DUBLIN.
It was my object in my last letter to show
the well working of the Encumbered Estates Act.
I propose to show in the present communication some
of the difficulties that of necessity attend it. It is
important that these should be known and appreciated,
especially by those who are intending to invest pro-
petty in the speculation of an Irish estate.
In baying, then, an estate is Ireland, it is necessary
not only to look to its possible tutors but to the cm-
cumatanoes of the past and present. The intending 11
buyer must inquire what has been the past nature of
the holdings on the estate, and how far its tenantry
have been a comfortably-cironmatanced and contented
pvulation. lie must also look around him. In
Ragland a proprietor is so independently placed that
he has very little occasion to regard in any
way the position or the circumstances of adjacent
properties. Bat in Ireland things are different.
Here ell the test efforts of a proprietor may be en-
tirely neutralized by the circumstances of properties
surrounding him. The next estate may hare for ita
owner an hereditary and habitual absentee, whose
estates are managed by a bailiff, and Whose tenantry
have long been oppressed and diseatiefied. Or he
may bare a property in Chancery, an official receiver
collecting its rain', careless of almost every thing
connected with the property, except the state of
its ace mat. Instead of either of these he

may have a neighbour offering a speci-
men of a third class of landlord—a proprietor
whose absence would be preferable to his presence,
who lives on his estate, not to protect and assist his
tenantry, but because it is the only place in the wide
world where he can obtain sufficient credit to subsist
—a man who brings landlordism into disrepute, and
who will throw impssdiments in the way of working
out the best plans of others, simply because he him-
self has not the opportunity of following the good
example.
In selecting an estate it is highly necessary that
the condition of the adjacent properties should be con-
sidered by the purchaser because, as I observed be-
fore, the utmost efforts he can make will by no possi-
bility enable him to counteract the bad effects which
from any of theee causes will react upon bias. If.
And the matter is the more important b clues the
Encumbered Estates Commission are unable to affsrd
protection to the proprietor from the operation
and effect of these disadvantageous circumstance s
A purchaser may go into an estate with the fullest
disposition and even with a determination to do his
duty by the people over whom he is about to assume
the duties of a landlord, bat, by reason of the mel-
admiristration of some estate adjacent to him he may
find all his goad intentions frustrated. "I will en-
deavour," says the new proprietor, "to keep my
people from the workhouse, by affording them em-
ployment at a proper rate of wages." But his next
neighbour is unable to pay wages, and cares nothing
about how many of his people are obliged to
seek the shelter of the union. What is the con-
sequence? The owner who affords employment is
called upon to pay an increased amount of poor's rate
in order to maintain the people, not of his own pro-
perty, but of the estate of the adjacent proprietor,
with whom he has no relations of any sort whatever.
By the best judges it is not believed in Ireland that
permanently the amount of poor's rate will affect the
position of estates. The cases in which such things
as these occur are cases in which the proprietors being
embarrassed, it follows that sooner or later their pro-
pertiea must come into the market, when the evil, it
is to be hoped, will be cured. The Clifden (Galway)
property, which was sold the other day, is a case so
much in point, that I may be excused referring to it.
This property is bounded upon one side by the great
Martin estate, and on the other by the property of a
Mr. O'Neill, which is about, at so very distant period,
to be submitted to pub!ic competition, like the others.
The purchasers of the Clifden property are quite aware
that the difficulty of their position is remarkably in-
creased by the position of the Martin and O'Neill
estates, but they anticipate a great improvement
whenever those estates are sold, and new landlords
step in able and willing to take their share of the re-
sponsibility.
But whatever may be the future results, there can
be very little doubt that the prices of many estates
have been affected, not by their own position,
but by the public whisper as to the state of the pro-
perties around them. And if this be so, it would
seem fair to the outgoing proprietor, to the :creditors,
and to the public, that the commissioners should have

some power of aiding estates which may be thus un-
fortunately circumstanced. Tee diminution of the size
of the electoral union would probably have some
beneficial effect; a good proprietor will no longer be
called upon, u he hes been, to pay for the keep of a
neglected tenantry, living twenty or twenty-five miles
off. As a proprietor settles himself, moreover, he
will come to take his share in the proceedings of
boards of guardians, and to snake an effort for his own
protection. But, tholes', it will be obvious that
the estates which are first sold will suffer the most
I from this cause, whilst those which are brought into
the market latest, and which may belong to the pro-
' pristors who have most neglected the poor, will reap
the advantage of the alteration for the better which
the settlement of a new and solvent proprietary will
assuredly produce. Under such circumstances it would
really seem rational and reasonable that the Encum-
bered Estates Commissioners should have some power
of protecting the new land-owners from this sort of
liability.
At present the commissioners are not only entirely
powerless in this particular, bet they are powerless to
protect an in-coming proprietor against wrongs to
be indicted on his own tenantry. A capitalist pur-
chases an estate; he is anxious, as every nght-feeling
man will be, to go on with the tenantry whom he
finds in ocoapation of the soil ; he makes his proposals
to them, and those proposals are accepted. But under
the old landlord, and during the period, possibly, of
the famine, the tenants bad fallen into aurae; as
long as the original proprietor or the Chancery re-
ceivers was obteiniag any rent from them, this arrow
was not pressed for; now Hut the connexion between
that proprietor and receiver and the tenantry is for
ever broken, the former has no longer any motive for
foregoing hie claim, and he accordingly commences
ins against the tenants, individually and col-
Tirol:4lly, for sums which they are quite unable to pay,
and which they did not expect to be demanded.
What is the oonsequenoe to the new purchaser?
Upon going to his estate he finds the Wintry in •
worse position than they ever were at any former
period of their lives; devoid of the means of paying
rent to him, and so crushed by the injustice peeps-
tested towards them, as to be little iuolioed to enter
zealously on the new career which opens to them.
In some oases the new proprietor, even though most
liberal in all his off/we, finds himself scowled upon as
if he were the mare of the evils which suddenly have
fallen upon the tenants. What means has be of
escaping from the ditfloalty P None, save the extreme
one of paying the arrears oat of his own pooket—a
proceeatag which no on, has a right to aspect from
