Honourable Friend, the Chancellor of the 1-%%;
chequer, he proposed that the sum of 50,0004.
should be devoted to this object, to be expended in the
course of five years at the rate of 10,000/. a-year. .e
had anxiously looked at the means from
sum might be derived. The Board of Works reigl3'
advance three-fourths of the whole amount, and the r.e:
mainder in certain proportions might be drawn from the
localities which were to obtain the advantage of O.:
whence Ole_
grant. Those who were interested could not object of
bear a part of the expense ; but yet the impositi°ll he
that, expense must be laid on rateably, according too he
nature of the country on which the money was t°all
laid out. By means of a grant from the Exchequer
difficulty in raising the funds would be obviated. .11„
•
proposed, then, that competent persons, appoto
te
the Beard of Works and the Treasury, should 10dAI:
survey, and on the Government being satisfied of
eligibility of a site for a pier or harbo ur, that the 13yeci,,,
advance one half or one quarter of the necessarY
as the case might be, and the other shoul I be be
from her local sources. For instance,
chosen was one on the coast, which was occllPo,lto
fur no other chief object, then a certain small 'a• •
should be assessed on the district within a certain
tance on each side of the new pier. If the het
down to it communicated with any great road, S° oge
the interior of the country was to share in the ado!' to
then he would assess it on the land. If any tier
to obtain the advantage he would levy, after tue
of
of on on the poor-rate. Should the nature or
if the .0.1
coast be such that the improvement of the haru' Merely
the erection of the pier was likely to serve not „„ty
the fishery but also the general commercial coulle",t;010
for the shipping and lauding of goods, then he v`„,od
have an assessment through the agency of the bs-stis'
jury of the county, whose decision must prover r the
factory to all parties. He had also provided e sod
repair as well as the construction of these svoti'nosr
this difficulty, he thought, was best met by the piers
tion of certain dues to be paid by those using thei; the
and harbours, but yet he would not attempt to' g the GO'
use of them compulsory. It had occurred ell by the
vernment that much discouragement was felt lid
Irish population in want of boats, nets, and all other the

of tackle requisite for their calling, and also fr°
the

the coast of Waterford, where great injury he,,, werl
suffered by the insufficient manner in which tP"cille",

On the motion being put,
Mr. FITZSTEPHEN FRENCH said that itibea f;

Mr. ROSS thought that the Government iaritl
about the matter in the right way, and Were le. 0
good foundation for the prosperity of the pe°P „De's
such appliances as were then proposed, there woll ,i
be no want on any of the coasts of Ireland, for fiet!A
in the extreme abundant all round the island. 0 caber

Such a relief to the country must, therefore, rsgteJiiii
great commercial advantage, which in truth Ws from 0
needed, as he had that morning seen a letter to ibe, es'
friend Lord Lurgan, who stated the peer,auti,l
great distress, and he (Mr. Ross) was couseq; FP':

Sir. H. WINSTON BARRON was great-v.oo

that the Government had brought this queAlaner
their notice, for with all the advantages of ii, Is°
for fish than Ireland, it was a fact much to i'e on
that for many years past several thousand Pe,l),,l3its
of fish, cured in Scotland, had been annunor,
into Ireland. When the provisions of the J3l,:a nett
carried out, he entertained little doubt but tii,-lis•
would Ireland supply her own population with 06,, oat lc',
a large quantity would be cured there, and sen,cero

famine and distress that were cowing thi6,l

he could satisfy the House from a paper "',laar`iari
