arose from the oppressive coodnct of the tepid
of the Courtenay estates. The people of that

ferocious spirit than those of Guy other part of Ire-

In 1797, in reference to the doturbgd stet; of Ire-
land-, Lord Clare:mid, " Ise•did not believe there
was in the world so miserable a peasantry as that of
Ireland." He (Mr. C. Grapt) did believe that no
pert of Europe, except Poland, could watch the
condition of the ponsantry.of Ireland. In England
the landed proptiethe builds.cottegti for hie tenan-
try and labourers, end encourages them in their
comforts; but in Ireland nothing of that sort is
known; and he would suggest it of a matter well
wort ity the contisieraike ot. the Gentlemen of Ireland,
whether it 'mold not be worth their white to adopt
the practice which prevailed in England in that re-
spect. The chief topics of complaint in Ireland were
rents, tithes, and taxes. His.fttgill [lon. Friend bed
alluded to the subject of taxes ; but he would beg
to remind hint. shut when taxes were spoken of in
Ireland es a grievance, it was not the taxes irovsed
by Government that were meant, het the local aseeepsseols
by the Greed Juries, whieb were oft,' most oppressive in
their•eperaticin. In the county of Cock the acreabh tee,
whiektbirty yeses ago did not exceed six shillings a. sere,
roar, in the course of the war to 20/, and had store fallen to
IS!. per acre. With respect to the tithes, he thought the com-
plaints on that subject much exaggerated; hut he was still sen-
sible that the system aloud much in need of amelioration.
The tutercats of the (berth itself rendered same alteralloe
desirable; for what could be more fatal to the progress of
the Protestant religion thee 'tech a owe of thiota as in-

a/einem., bet that the mode of collecting them was vexa-
tions to the highest degree? He did out blame the clergy, as
tong al the titbes remaised upon their present roOting, for
the employment of other prevails to collect them, or for
farming them ; but sonic beset mode sbunlil be provided.
The huirissing nature of the present system might easily
be tethered from this short outline of the coulee porsord.
