A discussion of a somewhat unusual character
took place in the House of Commons on Friday
evening, which was not without interest. It treated,
it is true, of what might be almost styled a per-
sonal matter, but it involved a question of great
importance to a large number of her Majesty's sub-
jects. The discussion arose upon the right of the
L avr Life Assurance Company to the tenure of some
extensive estates in Connemara which, it was con-
Waded, they held contrary to the stipulations of
the law, and which they managed with extreme
harshness. These accusations were indignantly re.
yelled on the part of the company, and the matter
remains in dispute, since, after a prolonged debate,
the subject was allowed to drop. Mr. LoNGFIELD,
who introduced it, was anxious to compel the Com-
pany to sell the estates, and moved an address to
the Crown with that view, but it was scarcely pro-
bable that the House would proceed to extremities
without farther and more precise evidence than any
then brought forward. Perhaps, indeed, it was not
intended that they should go to such lengths, and
the gentlemen who brought the matter forward
were satisfied with having attracted the attention
of the House and the public. It is not easy for a
tribunal to judge unless the whole facts are before
them, and the members who spoke on the subject
dealt principally in assertion on both sides. Mr.
GREGORY indeed cited a return which he had ob-
tained from the Clerk of the Peace of Galway which
showed that, since the Law Life Society had ad-
ministered the affairs of this estate, there had been
3,158 rjectments; and Mr, LONGFIELD, in the course
of his speech, stoutly maintained that the misman-
agement of the society had been the means of
driving a large number of the former tenants on the
estate to ernigratiLin, forty-three families having left
the country in ten days. Bah these gentlemen
declared that they had evidence in support of their
assertions, and we can hardly suppose that they
would make such statements lightly, although pos-
sibly the Company may have it in their power to
exonerate themselves from all such charges. It is
only fair to state that Jr. MURRAY, one of their
honorary directors, decidedly and somewhat angrily
denied the accusations, and the cause of the society
was more temperately supported by the noble lord
the member for Mayo. Still an impression
remains that without any intention of acting un-
fairly, a body of lawyers have proved more acute
than liberal in their d.:alings with their tenantry,
while the holding a such large estates by a corpo•
