IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.
HOUSE OF LORDS, April 20.
The LORD CUANCELLOR took his seat upon the Wool-
sack at Five o'clock.
WASTE LANDS (IRELAND) BILL.
The Marquis of WESTMEATH moved the second
reading of this Bill. He did not conceive that any ob-
jection could be taken against this Bill. He bad framed
the provisions of the measure upon the fairest and
strictest principles, and the operation of, the
law would be to prevent a considerable amount
of the delay and expense attendant upon obtaining an
injunction from the Irish Court of Chancery. A meet-
ing was held in Dublin a short time since, to con-
sider the state of Ireland, and to provide such reme-
dies as the nature of the case might require,
and resolutions were passed to the effect that the present
laws relating to " waste" in Ireland were highly in-
jurious, and should be modified. Many years since he
had stated to Sir J. Lynch the circumstances of a very
trrievons case, and that Learned Gen.leinan told 111Y1
that under such circumstances the Court of Chancery
ought to be compelled to part with some portion of its
berisdietion. In the year 1833,Mr. Lindsay was examined
bfore the House, and gave evidence as to the injurious

effects that the conacre system had, and then there were
no less than six Acts of Parliament passed in the Irish
Parliament against that mode of rating land. By the
17th of Geo. 11., cap. 10, it was expressly provided that
no person whatever should burn the surface of the soil,
under a penalty of forty shillings. Subsequent Acts
were also passed upon this subject, all of which imposed
penalties upon the persons who broke the provisions of
the Act with respect to conacre and the burning of the
surface of the soil. He could not believe that any.
opposition would be offered to this measure, and be left
the case entirely to the integrity of their Lordships, and
their sense of justice. He would beg, therefore, to
move the second reading of the Bill.
The LORD.CHANCELLOR said he bad 100
over the Bill of the Noble Lord, and he found by on,eol-
°,l
its provisions that the Act was not to extend to &ga
and Scotland.
The Marquis of WESTMEATII made sorae
planation, which was inaudible in the gallery. If
.th":
Noble Marquis could suggest any mode by which,--
ohject could be obtained without doing injustice, me

should have nn objection to passing it.
Lord BEAUMONT thought the object, rather than
the phraseology, of the Bill ought to be taken into COPS
sideration. Within the last few days he had learnec:
more of the relations subsisting between landlords all
tenants of the sister Kingdom. than all his reading and
the speeches he had heard, could have sup Plied to
him. If the Crown could not manage its estates in Ire-
land in the manner recommended by some Noble Lords,
how was it possible that they could expect individual
landlords to do so ? The barony of Ballyshannon was
part of the Crown property, and, until lately, was New
pied by tenants at will. The Crown, however, beings;
able to collect the rents, determined to proceed agar
the tenants under the law of ejectment. Fitt!.
three of these tenants consented to eV? ;Pa
possession, but they were -subsequently &hew, r
to resume their former occupancies. Now it was eles
from this that many of their tenants acknowledged the
right of the Crown, but although many of them were
able to pay, the Crown could never succeed in collecting
the rent. Eventually, however, the Crown resisted the
law to eject their tenants, and through the medium of the
police and the army, the Crown succeeded in serving
eight of its tenants with the usual process. Those
eight neglected to put in appearances, and in the progress
of time attachments were issued against the eight. The
sheriff, however, although aided by the military was
afraid to execute it, and the Crown then commenced ere-
ceedings against the poor sheriff. In the end, eight of
the tenants were arrested, but still four of them sue'
ceeded in retaining possession. The Crown, therefore,
next had recourse to the services of a middle'
man, and here again with only the sal!
result ; for the middle-man, whose name Ill"
Knox, a most, courageous man in attempting en
de his duty, nearly escaped with his life, while a Il
who was a witness to the assault was barbarously
murdered. And yet, after all these proceedings, the
.
tenants were still in possession, subdividing the lane a.
they thought proper without paying a farthing of rent'
Now, if the Crown could not succeed in such a ease,.sgin
this, how was the ordinary landlord to do so? Let "I
then hear no more of complaints against the landloril.
of Ireland. If they were deprived in this way of tl!ble
rights in spite of all law and justice, how was it pctsl.,
that the ordinary landlord could do his duty.--(111,
hear.) Government ought in this state
of things a
reduce the population to .the wants of the land, es,.,
provide for the surplus, either by some scheme of eon
gration, or by procuring them employment in want;
tures. He could not vote for the Bill of his
Friend, but he thought th‘ Government ought to
duce a measure on this subject.
Lord CAMPBELL thought, if the Noble Lord Pe.sr:
sisted in his Bill, it would only aggravate the erA;
under which Ireland was at present labouring.
hoped therefore he would withdraw it.
The Marquis of WESTMEATH disputed the rigehri
of any Noble Lord to know the state of Ireland bett.„
than he did.—(Laughter.) He therefore declined '—
withdraw his Bill. _
Lord CAMPBELL said that the Noble Marqubins:
entirely mistaken with respect to the law of Eng;,
and Scotland in this measure. He denied that thed.
was any law similar to that now proposed between 'no
lord and tenant in either of the two countries 110,
was no such power existing, and the Bill whit by
Noble Marquis now proposed was neither warrant
precedent, existing usage, or the necessities of the 10,

adopted
allthought
their
efforts for the improvement of the relation of landlord
and tenant would be quite ineffective. They had heard
the denunciation of the landlords when they resorted to
could
ejectments, but the only mode by which they
avert these ejectments was by passing such a Bill as the
present. He trusted their Lordships, on the withdrawal
of the present Bill, would bear in mind the difficulties
stated, and adopt measures for the purpose of doing
away with the evils under which Ireland laboured. Be
hoped ,his Noble Friend would not press his Bill to &
division, but that the Government would take the sub-
ject into their consideration.
The Marquis of WESTMEATH then withdrew the
Bill, and animadverted in the strongest terms on the
speech of the Lord Chancellor, who sought to chi-
cane away the honest efforts of an Irish Member of
Parliament to improve the unhappy condition of th
landlords of Ireland. Lord Almighty help us, continuee
the Noble Marquis ; it is a poor thing that no ezertiCn
.
can be made to protect the condition of the Irish lane
lords, without subjecting us to ridicule.—(Laughter.)
The Bill was then by leave withdrawn.
The other orders of the day were then disposed of, and
the House adjourned.
