Another, who had made his fortune in the wars,
made a provision in his will that his heir should
be entitled to receive his property clear, his
land by ejectment, and that if he did not
do so the property was to go to another, and if he
acted likewise to a third; and if he refused that it
should go to the public. (Hear, hear.) He

A deputation of the Catholic clergy had waited
emerging from fearful calamity, and about to enter
upon a state of calamity which found them unpre-
pared for it. The Honourable Member then
proceeded to quote further extracts from the reply of
the Lord Lieutenant to the addresses of the Catholic
clergy in Ireland. It was the duty of the Government
under this state of circumstances to endeavour
to obtain a settlement of the vexata questio of
landlord and tenant. The English farmers were
calling out for a settlement of that question.
Would the Government still continue to refuse an

security was given for the outlay on land no security
would be got either in England or Ireland to lay out
money in land. Let the Government do justice to
the Irish people and they might depend upon

ders that were taking place in Ireland. The
Government thought to give to the people of Ireland
pers ,ns who would look into their local affairs.
Let the House remember that they could conciliate
six millions of people by conceding a measure which
could byno possibility injure the country. The Irish party
hitherto had exhibited the greatest forbearance
towards her Majesty's Government, and the least
they could do was to continue them their aid
and assistance. With these sentiments he felt
constrained to move as an amendment, that although
the existing poor-laws might be adequate to supply the
wants of some districts in Ireland, it did not meet the
exigencies of others, and it was therefore absolutely
necessary that immediate measures should be adopted
to prevent pestilence and famine amongst a large
number of her Majesty's Irish subjects.
Mr. ROCHE seconded the amendment.
