PAVING 01/ DUBLIN.

111 r. eIIICTSPI TA Rr r, se, in pursuance of the
notice he
,had given, tO move leave to bring in
Bill to appoint Commissioners to inquire and ex_
amine into any Irregularities or 'Abuses that May
have' taken place in the Cleansing a. d Lighting the
City of Dublin, and also to pr,vole for the Sus.
pension of the present 'Board for Cleansing, Light:
the City of Dublin, anti for 'vesting that
Office in other 'persons,. and for better conduaing
and Managing the BuSiness' of the said-Board.
,He
said he felt the disadvanCages under which a person,
musklabour who was not locally acquainted with the
place to which he wished to apply regUla'tions : but
he had bren inforMed that the grievance which he
prpuseti to remedy was.of so pressing a nature,
that a. delay in -bringing this suljett before Parlia,
tnent would be attended with great inconvenience :
ard he had the "good fortune to be suir,,untied by
Gentlemen who WoU:d give every possible informa.
lion, and coned him it he was wrung. Ii was tie.
ces"saty for him to state, that the present BOard
Ireland originated in an Act of Parliament Renodsed
by a Noble Lord (DC &AV., 1EIF) in 1784, by
,1
which a former Commission was deprived of its pow.
ers, and great power's were veiled 40 the newilo:'arti:
This peared to bini to have been drawn with
great attention; it appointed 6.DireCiors'and 6COM,
missioners ; the former Were tu haveno salary,:and the
latter to he paid only in proportion to their attend.
anCe. ,It had, however,„terrne&out that this Board,
either through traistiailagenient'or from unfortunate
circumstances,: had got VerYconsiderably into debt,
and the situation'of the streets of Dublin Was new
absolutely disgraceful. It was not now necessary
for him to examine "who was io fault, because the
existence of the evil was sufficient to justify hirn in
proposing the Inquiry. When the present Board
was instituted, their predecessors bequeathed thent
debt
of 45,6061, ; ttiar 'debt was, DOW '8.1,000%
rt was theretOre evident that to gtS on in the Same
system, without increasing the-revenue or applying
some remedy, vould'Ohly increase an evil already
of sitch magnitiade,; With regard to any rniittiange...
merit which Might hate take') place, he had not sal. •
ficient infolmation to enible hot) to speak positive.
'ly, but he had sufficient to be satisfied that an in,.
(pity was necessary. It Wii3 arso his intention to
propose that a power should be given to the Lord
Lieutenaot (in case the cultunissnmers of Inquiry
now tri be 'appointed should so advise hint) to stts.,
pend,the peseta •Boaid, and fa appoint a new one
fur the conduCt of this busbies's. Bot the House
must beaware, that Whether the'pre'stit -4,40 was
continued, or a new !brava appointed, the evil must
increase, uniess.eurae fUtiO were provided:, he shoutd
therefore propose to the IF use to give a power to
the Vrtworer bllrelAtiki to advance a sod) of inooey
for the present exigency. But as he was anxious
not td ad'with any precipitations upon'this Subjeet,
he should prOpose, after the Bill was brought in, to
up the blanks in a ComMittee, with a view to
its bjeg recommitted, and, in the mean time; it
Should he sent tO Irxldrid for the Consideration of
the Corporarioo of Dublin. This mode of proceed:
log lie thought must candid and proper. He cent.
clUdeti. with intrving,ftir leaVe to'bring.in'the
Lord,DE III.AQUI-ERE expressed his satisfac.
lion that the Inquiry was to be.tustituted.-e-He said
the Dellt cuntratted by the present Board arose front'
the great increase oil the price of every article :
for instance, was inure than double the price: it wit's
when the'4oard was first instittitcd ; 'and the sum they
paid for cleansing the City had inereaSeelfrUm
to s,opol.a.year, and I'ol , • they wereonly allowsd
2,00.61, a.year. 11ct arproved very touch of the
Inquiry, because, If the present Board heti 'Atted
*wrong, they ought to be punished but lie. hopedthe new Commissioners of Inquiry would be ap_
pointed by Parliament. lie Complained of the
Report made by the Ceminissionors of iniprest
'Accounts, which, Le sail, e,;ntaliied 'unfounded
ch4rges avinst` the present Board."

Mr. Al,Ex..4lgpER, said, that the great'inCrease

or isCCA:dUa. was found oot, it ought to be ,punish.
