house.
DRAINAGE (IRELAND) BILL.
The consideration of this bill in committee was thee re-
sumed.
On clause 14,
Mr. M. O'FEERALL mid he thought the measure would
be a mischievous one.
Colossi DICKSON said the bill had been introduced after
much aocairlaration, each of its clauses having been fully
inquired into by a select committee. The great object of
she measure was to enable Irish proprietors to diem their
estates at their own expense, and without that amount of
control imposed on them by former bills.
Mr. SCULLY opposed the bill as a compulsory measure
which would enable commissioners of drainage to take the
loads of a proprietor, and run drains through it, against his
will and at his expense.
Colonel FRENCH denied that the bill was compulsory.
On the contrary, it was permissive. Nothing could be dons
under it in any district uatil a large majority of the
propeu-
toes had called on the Board of Works to form a drainage
district.
The clause was then agreed to.
On clause 15,
Mr. SCULLY renewed his opposition to the bill. which
was also opposed by Mr. Bagwell and Mr. More O'Farrell,
and supported by Lord Naas, who complained that no
