POOR RELIEF (IRELAND) BILL.
The Earl of St. GERMANS wished to ask the noble
marquis (the President of tin Colwell), a question with
regard to the rating of tithes. At present the titheownere
had a right to make certain deductions, and the land-
owners had a right to deduct from the titheownen the
whole of the poundage rate; he wished to know whether
the titheownen would by this bill have any right to make
any reduction with respect to outgoings and what these re-
ductions would be ?
The Marquis of LANSDOWNE raid that he could not at
present answer the question, but the subject would receive
the fullest consideration before the bill would be allowed
to pus.
ARMY SERVICE BILL.
In reply to Lord STANLRT,
Earl GREY said that as it would be desirable to intro-
Zan some amendments into this bill, he would move th it it
be now committed proformi with that object and its tee sm-
mittal be ordered for a future day. The bill was then c
om-
milted pro
_forma accordingly; after which the house
resumed.
LAWS OF LANDLORD AND TENANT IN IRELAND.
The Marquis of WESTMEATH, according to notice,
moved a resolution declaring that the existing laws of land
lord and tenant in Ireland requind immediate revision and
amendment. He said that he had had 40 years' experience
of these laws in Ireland, and he was all that time under the
conviction that if they were allowed to remain in existence
in Ireland, and if there continued to he en increasing scarcity
of the potato crop in that country, that there would be die-
estrous consequences, for which the landlords would not be
answerable. Ho nand that to be his bsliefAllig,,El.B24l

his opinion was worthy aflame consideration. The interests
of the landlord and tenant were identical. when properly
considered; but by the exidine laws both interests were in-
riously affected. He should be moat anxious that .s

which it was necenary to go through to e=ti
tenant was such as should not exist in any civilised country.
He was anxious that the law of ejectment should be put es
the same footing in Ireland as in England. The noble and
learned lord on the woolsack had stated that an objectionable
tenant might be got rid of in six mouths. Such might be
the n tang in this country ; but in Ireland a Isodlord could not

who and what some of there people were unless he was
inspired. (Laughter.) When the proceedings had com-
menced, if any of these numerous pubes were put out of
the way or murdered, he must commence de novo, and, the
same notice being necemsry, the proceedings were throws

the landlord could not prJee • tenancy ; and he was thee
driven to the superior courts, even if the land to be simo-
vend was not more than a quarter of an acre. The noble
marquis cited several cases in which great dillicallise

a man entered on a farm in May, and his board, es the
