Sir,—With reference to your letter of the 4th inst., 1 have the
honour to acquaint you, that whether the proceedings at presentment
seseintri ere conducted in accordance with the poor employment act,
or the Chief Secretary's letter, the responsibility of any electoral divi-
Son to support the destitute poor, resident therein, does not arise.
The persons to be employed upon the public works will be invariably
selected from the lists of destitute furnished by the various relief *um-
mitteti within the barony, without reference to their residence in any
eleetorat division. The expenditure bye proprietor of the amount
of his meesement on any work under his own direction cannot exempt
• him front the debility to discharge his portion of the ooze pre-
sented for worts to be executed under the control of the board
in his electotal division or barony, us the case may be, under the gene-
ral provisions of the act; but if the proceedings are conducted in the
manner prescribed by the Conunimioners of Public Works in their re-
cent instructions (copy of which is herewith enclosed), no difficulty
can ariee.—l have the honour Temper most obedient servant,
John Carden, Esq., Itarnanelem Tams. iteuLsoros.
70 T. li. 11GOINOTOW, aNO., ITIMILTAMCILETARY.
Sir,—l am in receipt of your cammwdeation, dated the 7th, and
regret to find, in as far as I can comprehend its purport, that in con-
sequence of the resent instructions of the Commissioners of Public
Works not having at that time issued, the barony of Ikerrin Le pre-
cluded from any advantages supposed to be derived from
the modifications introduced by the circular letter; although
the proceedings at the Roscrea semions, as I before ex-
wed,re materially in accordance with the course pre-
scribed in that letter, which (as it was then supposed to establish
the limited reeponeibility of electoral divisions) so completely met the
views d several gentlemen in attendance, that the business of the
meeting was commenced by a vote of thanks to the Lord Lieutenant
for the advantages supposed to be mattered. As It is not im probable
that for one reason or other an additional seance for Ikeri in barony
may soon be applied for, I beg to ask whether, if the proceedings ut
baronial cessions ore conducted according to the prescribed forms, an
electoral division will remain exempt from further taxation than the
portion of Its own allotment expended, whatever the necessitim of
other parts of the barony, as long as the works presented to the
value of its own assessment, and to be executed within it,
shall remain incomplete for want of hands to execute
them? I was quite aware that the public officer is not
positively restricted by the act in regard to the selection of
from the various lists of destitute for any works within the
=; but, es it is found practically impassible to induce labourers
to travel far for employment at this season of the year, such fair appor-
tionment of labour does, in fact, generally ariee, and it is quite clear
that your answer to the question I have now put roust involve a mate-
rial consequence, as determining whether or not the private expendi-
ture of individuals ran produce any, the slightest, effect on the taxa-
tion to be imposed upon their properties. It is certain that the indi-
rect attainment of seen an end could alone Induce a proprietor to ap-
ply for a portion of the assessment for the purpose of drainage.
The terms offered being moat disadvantageous, owing to the ex-
pense of the accompanying machinery and the total unfitness of the
gentlemen who have visited us in the cat Deity of officers
of the Board of Works to direct the operations of drainage, which
require close attention, skill, and patience, in the hands of unpraetised
labourers, I beg to inquire, therefore, whether the baronial sessions,
having proceeded according to the Mstructioos lately issued, an elec-
toral division remains exempt from all further taxation than the por-
tion expended of its own applotments, whatever may be the fate of the
rest of the barony, as long as labourers cannot be found to complete
the works presented for within it, owing to the private exertions of
resident proprietors am Mr, your obedient aervnnt,
Barmuie, Templemote, November 9. JOIIN CARDM
REPLY.

Dublin Castle, N0v.13.
Si ,-1 have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your letter
of the 9th inst.. and to state that my letter of the 7th inat. was in
reply to the inquiry—" Whether responsibility is ounfhwd to electoral
dihrialoris for the employment of the destitute poor resident within their
respective boundaries f' It was therein stated " that the pertains to be
=ed on the public works will be invariably ',elected front the
destitute furnished by the various relief committees within
Me barony, without reference to their residence in any electoral
division." With respect to the question now asked by you, if the
eresions proceed strictly, according to the instructions lately issued,
the amount of assessment will thereby be ascertained, sad the
diem ot the board ot worthyy employ any of the destitute poor
is the barony in corepletiag works. Should the relief district
not furnish a sufficiency of labourers, and that the wants of the
tewasy are supplied by the individual exertions of the proprietors,
there will then arise no necessity for eonveutng another minims.
Whether the ecesiona shall have presented in accordance with the act
of parliament, or the Chief Secretary's letter, each portion of the die.
triet in which it has been convened will have to bear its proportion of
the easerement, without any exemption whatever.—l have the honour
1 to be, Sir, your most obedient servant, T. N. Renisorox.
