ORDNANCE SURVEY (IRELAND).
Mr. E. DENISON, to reference to a return for which he
had on a previous occasion moved, remarked that the origi-
nal estimate for tke content survey of Ireland was stated to
be 30,0001. now it app .arced it would require upwards of
120,0001. to complete the work. He wished to know who
they any additional rtference bad I con made to the Treasury
on the subject ?
Col. ANSON replied that no additional reference had
been made to the Treasury in consequence of this iecresse,
nor did it appear to him Necessary, as 0.0001. was annually
voted t t be expended by the Board of Ordnance in the most
efficient manner. Thc original estimate referred to by Owl
hon. spnlltman was merely a rough guess without data. On
making i-quiry it w.. 1, round the cost would be 121,0001.
Mr. DENISON hoped the attention of the committee on
the ordnance estimate- would be directed to the subject.

opinion expressed by Col .tostn as to the necessity of a
