POOR LAWS WIELAND).
The Duke of LEINSTER presented a petition from the
mayor and citizens of Dublin, in favour of poor laws. The
Noble Duke, although he did not go the full length with the
petitioners, still thought that some system should be intro-
duced to relieve the destitute poor.
Lord M ALM SBURY supported the prayer of the petition,
and said a very strong feeling prevailed in England in favour
Poor Laws for Ireland.
The Marquis of DO WNSHIRE was of opinion that it
would be better to wait until they saw how the Poor Law
Amendment Act worked before they introduced any measure
on the subject of Poor Laws in Ireland.
Lord FITZGERALD said it was impossible for any one
who read the Report of the Poor Law Commissioners, not to
be convinced that some measure of poor laws must be intro-
troduced into Ireland. At the same time, they must also pro-
ceed with caution.
The Duke of RICHMOND was always of opinion that the
best mode of giving relief to the poor of Ireland was a poor-
law, and such a measure would keep them at home and make
them apply to acts of industry.
Earl WICKLOW said his Majesty's Government could not
be blamed for not having brought forward a measure on the
subject during the present Session ; it was a question of
great importance, and should be approached with caution.
The Marquis of CLANRICARDE said that Ireland, by
reducing the price of food, had conferred great benefit on the
manufacturers of England.
The Duke of RICHMOND admitted that the influx of
Irish labourers into this market, had the effect of reducing
the price of food.
The Marquis of L ANS DOIXNE said that it must not be
inferred that because Government had not brought forward a
hasty and ill-digested measure of poor laws, that therefore
they were opposed to the principle. He could assure
their Lordships that his Majesty's Government would
bestow on the question all the attention which its importance
demanded.

Earl \VINCHILSEA said that it would be impossible in
many Counties in England and Scotland to get in the harvest
without the assistance of Irish labourers.
IMPRISONMENT FOR DEBT.

The Marquis of BRISTOL presented a petition from the
prisoners confined in Whitecross-street prison, praying for the
Abolition of Imprisonment for Debt.
REGISTRATION OF ALIENS.

The Marquis of L AN SD 0 WNE moved the second reading
of this Bill.
The Bill was read a second time, and ordered to be com-
mitted on' Monday.
