FARMERS' ESTATE SOCIETY (IRELAND) BILL
On the order of the day being read for bringing up
the report on this Bill,
Mr. STAFFORD moved the insertion of the follow-
ing clause, after clause 33, which was agreed to:—" And
he it enacted, that if any lands shall be subject to any
judgment, and part only of such lands shall be taken or
purchased by the company under this Act, the release of
any portion of such lands from any judgment affecting
the same shall not operate, or be construed to extend or
operate, so as to nullify or in any manner to affect the
validity and force of such judgment as regards the resi-
due of such lands, or any other property not specially
released from such judgment; but such judgment shall
continue to affect such residue or other property not-
withstanding such release, in like manner and with the
likespowera to enforce payment of interest and principal,
audio all intents and purposes as if such release had not
• been executed."
Colonel DU NNE moved the insertion of the following
additional clause :—" Be it therefore enacted, that any
person or persons who shall have been evicted from
lands purchased by the company, either within the space
of twelve months previors to the purchase of such lands
by said company, or subsequently, during the period in
which said lands shall be vested in said company, and
shall also become chargeable as paupers to the relief of
the poor, then and in that case a rate, separate and
distinct from to ordinary rate levied on the union or
electoral division wherein such lands are situate, shall
be made and levied by the guardians of said union on the
said lands so purchased by the company for the support
and maintenance, either within or without the work-
house, as they shall direct of the said evicted persons
• and their families ; and said rate to be made and levied
as other rates for the relief of the poor, in addition to
the ordinary rate, on such lands, for the space of five
)'earn from the date of sale of said lands by the company.

FRENCH was entirely opposed to the clause,
press ,ped the Hon. and Gallant Member would not
it, as the effect of it would be to nullify the other
portion of the Bill.
fir '-',—°ltGE GREY said he did not perfectly under-
stand tne clause,
fere hoped that-tas it was so loosely drawn, and there-
i would be withdrawn.
Colonel -DUNN. apprehended that the clause was
perfectly intelligible
Atter a tew observations from other Hon. Members,

clause, believing that tl

Ilou. and Gallant Member had in view was a
rood
but lie would advise him to withdraw the present(. clause,
and introduce another drawn up with more care,. and
which was less likely to meet with opposition.
After a few observations from Mr. M'Cullagh, Mr, p.
Scrope, and Mr. Monsell,
Mr. STAFFORD opposed the clause, but if the non.
and Gallant Member would not withdraw it, he was of
opinion that it would be advisable to divide the House
on the subject, as there were many who were favourable
to the principle it laid down. •
