CAPTAIN WYNNE.

Lord BROUGHAM enquired whether Capt. Wynne 's
answer had been received.

The Marquis of CLAN RICARDE replied in the negative.
PUBLIC WORKS (IRELAND).
Lord BROUGHAM called the attention or the govern-
ment to a statement, that two sons of a clergyman in Sligo,
who was an Irish proprietor, had been placed on the public
works u inspectors, at a salary of two guineas each per
week, in a district in which only 'even labourers were being
employed on such works.
The Marquis of CLANRICARDE admitted that a case
of that nature ought to be enquired into, but saw no reason
why Irish proprietors should not be employed as inspectors
if they were qualified to (limber,* the duties of the office.
DRAINAGE IN IRELAND.

The Marquii of LONDONDERRY drew the attention of
the government to the sweatily which existed for on enact-
went enabling tenants for Hie in Ireland to obtain loans
under the Drainage Act in the same way no they are ob-
tained by owners in fee. He thought the London companies
who prinessal land in Ireland should be called upon to aid
' the tenants in procuring the necessary advances.
Lord BROL 011 AM Paid that looking at the position in
which the companies in question stood, he could see no
ground for making a distinction between them and other
landowners ; and he had no doubt that if the seta were ex-
amined it would be found that they furnished the necessary
powers for proceeding against them.
The Marquis of LONDONDERRY asked whether his
noble friend (Lord Brougham) would guarantee him ?
ildevit he undertake that if he borrowed money the com-
pany would be answerable to him ?
Lord BROUGHAM—We give our opinions, but we never
guarantee. (Laughter.)
The Marquis of CLANRICARDE said that the woe was
already met by a provision that the money borrowed should
be repaid out of the land.
Their lordships adjourned et a quarter to 6.
