his labourers to go from one fi,ld to another ; they re-
fuse 1, he sent his steward to remonstrate, and the re-
sult was that they broke the steward's skull and de-
manded his dismissal, threatening that if their demand
was not acceded to they would murder himself in the
morning. Then, with respect to the fisheries in Ire-
land ; these might be rendered very productive, but no
capitalist would embark his capital in the promotion of
them. He (Captain Fitzmaurice) had spoken to a per-
son who fished an extensive portion of the west coast of
England, and asked him why he did not try the west of
Ireland. That person replied that he had done so, but
that his boats and nets had been cut adrift the first night.
If the Government gave security to life and property in
Ireland, they would find persons to reside in th,
country, but until that were done, the miseries of that
country would not be in any degree alleviated. The
secret of Ireland's success, was to be found in one mony-
syllable—the spade—and only by encouraging the culti-
vation of the soil, and inducing proprietors to reside
upon their estates, could they add to the prosperity of
Ireland.

Sir G. GREY then proposed the following amend-
ments, which were agreed to :
In clause 2, line 14, after the word " the," insert
" Workhouse or ;" same line, after the word " Union,"
insert "as the case may be." Line 15, after the word
" disease," insert "is or."
Clause 9, line 36, after the word " next," insert the
words " after the passing of this Act."

Clause 11, line 36, leave out the words "chargeable
to," and after the word " expenses," insert "incurred
for the relief of the poor."
At the end of clause 13, insert the following proviso :
"Provided always, and be it enacted, that all expenses
incurred in aid of the emigration of any occupier and
his family, under the provisions of this Act, shall be
charged to the electoral division to which such occupier
and his family would have been chargeable, if they had
become destitute and had received relief from the guar-
dians of any union; and no expenses incurred in aid of
the emigration of any occupier and his family, or any
destitute poor person, under the provisions of this Act,
or any of the Acts for the relief of the destitute poor in
Ireland, shall be deemed to be expenses incurred for the
relief of the poor."
Clause 26, line 40, after the word "disallowance,"
insert "or reduction;" in the same line, leave out the
words "by this Act declared to be illegal."
(School for the North and South Dublin Unions.)
And whereas it is expedient that the guardians of
the pool. of the North Dublin and South Dubli❑ u❑ions
should be enabled to join in the occupation and main-
tenance of a school for the education of the children re-
ceiving relief in the workhouses of the said unions : Be
it exacted, that the poor-law commissioners be empow-
ered to hire or purchase land, not exceeding
statute acres, and to erect thereon a suitable building,
according to a plan approved by them, and sealed with
their seal, to be used and occupied as a school for the
reception, maintenance, and education of children not
above the age of fifteen years, being inmates of one or
other of the workhouses of the North Dublin and
South Dublin unions ; and the guardians of each of
the said unions shall contribute to the cost of hiring
or purchasing such land, and of erecting such build-
ing, and of upholding, repairing, or altering the
same, in the proportion which the net annual value of
the one union bears to the net annual value of the other,
and shall contribute in the same proportion to defray
the expenses of furnishing and fitting up the said school,
nod providing all articles, implements, and requisites,
for the common use of the inmates thereof, and to the
salaries and ether emoluments of the paid officers to be
appointed as hereinafter is provided; but the mainte-
nance of the children belonging to each union, which the
guardians of such union shall direct and send to be
educated in such school, shall be at the separate cost of
the union, and the proportion of the cost of maintenance
to be charged on each union shall be calculated, and shall
be defrayed by the guardians of the union, in such
manner as the Poor law Commissioners shall direct:
provided that the guardians of each union shall not be
entitled to send to be maintained and educated in such
school, a number of children exceeding that proportion
of the whole number to be at one time maintained in the
said school, which agrees with the proportion borne by
the net annual value of the union to the net annual of
both unions, except with the con'ent of the Poor-law
Commissioners in that behalf first had and obtained.

(Board of Management for conducting the School.)
And be it enacted, that the management of the said
school shall be conducted by a Board of Management,
consisting of so many members of the respective boards
of guardians of the North Dublin and South Dublin
Unions, as the Poor-law Commissioners shall by order
under their seal direct, and such members shall be chosen
by the guardians of the said unions, in such proportions,
and at such times and in such manner as the Commis-
sioners shall direct; and the chairman of each of the said
unions shall be an ex-officio member of the said board of
management ; and the said board of management shall
meet, three members thereof being present to form a
board, and shall exercise their functions and perform
their duties in accordance with the rules and regulations
issued by the Poor-law Commissioners for their guidance
and control ; and it shall be lawful for the Poor-law
Commissioners to authorise and direct the said board
of management to appoint paid officers for the
superintendence of the said school, of such de-
scription and with such qualifications and salaries as
the said Commissioners shall deem fitting and expedient.
and to prescribe the duties to be performed by the said
officers respectively; and every such paid officer shalt be
subject in all respects to the control of the Poor-•law
Commissioners and the Board of Management, in the
same manner as other paid officers appointed under the
Acts now in force for the relief of the poor are subject
to the control of the Poor-law Commissioners and the
guardians of the union whereof they are officers, and
shall be liable to removal in the same manner.
On the amendments being agreed to.

Mr. GRI )GAN said that-he-had given notice of two
additional clauses, because the authorities of Liverpool
had intimated that they intended to appeal against the
imposit.ons which had been placed upon them. He un-
derstood that the proposition of clauses, by way of rider,
at the present moment, was irregular, but as there were
at the present time 40,00,1 destitute poor requiring; sub
sistence in Dublin, he thought that some. mea-ure was
necessary to settle the mode of settlement in Ireland.
The SIT AKER—The Hon. Member was clearly ir-
regular in bringing forward such clauses in the present
stage.
Sir G. GREY said that the law of settlement was of
too much importance to be settled by clauses introduced
as riders on a 8.11 about to be read a third time and
passed. The subject would have the anxious attention
of the Government and would be arranged in a future
measure.

The clauses were then withdrawn.
The Bill was read, with the amendments, a third time
and passed.
LANDLORD PROPERTY (IRELAND) BILL.

On the motion of Lord J. RUSSELL, that ibis Bill be
read a third time,
Colonel RAWDON, in moving a sentence at the end
of clause 4, " for erecting and making corn-mills, wi.h
the necessary buildings and K ater-courses, for perma-
nently improving the lands in Ireland," said that the evi-
dence of Mr. Trevillian, who had been much maligned,
had fully proved the necessity for these works, and he
only wished that he had had the benefit of his presence,
for he had shown that the mill power in the Channel
Wands had been of infinit, service to the inhabitants,
and he wanted to know why the Government had de-

the motion of his lion. and' Gallant Friend. The clause
itself would be found most desirable for the west of
Ireland. He did, however, think with his Hon. Friend
behind him, that it would be a useless expenditure of
money to erect mills of this kind. What they wanted
were erections of a different character.

The House divided, when there appeared—

Lord GEORGE BENTINCK moved that:a portion of

Sir G. GREY said that it would be better to appro-

land.

Mr. SHARMAN CRAWFORD then moved that 35th
and 45th clauses be expunged, as he considetad that
they would place too much power in the hands of the
proprietors, and would prove most injurious to the
tenants.

Mr. HINDLEY seconded the motion.
The SOLICITOR-GENERAL for IRELAND said
the clauses had been framed for the express purpose of
leading to the improvement of the land, and that their
expulsion would mati,rially vitiate the object of the Bill.
Mr. S. CRAW/I( fRD said he would • not divide the
house on his proposition, and begged, therefore, to
withdraw it.

A CENTRAL POLICE-BTATION.---A police-station
on a very extensive scale is now being erected in King-
street, Westminster, for the A division of police, in the place
of the miserable hole in Gardener's-lane. It will include a
residence for the Superintendent, ooachhouse and stabling
for the crinsinal vans, and the other offices and cells for the
prisoners: It occupies a considerable space of ground.
