no'v procitte3 would have the effetq of an cx post
faao law. Fie
.noticed the extent to which the
dradice of kuu letting and dividing prevailed in Ire.'
lArld ; so much so, that nt!tarly the whole county of
Tipperary, was in that predicament. The praetice,
however, was becoming less eery day. Not was
such a Si-WC: fei of tenure, a little prevalent in this
country, of w' ten cases of 'pit-rent were an in-
stance. Ft- should not oppose either the first read-
ing or the printing of the Hill, and,would feet 4ppy
could any sa etiettual remedy be suggested tor
the evil in Tie ttion.
The Earl oh SUVFOLK diade a few observations re-
. speeting the ditticultit,s (of which_ he cited an in-
stance) that olnaitted,in the:vresent state of Ireland,
of providing efficacious remedies for the mischiefs
complained of, Which, however, he was glad to learn
from a Nu.)-le Eirl, were progressively diminish-

ing.
Lord HOLLAND deecrecated the undue' treat-
ment. uich he said the measure of his Noble
Friend experienced on its first introduction, and he,
(or one, conceived it. very possible to introduce a.
remedy witeout intringlng the fundathenial laws of
pio;:erty. The measure of his Noble Friend had his
hearty concurrence, and what fell from the Noble
,Lords opposite proved the propriety of sending it to
a Committee, in which alone alterations and sug-
gestions for its amelioration could be regularly dis-
cussed. The disturbed state of Ireland had not a
little been adverted to, and the very extensive sys,
torn of sub-letting, and the pra&ices of the middle
men were held to contribute to that disturbed state ;
it was then the more incumbent on the Huuse to
adopt every pra&icable means that presented itself,
of allaying these disturbances, and redressieg the
evils which exist in that couutry.
The Earl of • CLANCARTY spoke in explanation.
The LQxD CHANCELLOR assured the Noble Lords,
that he was not inattentive to the subject. He be-
lieved the general feeling was, that the Bill should
be read a first time, and ordered to be printed. He
was fully aware of the great extent of the subjeCt to
which it referred, and felt that those who wished to
do itjustice, must attend to a vast mass of considera-
tons which appertained to that species of property
in bOth parts of the United Kingdom. The Noble
and Learned Lord seemed of opinion that some le-
gislative provision may be suggested, as applicable to
tue subject and advantageous to Ireland.
Earl STANHOPE spoke shortly in reply. Ile
thanked the Noble Lord on ,the Woolsack for the
candour of his observations, but contended the Noble
and Learned ,Lord who spOke first did not under-
steed the provisions of his, Bill, which, when it was
printed, he hoped he would honour with a reading.
10 reference to what had been observed by one or
two of their Lordships, he noticed the paucity of
Magistrates in some parts of Ireland, and expressed
his apprehension, that under the existing system the
w was administered oftener against than for
,the
peasantry of Ireland. The subject of the Bill was
far from being the only grievance the poor in Ire-
land laboured under ; the oppressors of Tithe Proc-
. tors formed another part. He felt he had but duue
done his duty in thus coming forward on an exten-
sive and prominent part of those grievances, and in
submitting what he conceived to be an adequate re-
medy to the consideration of their Lordships.
The Bill was then read a first time, and_ ordefed
to be. piffled.
The Insolvent Debtors' Bill was read a second
time, and the other Bids upon the table being for-
warded, the House adjourned till to-morrow.
