri rirub,w e i trs x yhtho re sn ri oi,%ft e cusit..t d eig,,hil i tii, e e:7l ; isno, t t ota to,ll,coic t rts o ci;e dvittieeisgtotriairricrnie occurred interruption u(ii i tiTtilu i ii i i,inge t tp i ithie c lwe: : l ei yd t ,oaew,nis i n f ect siivrir ildl. y e eenu a dgro t e l.iontias ntanrehno.bitiidhntet already,it liiesiiltolettsawetpflociairrrese.i:ttrrtlo - accelerate completion.

'A limited number bf persons eniployed, appears a questionable policy on the- principles of economy, as the di. reefing staff must be maintained nu luau for . the controul . of , a limited, than for the guidance of a more extended operation.. It is satisfactory to yohr Committee to rePtirt, that the former Sur= veys carried on. under Parliamentary authority, have established in Ireland a school of scientific topography. Whether it may he expedient that any of the respectable civil engineers of Ire land should be employetl, , underthe authority of )the Ordnance, it is altogether. for .that Board, in its discretion, to determine; but your Conunittoe,pctfeetly agree with .111.kjer Colby,, that a central and'effectualventroul is indispentible to the successful termination of this undertaking.
