DESTITUTE PERSONS (IRELAND) BILL,

Lord JOHN RUSSELL in moving the second reading of
this Bill, intimated that, as this Bill was for the immediate
relief of the starving people of Ireland, for whom work could
not be obtained, and was therefore exceedingly pressing, he
proposed to have it committed on Thursday.
. .

BOUVERIE could not allow_ the- Bill to be read a
second time without calling attention to the serious nature of
its provisions. Government had admitted that the plan of
employing the people had entirely. fa!led, and therefore this
Bill was to provide food for the people out of the consolidated
funds. There was no man in the House or the country who
would grudge the money for the relief of the Irish people, but
it must be remembered that there w..s likely to be a deficiency
of the fond of the Irish people for some years to come yet,
and he wanted to know if the House was prepared on all oc-
casions to make up the deficiency out of the Consolidated
Fund? At all even s, if the House was, he was sure the
people of this country were not ; the consequences must be
eventually frightful.—(Hear, hear.)
Mr. GOULItUIiN said the Bill gave the Government in-
definite power to draw upon the Consolidated Fund for any
money that might be required for the relief of the poor of
Ireland. Now he thought the more constitutional way would
be for Government to call upon the House, from time to time,
for supplies for this particular purpose, however large they
might be.
The Bill was (lien read a second time, and ordered to be com-
mitted on Thursday.
