.EVIC fED ESTITUTE POOR (IRELAND) BL.
The Marquis of CLANRICARDE, in moving the It
hiLrd
reading of this bill, nsked their lordships to reject the
amendments mule in the committee, and to restore the bill
to it, original shape. The amendments entirely altered the
character of the bill, and destroyed its efficiency. The first
amendment wax, that notice should be given to the clerk of
the board of guardians, instead of the relieving officer. He
must maintain that the original provision in this respect was
much batter than the amendment. The second amendment
was one which would dimini,h the value of the measure and
alter its character. It was to tho effect that provision should
only bo made for tho contingi nor when it occurred, in-
stead of anticipating it, as originally provided ior by the
bill. Twelve hours' notice of an intended eviction would
not be sufficient to 'recurs the unfortunate persona to be
turned ou' of possession from the consequences of so midden
an set, whilst seven days, ns at first proposed, might be long
enough to allow of relief being properly administered. If
their lordship, by retaining the amendments, thus muti-
lated and emasculated the bill, it would produce a most un-
favourable effect in Ireland. The noble marquis concluded
by moving that the amendments made is the first line of the
second clause he struck out.
Lord MONTEAGLE supported the amendments, and
contended that they would cause the relief to be more o ,era-
titre and eti;cient.
The Earl of ST. GERMANS dad not see the utility of
the bill. lie objet ed both to the bill in its original state,
and also to the amendments. There was no provision in the
bill fort wing notice of the number of persons to be evicted;
and the: seven days' notice of eviction would only be calcu-
lated to excite a tory feelirgs against the landlord, and give
time for some opposition to be offered to the process whe.i it
was put in execution. It appeared to him that it was more
desirable that the notice should be served on the relieving
officer than the clerk of the board of guardians, b-cause the
former would be in the locality of the unfortunate persons to
be turned out; and he might be ordered by the poor-law
commissioners, up 48 hours' notice being riven to them,
to repair to the spot and ascertain the number of persons
likely to he rendered destitute by the execution of the pro-
cess. He should therefore move, as an amendment, that the
notice should be given to the relieving officer instead of the
clerk of the board of guardians, end that it should be 48
hours instead of seven days.
The Duke of LEINSTER supported the amendments.
The Marquis of CLANRICARDE thought 48 hours'
would be rather too short a notice; but if sufficient notice
was given to allow of the persons to be evicted being pro-
vided for, he did not wish to adhere pertinaciously to his
opinion as to the seven days. He had, therefore, no objec-
tion to consent to the period being 48 hour.; and he would
also agree to the notice being given to tke relieving officer,
instead of the board of guardians.
After a few words from Lord MONTEAGLE their lordships
divided, when the numbers were—
For the motion 47
Against it
The bill war then read a third time and pasted
CERTIFICATES FOR KILLING HARES (SCOT-
LAND) BILL.
The house went into committee on this bill.
Clauses 1, 1 and 3, were agreed to.
Lord REDESDALE moved a clause to limit the authority
from the owners or occupiers of land to kill hares to one per-
son only.
The buke of lideitmoNO opposed the clause.
The house divided—For the clause 36
Against it 23 —l3
The clause was then inserted,
On clause 4 being proposed,
The Earl of CARDIGAN moved an amendment, to pre-
vent the oecupitr of laud from laying ot snares or wires for
the killing of hares.
The Duke of RICHMOND opposed the amendment, on
the ground that ii would have the effect of preventing the
small occupier from preserving his crop. For his part, he
would give the farmer the power of killing pheasants and
other game, whice he thorught would have the effect of pre-
serving game more effectually than if a whole army of game-
keepers were employed. (Hear, hear.)
The Earl of Yentionocon and Earl GREY also opposed
the amendment.
The house divided—For the amendment 2O
Against it
The clause was then agreed to, as were those which fol-
lowed.
On the question that the preamble be agreed to,
The Earl of MALMESBURY objected to certain words.
A short conversation casual, but a division not being insisted
ow, the preamble was agreed to, and the house resumed.
