DESTITUTION IN DONEGAL.

Mr. BAG*111:;o;etonto velor7s—s-eleTtZoorusittas to In-
quire into the destitution existing in the county of Donegal.
He mid that the northern part of that ey was a wild
mountainous district with large tracts of barren smiths
people were living in astate of wild poverty. A short damage
the nation wasstartled from its propriety by a statement which
appeared in the newspapers, signed by ten of the Roman
catholic clergy, in reply o which a resolution was drawn up
by a board of iruardians. The government seat down an in-
spector (Mr. Hamilton) to investigate the matter, and the
report of that gentleman arm so much at variance with that
of the clergymen, that if the case rested on that alone a
further inquiry was in order that the blame might '
rest on the parties who were halt. (Hera.) The taxation
that bad been imposed on the district was most frightful. In
one part the police tax amounted to 4901. 40. Ild., and the
sheep tax to 8641. Us. Id., staking a total of 1,3641. 17s. od.,
being considerably over the property valuation. The total
valuation of the district was 2,0801. 1 ls. ikt., whilst the taxes
mimed amounted to 2,0001.165. 4d. The payment of these
taxes proved that the people did not wish to evade the law,
but had paid them to the utmost. In consequence of the
address honed by the clergymen to whom he had alluded, a
committee was formed in London for the purpose of rbb
subscriptions, and similar committees were formed inaJ
ferent parts of Ireland. The contributors included many
landed proprietors who had made inquiries into the matter,
and amongst them he might mention Mr. Sharman Crawford,
who stated his belief that the complaints which bad been
made were well founded. He thought it due to the cha-
ritable individuals who had contributed to the relief of these
poor people that some means should be devised for ascertain-
ing the truth of the statements which had been put forward,
and trusted the house would agree to the appointment of a
committee for that purpose. He demanded this in the name
of justice, In the name of humanity, and, above aq, in the
acme of the Irish landlords, many of whom believed that
property had Its duties as well as its rights. (Hear, hear.)
Mr. M'MAHON seconded the motion.

Sir E. HAYES would venture to my that the statement
mode by the priest; was entirely without foundation ; and
that Wig the means of ascertaining the facts, they moat
have known that statement to be untrue. (Hear, hear.)
Mr. MACARTNEY fancied the hon. member for Clou-
ted Mr. Bagwell) had not visited the district, and behoved,
if ha bed done so, that be would not have felt justified in
iamb( Ist a committee. The testimony before committees
wee teed mtiefactory, for it was not taken an oath. Now
the estemimisere bad examined the wit:mese en oath, sad
be *oughtY monstrous that the statement of ten gentlemen
mite MI ad hem so examined should be set up against Mr.
Htundlemee revert. (Hem.)
Mr. P. O'BRIEN, feeling that the inquiry was imam-
pleb, would support the motion for a committee.
Lard NAAS mid that there was great doubt of the truth
of the 'barges brought against the landlords. They bed, at
least, been much exaggerated. Many outrages had bent
committed in the country, which it was needihl to pundits.
Still he would commit to the appointment of the committee.
Mr. LEPROY opposed the motion, having satisfied him-
self that there wet no ground for the accusations brought
against the landlords.
Mr. MAGUIRE contended that a case had been made
out for a committee, that the coadicting statements might be
examined.

Hr. W HITESIDE inveighed spina any inquiry insti-
tuted opts false pretences. The house should be careful
be. it admitted the precedent of inquiring into the manage-
ment by en landlords of their wads.
It,. ROEBUCK and that the evil we in the nature of
and could not be remedied by a committee. They
torTll unlr do nothing, and would get only disappointment from

arr.l7 WHAIION supported the motion, hoping that it
would load to an eselmilation of the English and the Irish
law.

DRUMMOND mid that the affair was wade( but
an attempt at the part of the priests to cause dissen-
sion between landlord and tenant. He did not
believe om ward of this petition, and if witnesses were ex-
amined before a corom'ttee nobody could believe them
(Laughter
