Bth ..f al aft II lest? whether there were not upwards of 470,00
within the hens,: at that date? whether the deaths within
the house fur the 21 days endiur the =odor March did not
cact-ell 200 whether pauper., to the number of Ixtween
100 and 200, were nut iti the habit of seeking for relief
within the house upon the atlntionun slays? whether many
of ouch were not in a most destitute and nearly starving
Mate. and after having walked some 12 Irish mile. were
refused admittance whether any steps were taken to '
arfor,l them, so relayed, any aesistonce whatever? whether
the poor law commissioners arc aware of this state of

Sir W. SOMERVILLE said he would Rive as much in-
formation as he could in reply to the several out-mime. which
the 'too. gentleman haul placed on the paper, autl within
the limits that he thought he might to occupy uutlcr pet-
snt s tannest:men. (Rear, hear.) In answer to the Net
questian of the hon. gentleman, a. to whether the work-
house fur Kilroth Union hail accommodation fur 4,.161
inmates in March last, the information which the hon. gen-
tleman had received on that poiut was eurrcet. As to the
subsequent quo-stroll he had no precist, information which
he could give to the hon. gentleman. The commeasioners
had nut ben able to get any precise infonuotion respecting
them. As to the last question, which was the important
question, IL. to whether ti.. lour Law Commisaionem were
aware of this state of things, he had to state that of course
they were perfectly aware that this state of thiugs existed
in Kilrurll. The commissioners had constantly remon-
strated with the bawd of guardians on this state of things,
and they urged them in the tint place to provide additional
workhouse atcummodation ; 01111, failing that, to resort to a
11T-teen of out-door relief. A. early as the beginning

commisaioners procured assistanct: from the rate in aid
fluid for the purpose of providing additional infirmary ac-1
coonnudation, which was much required in that %untie.
The board of guardians did everything he believed in their
poser to procure additional workhouse accommodation,
which they found very didicult ; and they had yielded to
the sulk-dation. of the commissioners to adopt a ,y.wm of
out-door relief. which commensal in January, and un the
thol of March the number receiving relief was 2,626. and be
was happy to WA his hon friend that on the santetti,tt
22n41 of fillarch. the excess of numbers in the w
had been reduced to 214. lie was sorry to oboes,* WS
sanitary condition of the workhouse. Tho commissioners
had domr everything in their power to call the attention of
the guardians to this state of things. The inspector of
